It’s a new year. Is it time to explore the Catholic faith?

Life Center. You may begin the process at any time during the year.
Free babysitting is available upon request. Bring your spouse or friend, if you’d like. These informal gatherings
are structured to answer your questions about the Catholic Church. The RCIA
team is ready to walk your journey of faith with you.
Contact Lynda Knoche at
281-450-1400 or by e-mail: [email protected].
If you, your child or someone you

from harsh words and hurt feelings. Assist us to encourage one another’s strengths
and abilities. Lead us to mutual understanding and support.
May we always forgive each other’s failings and rejoice in one
another’s successes.

another, now and always. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Theresa Parish is forming a corps of volunteers to assist with maintaining the
cleanliness and appearance of the sacristies, confessionals, narthex/foyer, and chapel/
sanctuary. We hope to operate as five teams, with one team working every Saturday of each
month. The teams will also assist the parish priests with any needs they may have as well as various parish projects on an as-needed basis.
HOW TO JOIN
All members are required to complete the archdiocesan Safe Environment training
program (VIRTUS) and be cleared with the parish office. No other experience or
education is necessary – we provide all other required training.
