Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, and for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, yet I rejoice that You have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, and never to stop defending life until all my brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once again becomes a nation with liberty and justice not just for some, but for all, through Christ our Lord. Amen!

Hi. We’re St. Theresa Parish. And this is what we’re about. 💜

Last night was opening night of St. Theresa Catholic School’s “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” 🌹💛

We’re so proud of all the hard work our kiddos have put into this show! 🎬

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. —Matthew 6:6

“The power of sacred music increases the honor given to God by the Church in union with Christ, its Head. Sacred music likewise helps to increase the fruits which the faithful, moved by the sacred harmonies, derive from the holy liturgy. These fruits, as daily experience and many ancient and modern literary sources show, manifest themselves in a life and conduct worthy of a Christian.”

― Pope Pius XII

We’ll be thinking about this weekend for a long time… 🕊️🤍

Let us pray. O God, who through Your Son bestowed upon the faithful the fire of Your glory, sanctify † this new fire, we pray, and grant that, by these paschal celebrations, we may be so inflamed with heavenly desires, that with minds made pure we may attain festivities of unending splendor. Through Christ our Lord.

One of the best things about St. Theresa is our Faith studies. There’s nothing like being known & loved by a small group of people you’re doing life with!

Alleluia! He is Risen!
