If our program looks great to you, why not apply? Applying is part of the discernment process and being accepted does not mean you are obliged to come.

Is this program right for you?
St. Therese Institute offers a 9-month Life Changing Catholic Gap Year Program for young adults (17-28 years old). This program leads them to new places and experiences designed to grow their faith in Jesus, character, the practice of the Christian life, and discernment toward future pathways. Students and staff live together in a small community while studying, working, praying, and playing.
If you are considering applying to the program, be sure to check out the Program Overview, a Day in the Life and the St. Therese Institute Vision.
