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!

We will miss you, Fr. Jacek!
God bless you in your new assignment!

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