Congregation of Saint Therese of Lisieux
The Congregation of Saint Therese of Lisieux (CST) is a religious congregation for men in the Syro-Malabar Church. It was founded on March 19, 1931, by Rev. Fr. Basilius Panat at Mookkannur, Kerala.
The congregation is dedicated to St. Therese of Lisieux (The Little Flower). The Fathers follow her "Little Way" of spiritual childhood—doing small things with great love. This spirituality of simplicity, trust, and love guides all their educational and social service activities.
The CST Fathers are committed to the integral development of people, especially the poor and marginalized. Through schools, technical institutes, orphanages, and hospitals, they strive to build a more just and humane society. Little Flower School, Kalyan Bhadarsa, is a testament to this enduring commitment to quality education and character formation.
