thank you to the 75th anniversary committee!
I recall that a priest on the faculty of the seminary reminded us that there were people in the parish before we were assigned and that there will be people in the parish after we will leave. He also encouraged us to learn the parish history. As the pastor here for only four years, I know that I am only a small part of the parish history. I have been fortunate in that we have had a very dedicated team and numerous volunteers working on the 75th anniversary which was celebrated in conjunction with the Feast of St. Therese. You have truly risen to the occasion! We seek to follow the virtues and spirituality of our patroness, St. Therese, "The Little Flower," Carmelite and Doctor of the Church.
Fr. Mark

blessing of the animals
The Blessing of the Animals was held at St. Therese in honor of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. There were many wagging tails as Fr. Mark learned the names of each of the animals and they received their blessing.
