Help us in keeping our children safe!

A teen group, similar to what we

had here at St. Theresa with LIFT

(Living In Faith Together), will be

forming over the summer. This

group will focus on faith-building,

community service and fun, plus

fellowship and, of course, good food!

We’ll watch movies, read the Bible,

do service projects, take field trips,

tell our stories and just talk about

what it means to be Catholic in today’s

world. And, don’t forget, lots

of good food!

You can bring your friends from

school, from your neighborhood or

from other groups, too. Plus, you can

meet new people, help the younger

kids, serve others and grow together

in your Catholic faith. Jesus told

Peter, “…upon this rock, I will build

My Church.” YOU guys are the next

layer of rocks and He’s still building!

Watch your mail, the parish paper

and the bulletin for more details, in

the coming months.

If there are any young people who

went through LIFT here or parents

who’d like to help us with this vital

new ministry, please call the parish

office at 847-358-7760 or Tim Daro

at 847-602-7146 anytime, for more

information. NOTE: For those

who’ll work with the teens, the Archdiocese

requires VIRTUS training.

Lastly, we’re having a contest to

come up with a name and logo for

our new group. See what YOU can

do, you artsy and clever wordsmithy

teen types! Might be a

prize in it for you! Details to follow

soon.

God Bless Us Every One!

Goodbye Fr. Jacek!

 

Fr. Jacek has been appointed Administrator at St. Ladislaus Parish on the Northwest side of Chicago. Their gain is our loss!

 

Fr. Jacek has been at St. Theresa just two years but has accomplished much in that time. He will be especially remembered for his devotion to the Eucharist through his work with Eucharistic Ministers. He also initiated a Mass which is said during the Eucharistic Adoration on the First Friday of the month.

We will miss you, Fr. Jacek!

God bless you in your new assignment!

 

 

The Morning Mass on

Saturday, July 4, will be at 9:00 AM.

 

The Pauline Center & the 

Parish Offices will be closed on Friday, July 3rd &

Saturday, July 4th

in observance of the

        Independence Day holiday.

 

Have a Safe & Sane Fourth!
