Dear Parishioners, On Friday, November 19, we celebrated the Solemnity of the Dedication of St. Teresa Church with a special school Mass.  Our beautiful church was first dedicated on Nov. 19, 1952.  That means that this sacred structure has been the place that this community has gathered to worship the Lord for 69 years!  It’s a good opportunity to reflect …

Dear Saint Teresa Parishioners, PSA: Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday at 2am. At this time in our technologically advanced community, most of our clocks change themselves.

Dear Saint Teresa Parishioners, We are all encouraged to attend Sunday’s Parish Picnic.

September 24, 2021: Weekend Report

Dear Saint Teresa Parishioners, Feels like we begin every e-mail with, “things are picking up!” and it’s not wrong, but it’s getting repetitive, isn’t it? Perhaps it feels that way because events are taking place now that we had to cancel last year. School is going strong. Our Titular Feast Day is October 1st. The parish picnic is October 3rd. …
