The St. Therese Parish Library exists for the use, benefit, and spiritual growth of its parishioners, through the provision of reading material and other educational resources to further their knowledge of the Catholic Church and its faith. Emphasis is placed on materials that are consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church, that also enhance one’s knowledge of the faith, strengthen their spiritual life, and their relationship with God. We want to help you know and love your Lord and his church, and for you to also be equipped to share your faith with others.
Vision
The STCC Parish Library envisions being a warm, vibrant, and welcoming place for our parish community where members all can gather to further learn and discover more about the history and the faith of the Catholic Church, and to grow in their spiritual lives and discipleship in Christ.
