We invite you to join us for Masses during Holy Week 2025!

Latin for “darkness,” Tenebrae is a service particular to Holy Week. A seven-candle, triangular candelabra called a “hearse” is uniquely used, with one candle representing Jesus and the rest of his followers. After each candle is extinguished in the hearse, nine readings are proclaimed, symbolizing Jesus’s followers abandoning him one by one. In the end, just the candle symbolic of Christ is left burning and then is hidden. The service ends with a “strepitus” or “loud noise” traditionally made by slamming a book shut, stomping on the floor, or, in more contemporary services, musical instruments, symbolizing the earthquake that followed Christ’s death. This takes place in total darkness. At the end, the hidden candle is returned, representative of the light of Christ returning to the world. Join us for this beautiful experience at St. Theresa!

Experience God's transformative power with a 2-night family-friendly event, featuring Chris Bartlett (Ablaze Ministries) with musician and presenter Kevin Kapchinski. Both are gifted in making the faith come alive in practical ways.

The Jubilee Holy Year, declared by Pope Francis, is a time when God’s boundless forgiveness is offered through the granting of a plenary indulgence, which removes the temporal punishment due for one's sins. To receive an indulgence, the following methods, along with the four essential conditions, can be followed: Visit and pray at a pilgrimage site Perform acts of mercy or penance Recite specific prayers (for those unable to participate in pilgrimage due to being homebound) Additionally, you can travel to Rome and pass through the Holy Doors to receive an indulgence. For more details, read the article "Vatican norms for Jubilee indulgence include pilgrimage, penance, service" from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

How does a Trinity House Community Group work? Organized by a core team of parents and grandparents who collaborate with parish staff, families gather five times per year, usually on Saturday evenings every other month during the school year. After an early dinner and fellowship, volunteers engage kids with faith-based crafts, videos, or games while parents enjoy a short video and connect with each other during table discussions. Then, families reconvene for fellowship and dessert, while those with earlier bedtimes head home.

We'll kick off the Catalyst year at a happy hour on THUR, SEPT 5 at 5280 Burger (7032 Wood Hollow Drive). Catalyst will buy all the food and you buy your drinks. We're so back!
