St. Therese Little Flower Senior Center is collecting new and gently used shoes of all sizes. Please make sure that each pair donated is individually bagged or otherwise connected so the pairs don’t get separated. Shoes can be left in the basket in the narthex or delivered to St. Therese, 58th & Euclid Ave. Deadline 6/18.
During the summer months, the parish office is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The office is closed on Fridays through June and July. Please reach out to the staff if you need anything, and watch email, the church bulletin, and social media for the latest.
If you have been in the Church recently, particularly when it is raining, you have no doubt noticed there is a leak in the roof on the west side that drips through the ceiling into the church. That area has been a trouble spot for some time, and while we have tried various measures, it has become apparent that a long-term solution will involve rather extensive repairs to both the roof and church ceiling. Please know that we are aware of this issue, we are working with roofing professionals to address it correctly, and we will keep you updated when we have more information about next steps.
