Parish Ministries
Parish Ministries are our parish family members in action.
All ministries show participating parishioners devotion to, and love of, helping the rest of us to become closer to God's gifts. They assist in liturgy, help us recognize what we are as catholic, educate through RCIA and minister to all of us in many diverse ways...
Both time and talents are abundant here...

Bored, tired, feeling uninterested?
The word you need is "involvement" - meaning, of course, taking part in activities interesting to you and hopefully helpful to someone or something. The giving of your time, attention and love to a project you find fulfilling is INVOLVEMENT in capital letters!
Wanna be involved...
Parishioners to be met, food to be distributed, joining a group to defend the right for life, meetings on our parish life and helping during events bring us together and closer as the family of the people of God, is what St. Theresa is all about...
Catch the Spirit!
