August, 2021, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, displacing many families. Some of these families are making a new home in the Boston area and they are being supported by the Archdiocese of Boston and Catholic Charities.
St. Theresa Parish wants to help! If you would like to participate, during the month of February, drop off gift cards to stores (recommended below) in the second slot in the offertory boxes (located at the doors of the church). Or, they can be dropped off at the parish office. (Mailing is not recommended.)
Recommended stores (based on what is nearby the families): Stop & Shop, Kohl's, Marshall's, CVS.
Thank you for your support!

Healing Mass

All-day adoration, every Friday in the chapel, from 10 AM to 8 PM.
Part of all-day adoration is to assure someone is always present with Christ. We have a sign-up for people to take an hour monthly, or as much as they can commit, to be with the Blessed Sacrament. We are looking for additional people to commit to coming to adoration. Ideally, we would like to have two people present with our Lord. If you would like to spend an hour with Jesus, call the parish office and talk to Teri, or email her at info@sttheresanreading.org. Everyone is invited to Friday adoration at any time—even if you aren’t signed up. We encourage you to stop by sometime and try spending an hour with Christ.

Congratulations to our Grade 2 students, who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on two Saturdays this month. It’s hard to believe how fast our Faith Formation year is going. It’s hard to believe that their First Communions are only three short months away!
