Triduum Live streaming schedule and the Thomistic Institute Quarantine lectures
Triduum Schedule
Pope Francis has stated that in areas where civil authorities have placed restrictions on public gatherings that the parishes should celebrate the Paschal Triduum and inform the faithful of the times of the celebration so that they may prayerfully unite with the parish in their homes. It is our hope to live-stream these liturgies to help in this regard and then the videos will be posted on the St. Therese YouTube channel.Holy Thursday Livestream: Mass of the Lord's Supper: 7:00 pm Thursday, April 9
Good Friday Livestream: 3:00 pm Friday, April 10
Easter Vigil Livestream: 8:00 pm Saturday, April 11
Easter Sunday Livestream: 10:00 am Sunday, April 12
PDF Guide of the Liturgies
Since we cannot celebrate these beautiful liturgies as usual in our churches this year, the Diocese has made this PDF guide available to allow you to follow along with the liturgies and meditate on the readings and prayers throughout Holy Week. A printed copy of this guide is also being mailed to all registered parishioners who receive the Catholic News Herald. As Bishop Jugis writes in his message, let us unite in prayer this Holy Week and Easter so that our diocesan family may be truly "one body, one spirit in Christ."
The Thomistic Institute Quarantine Lectures
St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that God always brings good out of evil. That's why The Thomistic Institute has launched live streaming Quarantine Lectures. We'll keep it going until the quarantine is lifted!
Visit https://thomisticinstitute.org/quarantine-lectures to view past lectures and to subscribe to the Quarantine Lectures mailing list. Lectures can be watched live streamed on Facebook, YouTube or Zoom and recordings can be watched later.Past lectures: Grace and Anxiety, Spiritual Growth in a Time of Turmoil, Plagues, What We Can Learn from the Bible, and The Presence of God in a Season of Solitude are ready to watch now.

warning - email threats!
EMAIL AND TEXT THREAT - SCAM ALERT REMINDER!
Update: March 31, 2020We have been alerted that staff and several parishioners have received an email this morning from someone posing as Fr. Mark Lawlor and asking for a favor. This is a Scam! Unfortunately, it is one of numerous email and phone scams that request monetary help, or gift cards supposedly for a trusted friend or family member. Scams have been sent from people posing both as Fr. Mark Lawlor and Fr. Paul Asoh. Please be aware that scam texts are also now being sent.If you receive one of these emails or texts, please contact Lisa Cash at lcash@sainttherese.net. Emails can be forwarded and if you received a text, please include that information in the email. At this time, we believe emails are only being sent to Staff and Ministry Leaders due to their contact information being on our website, but we wanted to alert all our parishioners of this scam.Thank you!
Stay safe and be well!
