The Duarte Kiawanis club honored John Fasana as Community Angel 2024. John, a dedicated community servant and friend, how deserving of this honor! It was a joy to host the local San Gabriel community and Kiawanis club at Madonna Hall in our campus. Prayers always for you John and your family!

Today, we rejoice and celebrate Santa Teresita's 94th anniversary! Each day, we're humbled to serve in healthcare, following the footsteps of our foundress, Mother Luisita, who began Santa Teresita in 1930. We're grateful for the blessings that have grown and transformed our 12-acre campus over the years, and the lives we have the privilege to encounter.

Our residents enjoyed a special visit from three "Santa Teresita pilgrims" who embarked on a touching "94-mile pilgrimage" to Cristo Rey and Good Shepherd Cottages, praying to St. Therese of Lisieux to intercede in our enduring mission!

United with those who attended the National Eucharistic Revival Congress in Indianapolis, we at Santa Teresita encountered the greatest gift ever given - Jesus in the Eucharist!
