Worship Schedule

Dear friends in the Lord, We had such an amazing time last weekend at our Picnic in the Park. Even though it was pouring in the morning, the rain stopped just in time for the Mass and picnic. Many thanks to all of you who came out ? what a tremendous witness it was to the city. In a special way, I also want to thank Heather and Russ Donofry and the 70 volunteers who helped to make it possible. Truly, you are the hands and feet of the Lord. God is so good and He continues to work so deeply in our community. I can't wait for next year! Next weekend is the men's retreat "Welcome. CRHP 2.0". If there are any men who have not yet been through the retreat, I want to encourage you to take the plunge and encounter Jesus and one another. It is such a great way to connect with the Lord and with other men from the community. For everyone else, I would ask that you keep the team and participants in your prayers. Pray to the Holy Spirit that each person will encounter Jesus in a life-changing way. Prayer is very powerful and I know our heavenly Father has so much in store for our community.

Stewardship

Tithing

As individuals we are called to be good and generous stewards with God's manifold gifts. Tithing is the means whereby we have the opportunity to give thanks to God; with that in mind, the community of St. Teresa of Avila tithes $450 weekly.

This week our tithing will be donated to St. Agnes Adult Day Care Center.

Faith and the search for God will be our topic this Wednesday evening, at 7:00pm, in the Antioch Room, as we delve into the specifics of Catholicism on our journey of faith. If you feel that God is calling you to the Catholic Church, there is still time to join us on this year's trek. For more information, contact Mark by phone or text at 219-688-4756, or email at saintt.rcia@. God bless!

Do you have a family member or friend who struggles with mental health challenges? St. Teresa of Avila is now offering a NAMI Family Support Group. A free, confidential and safe support group of families helping other families who live with mental health challenges will be offered each month led by trained facilitators. These facilitators are not therapists, but individuals trained to help offer understanding, emotional support, education and awareness to others through their own lived experience. This support group is for family members, friends, care givers and loved ones of those who suffer with a serious mental health challenge. Meetings will be held on the first Monday of every month at 7:00 PM in Avila Hall (entrance located at 1604 East Lincolnway).
