I think you mean "convent". Saint Térèse of Lisieux was dead when she was proclaimed the patron saint of missions, so her consent is a moot point. :)

St. Therese of Lisieux. She had gone on pilgrimages before joining the convent. Later, as a nun, she was invited several times to join a mission in French Indochina, but had to decline because of illness. She did correspond frequently with the missionaries.

If you mean the mission in Iraq, probably St Jude, the patron saint of lost causes

St. Therese of Lisieux Born: 1873 AD, Died: 1897 AD This Carmelite nun was know as Little Flower. Author of Story of A Soul. Died at age 24.
I am only reporting this information...I cannot understand, though, how a convent-bound nun could be called patron of missions. I would have given something like that to St Clare, who sent out her nuns.

I'm pretty sure its Therese of Lisieux, but i'm not 100% sure. maybe like 95% sure....
