Celebrating the Jubilee Year of Saint John of the Cross
(December 13, 2025 - December 26, 2026)
Dear Parishioners,
Please be aware of an ongoing scam affecting churches across the country, including Saint Therese Church. Individuals (usually working from a factory in a Third World country) may contact you via email or text, impersonating one of our clergy or parish staff by using a fake e-mail or phone number (if your info is on our website or bulletin as the contact for a ministry, you have a good chance of being targeted).
If they contact you, they most likely will ask for your help to purchase gift cards or send money. Be assured that NO ONE FROM ST. THERESE CHURCH--CLERGY OR STAFF--WILL EVER ASK YOU TO PURCHASE GIFT CARDS, SEND MONEY, OR PROVIDE PAYMENT INFORMATION IN THIS WAY. If you receive such a request, do not respond. You do not need to inform us if it happens to you, as there is no way for us to stop it from occurring.
Thank you for your vigilance and for helping keep our community safe.
Clicking any of the "flyers" will either enlarge them for easy reading or take you to a related website for more info.

For Catholics between the ages of 21 and 60--divided into two groups
September 19, 2026, in the St. Therese Parish Hall
About This Event
This event is not just speed dating, it's speed dating inspired by Ignatian spirituality.
Go beyond first impressions and learn how to intentionally discern each connection with God at the center.
This is an opportunity to meet other Catholic singles while learning practical tools to recognize healthy connections and seek God's guidance in the dating process.
