Thursdays 11AM to Noon, McLaughlin Hall
St. Teresa of Calcutta parish invites moms and their young children to come out on Thursday mornings for play, conversation, support and prayer. We know motherhood can be a happy and stressful time. But it is easier to appreciate the joys and handle the worries when you feel like you are not alone. If you have other ideas about how we can support young mothers but can’t come on Thursdays, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to contact Genevieve Jordan Laskey:

Our patron, St. Teresa of Calcutta, challenges us to touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received. Therefore, the mission of the Social Justice Committee of St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish is to provide parishioners with education in Catholic Social Teachings and opportunities for direct service and actions directed at social change. We hold monthly meetings to plan activities; monthly movies on Sunday afternoons, multiple opportunities to help with social action projects. Join us for the opportunity to get support for implementing your own social justice ideas.
