St Therese Parish joins the Sanford High School community in grieving the loss of Jony Hunter. We offer our prayers for Jony and for his family, and for all those who have been touched by this tragic and premature death. If you are feeling overwhelmed, frightened, or are having thoughts of harming yourself, call the suicide hotline at 988, where someone is available 24 hours a day.

In case you haven't noticed... our office is under construction! New this week- we are getting a roof and replacement windows. This is great news because it's wonderful progress for our capital campaign and moving towards the building of our new hall. However, it means that our office is closed for the time being. Please do not attempt to come into the building at this time. Should you have business that requires a visit to the office, please the office FIRST and we will arrange a location or time that it is safe to meet. Thank you for your understanding while we navigate through this together!

We have some very exciting news to announce!! In September we will be hosting our very own SEEK Retreat and our keynote speaker will be Bishop James Ruggieri! If you remember, SEEK25 is the conference we sent 6 of our parishioners to in Salt Lake City this past January. Focus Ministries, who runs SEEK, has come out with a parish version, called SEEK Local. We have adapted that to fit our parish and our SEEK-ers are very excited to bring it to all of you this September. While we are still ironing out some details, we would like to open up pre-registration to St. Therese and St. Matthew only. If you are interested in attending, please fill out the following form: https://forms.microsoft.com/r/r8jsVuU7At More details to come!

Due to the rainy forecast, we will postpone our Lenten Luminary service to Sunday, March 23 at 7:30p. We are expecting clear skies that night! Hope to see you then!

Please help us spread the word!
