Saint Theresa Parish

Adult Education Formation Series

This week we will listen to a very special talk on the Nicene Creed. Different Bishops will break the Creed down into sections and explain what those words mean and why they were put into the Creed. Discover how the Holy Spirit led those early Church leaders to develop and put together words that we recite without really thinking about what they mean. The group meets from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening in the Little Flower Social Hall. Light snacks are provided. Contact Brian Wayne at (717) 215-0429 with any questions.

Charismatic Mass for Healing

On Tuesday, June 2, at 7:00 p.m. there will be a Charismatic Mass with prayers for healing at Saint Theresa of the Infant Jesus Church. Reverend William Weary, Retired, will be the celebrant.
