Deposit Deadline April 30, 2013

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

I am delighted to announce a parish pilgrimage to Italy during the Year of Faith! In response to the Holy Father’s call to consider a pilgrimage to the See of Peter, our parish family will set out to renew, deepen, and share our faith. I hope you will consider joining us, November 17 – 26, 2013.

While in Rome, our pilgrimage will take us to the sacred sites of our Catholic faith, including the Sistine Chapel, and the Basilicas of Christian Rome. We will also take in the historic venues of ancient Rome, including the Roman Forum. We will celebrate Liturgies and have the opportunity to attend the general audience of our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.

You will journey to and pray at the same locations where St. Anthony, St. Francis, St. Clare, and many others before us came closer to God. Visiting Assisi and Orvieto will round out what promises to be an enriching and unfor- gettable experience.

Please join us as we retrace the steps in the lives of St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Francis, St. Clare, St. Mark, St. Anthony, the ancient Romans, the popes throughout history, and the multitude of others who have come to see and pray in the Eternal City. I hope you will consider this most special gift to yourself and join us as we walk in the footsteps of those to whom we now pray.

Sincerely,

Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds
Pastor, St. Theresa Parish

Dates are not necessary. This is just an opportunity to have a good meal and a good time.

Is Date Night for couples or for singles?
Both. Date Night is for adults. We just call it Date Night, because it is a chance for people to get out of the house and have a good time.

Is Date Night only for Catholics?
No. We are going to be experiencing the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith, but this is open to anybody who is open to it.

Is Date Night only for St. Theresa Parishioners?

The video is from the second stop on our trip. After visiting the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower in San Antonio, we were able to spend time at this beautiful painted church. We had a large crowd of over 300 pilgrims and we took 6 buses. There are still a few more places we plan on going during this year of faith and we hope you can join us on our next trip.
