Open House Week Spring 2026
Feb. 16-20 2026

Registration

Experience a Day in the Life

You’re invited to come and experience St. Therese Institute for yourself! Join us for one, two, three, or more days of our OPEN HOUSE WEEK.

You’ll get to live like a student right along side our current students attending classes. You’ll join in community prayer and Mass, eat meals with us, play sports or do crafts/projects at rec time, participate in daily chores, and live the exact same experience that you would if you were in the program.

Are you considering Canada’s life-changing Catholic gap year? Maybe you know someone who has talked about attending St. Therese Institute and you want to try the experience, or maybe you’re a St. Therese alumni who wants to recharge and re-experience the unique STIFM student life. We welcome you whoever you are. Come see!

Who's This For?

New prospective Catholic Gap-Year attendees (age 17-27) who want to experience St. Therese life, STIFM Alumni who want to re-engage with STIFM life, parents of current program participants, supporters of the St. Therese Mission, and members of the wider Catholic community.

*Open House week is subsidized by the St. Therese Institute so that we can provide an extremely affordable price of admission, lower than our real cost per-person. For this reason, we are unable to negotiate case-by-case fee scales for considerations like the number of meals actually taken or whether or not a guest redeems the overnight booking available to him/her.

Walk-in registrations during the course of the Open House week are welcome and must present themselves at the St. Therese Institute front office to register.
