Thérèse was beatified on 29 April 1923 and canonized on 17 May 1925, by Pope Pius XI, who considered her as "the star of his pontificate".
In 1927 Pope Pius XI named Thérèse a patroness of the missions with Francis Xavier SJ, and in 1944 Pope Pius XII named her co-patroness of France with St Joan of Arc.
