Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus

Dear Parishioners, Last weekend the 8th grade class from our parish school auctioned homemade scarecrows. They are quite the talented and hardworking class judging by the variety and quality of their work. It was a big success. Thank you to those who donated, the students, their parents, and to our teachers and staff who helped organize the event. The donations go to support 8th grade activities like their class trip.

Dear Parishioners, Our parish feast day is here! On October 1st the Church celebrates the memorial of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus, also known as St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Even though October 1st falls on a weekday this year, the Church allows us to celebrate St. Teresa during the weekend Masses as a solemnity. We distinguish three different types of celebrations: Memorials, feasts, and solemnities. Each have different liturgical elements (for instance, we pray the Gloria and Creed on a solemnity, but only the Gloria on a feast day). As our patroness, we celebrate St. Teresa as a solemnity, decorate her statue, and ask for her intercession this weekend. Click the title to read more.
