Triduum

As we enter the Easter Triduum, I would like to share some links for online resources.

The Triduum will be celebrated with private Masses and the Celebration of the Lord's Passion by our priests and Deacon here at St Therese. We are hoping to be able to live-streamed Easter Sunday Mass. I will share more info as soon as I can.

Links to all Holy Week live-streamed celebrations at Holy Name Cathedral.

Faith at Home

These are challenging and difficult time. Sadly all Masses and activities have been suspended throughout the diocese.  It has been so strange to not be able to come and worship in our beautiful church, but we can still have a Domestic Church in our home.

What is the Domestic Church?

According to the Second Vatican Council’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church: “The family, is so to speak, the domestic church.” (Lumen Gentium #11) This means that it is in the context of the family that we first learn who God is and to prayerfully seek His will for us. 

In the next week, I will be using this place to give you tools to build your Domestic Church.

I am very excited to share this fabulous opportunity to learn and be inspired.

Our parish has a received a complimentary access to FORMED for 40 days! That's right it's FREE!
