We remember the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today.
This is a photo of STS class of 2018 visiting the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, where many details of Dr. King's life were shared.

Lord God of heaven and earth, you revealed your only-begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star.
Bless this house and all who inhabit it.
Fill us with the light of Christ, that our concern for others may reflect your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Bendice, oh Señor, Dios todopoderoso, esta casa: para que haya en ella salud, castidad, la fuerza de la victoria, humildad, bondad y mansedumbre, la plenitud de la ley y acción de gracias a Dios Padre, a Dios Hijo y a Dios Espíritu Santo; y que esta bendición permanezca sobre esta casa y sobre sus moradores.
Por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.

First day back, and we were happy to see each other! A spontaneous Fr. Stephen visit was perfect!

We are excited to see you all tomorrow!
It's normal to have all sorts of emotions when Christmas Break comes to an end. We'll be ready with a high five and a smile.
See you in the morning!

"And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart."
This verse, Luke 2:19, is my favorite Bible verse, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share it today, as it appears in the gospel for the Feast of Mary, Mother of God on January 1.
God is at work in all of our lives, and yet I will be the first to admit that I don't always recognize Him and what He is doing in my life. Usually, it's because I feel busy or stressed. However, in looking at the example of Mary, I am reminded that she had plenty to feel busy or stressed about, but she always, always, stayed close to God in prayer.
God is at work in and through us, here, at St. Theresa Catholic Church and School. It is a community of the best people I could ever hope to meet. Humble, hard-working, and devoted to the Lord. As we enter 2026, I am grateful for the Lord's call to work and minister here, and I pray that we all are inspired by Mary's example, reflecting on all the revelations and gifts of the Lord in our hearts.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
Saint Theresa, pray for us!
Sincerely in Christ,
Kristy Dunn
"Y Mary guardó todas estas cosas, reflexionando sobre ellas en su corazón".
Este versículo, Lucas 2:19, es mi versículo bíblico favorito, y estoy agradecido por la oportunidad de compartirlo hoy, ya que aparece en el evangelio para la Fiesta de María, Madre de Dios, el 1 de enero.
Dios está trabajando en todas nuestras vidas y, sin embargo, seré el primero en admitir que no siempre lo reconozco y lo que está haciendo en mi vida. Por lo general, es porque me siento ocupado o estresado. Sin embargo, al mirar el ejemplo de María, recuerdo que tenía mucho por lo que sentirse ocupada o estresada, pero siempre, siempre, se mantuvo cerca de Dios en oración.
Dios está trabajando en y a través de nosotros, aquí, en St. Iglesia y Escuela Católica de Teresa. Es una comunidad de las mejores personas que podría haber esperado conocer. Humilde, trabajador y dedicado al Señor. Al entrar en 2026, estoy agradecido por el llamado del Señor a trabajar y ministrar aquí, y rezo para que todos estemos inspirados por el ejemplo de María, reflexionando sobre todas las revelaciones y dones del Señor en nuestros corazones.
¡María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros!
¡Santa Teresa, reza por nosotros!
Sinceramente en Cristo,
Kristy Dunn


Hey! Just a reminder it's still the Christmas season in the Catholic Church!
Merry Christmas!
¡Feliz Navidad!

"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21-22

Our pastorela was just perfect, telling the story of the battle between good and evil that we all experience in our humanity. But it also reminded us of our ultimate Savior, the One we await - Jesus.
In our humble homes like His humble stable.
Trying to follow the light of our guiding star.
Thank you to everyone who could be with us today. We will let you know when we post the video to YouTube!

We have one more day of school and then we will celebrate the birth of Christ with our families!
We hope your families will join us at one of Christmas masses! Please see the schedules for Christmas as well as masses that are canceled on the 23rd and 26th.
Also, the children's live nativity will be BEFORE the 4:00 pm Christmas mass, starting at 3:45.


Our evening program, "Let's Learn Together About God," celebrated Christmas in various cultural attire and with a yummy, diverse Christmas dinner!




So many happy faces because it's tamale day for lunch!




This Friday! 9:30 am!
All the kids participate in either the play or song!
Families, parishioners, friends - all are invited!
