Christmas Mass Schedule

Christmas Eve Masses

1:00pm, 2:30pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm, 8:00pm, 10:00pm

Christmas Day Masses

10:00am, 12:00pm (Spanish)

All Masses will be in the church (there will be no double Masses).
Our Masses have limited capacity to allow for proper social distancing. The limit for inside the church building (nave and narthex) is 450.
When we have reached 450, no one else will be admitted inside, however, you are welcome to stay outside and we will make sure that you receive Holy Communion if you desire to.
All are required to wear a cloth face covering in all public indoor settings.
We have eight scheduled Masses (7 in English). Those attending will have a better chance of celebrating inside if a potentially less attended Mass is targeted and you arrive early (we anticipate the 1:00pm, 2:30pm and 4:00pm Masses on Christmas Eve will be the most well attended).
All Masses will be streamed LIVE from our church website.
December 24 2:30pm and 6:00pm and December 25 12:00pm (Spanish) Masses will also be streamed LIVE to YouTube and Facebook.

**Please note that the Faithful of the Diocese of Charlotte continue to be dispensed from their Sunday obligation.**

Remember your face covering when attending Mass. If you do not have one, free masks are available in the Narthex!

Mass updates will be posted on the website: sainttherese.net/mass-schedule

Wishing you all a Blessed Christmas and a Joyous New Year!

The Parish and Faith Formation Offices will be closed from Wednesday, December 23 through Monday, December 28.

End of Year Giving

End of Year Giving:

Just a reminder for those discerning an end of year donation…you may fulfill your pledge for the Diocesan Support Appeal or contribute to our Christmas Second Collection for “Priests’ Retirement Collection Shortfall/Facilities”. As we have done the past few years, this Christmas Second Collection will be applied first to fulfill our Assessment for the Retired Priests; then any amount we receive over our assessment will be applied to Facility Maintenance. Some parishioners may also want to make a donation for debt reduction for the debt of the Sunfish Drive property, or make an additional contribution for our General Offertory for Operational Expenses. Many thanks for your generosity!
