THE CRÈCHE: Each year at Saint Theresa’s we are reminded of the wonderful gift made to us by Father Raymond Helmick, SJ in the form of the Christmas Crib. You will notice that the stable is set in among classical columns and broken stumps of columns. This is an old tradition that you will see in a variety of ways, in a great number of the Renaissance paintings of the Birth of Christ. The manger is set in the ruins of the pagan temple. The symbolism: the new life of Christ enters into and redeems a world corrupted by the pagan values that have fallen and decayed.

DAILY MASS will be celebrated in the Main Church from Christmas until the Feast of the Epiphany.

CHRISTMAS FLOWERS
We thank everyone who contributed to the Christmas Flower Collection. All those in whose honor or in whose memory the donations were made, will be remembered at the Masses of the Christmas Season.
