The Parish Family Advisory Council is inviting you to attend one of the Synodal Listening Sessions in January.

YOU are needed! Please "Come to the Table" to share what you see as the obstacles and challenges our parish family faces today. This will be an opportunity for parishioners from St. Theresa and St. Vincent to come together and be heard. Refreshments and light fare will be served at each session. Childcare will be available during each session (limit of 12 children per session at St. Vincent's).
