The Church of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus (Spanish: Iglesia de Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús) is a Catholic church located in the Santa Beatriz neighbourhood of Lima District, Lima, Peru. It therefore operates under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Lima.

History

Due to the disappearance of the church of Guadalupe, in charge of the Congregation of Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception, due to the construction of the Palace of Justice, it was decided to build a new temple in a nearby place.

On December 18, 1927, the first stone was laid for the construction of the parish temple, on the old Santa Beatriz farm. President Augusto B. Leguía and Teresa Álvarez-Calderón (widow of Manuel Candamo) were sponsors. Various groups of ladies of the congregation carried out various activities to benefit the construction, which concluded in 1938.

In 1969, the church was the location for one of episodes of the soap opera Simplemente María.
