A family of faith-filled
parishioners with love & support

Welcome to St Therese Little Flower Catholic Church, a small urban core Roman Catholic Church with a big heart in the Blue Hills neighborhood of mid-town Kansas City, Missouri. We are a very faith-filled, diverse, spirit-led community that is small enough to be a very intimate and close-knit family yet large enough to serve our brothers and sisters in the community who are less fortunate than we are.


We are united at the Table of the Lord in the Eucharist. We enjoy being a family and the love and support that we can share. We enjoy fellowship and fun with our church family and are driven by a sense of justice and peace in our neighborhood and beyond.

Watch Mass online

Our diverse community joins as one spiritual family to praise the Lord each Sunday at 9 a.m. If you can't join us in person, please join us virtually by viewing our Catholic Mass livestream on Facebook or YouTube.
