Experience a Day in the Life

Join us on the weekend!

You’ll get to live like a resident right alongside doing life on the weekend. 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 on the weekend.

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?

For folks discerning to apply to St. Therese Institute. This event is specifically designed for new prospective Catholic Gap-Year attendees (age 17-27) who want to experience St. Therese life. This is not for everyone.

*Open House weekend 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 weekend are welcome and must present themselves at the St. Therese Institute front office to register.
