STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO GIVE SOME PEOPLE FOR CHRISTMAS?

 HOW ABOUT A NICE DONATION TO THE NEW ST. THERESA FAMILY LIFE CENTER IN THEIR HONOR? 

I'll be glad to send a personal note acknowledging your gift on one of our logo cards to anyone you want to honor. Just tell me who you want to honor, how you want to honor them, where to send the card and who is making the gift. To speed up the process, simply e-mail me, text me or call me. I'll get right on it! My contact information is listed at the bottom of this page.

A CHANCE TO EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE

A total of 97 Sisters of Charity served the Saint Theresa Community over 123 years. No, they were not all perfect! Yes, some of them were saints! Saints or not, every one of them gave their lives in service to our historic community! 

Think about the conditions they lived in, all the work they were asked to do and how little they were paid! We were certainly blessed to have had them as long as we did! 

Let's honor  their dedication to us by making a generous family donation this Christmas to help complete our new project which will enable us to carry on their work long after they are gone. What better way to show our appreciation, and to invest in the the health of today's families, than to insure that their work will be carried on for years to come! 

If you know friends who might be interested in this project, feel free to re-post this on your  FACE BOOK page, forward it to them by e-mail or print it off and mail it to them. Getting the word out is one of the most important steps to insure the success of this renewal project!

To Get the Job Done We Need All Hands on Deck


Our new Saint Theresa Family Life Center is about to go into a critical second stage. Phase One (the outside) is basically finished and paid for and the plans for Phase Two (the inside) will be ready to go to construction soon, but we do not have all the funds needed. The Archdiocese will not give its approval to proceed until we have the funds in hand.

We need some large, medium and small donors. Consider donating personally and, if you cannot donate much, ask others you know with, or without, connections to St. Theresa to help us out. Try pooling your gifts with your extended family to “adopt” part of the project as a group. If your family is not that big, partner with other families to whom you are related. Usually, all it takes is for a couple of people to lead the process of contacting and asking the others.

I have done, and will continue to do, my part. Help us out here by doing your part in talking it up and doing as much asking as you can until we reach our goal. We have had a marvelous start. The families of this community need what our new Saint Theresa Family Life Center will be offering. Let’s all get behind protecting our rich history and securing its future. Yes, we can do this!
