Do you have photos with Fr. Phil or a favorite memory or quote? We are making a memory book for Fr. Phil as a gift celebrating his retirement after 18 years at St. Theresa! Please submit your photo, story or quote for possible inclusion in the book to pto@sttheresa.cc. Feel free to include names of people in the photo and graduating years (ex. Ann Schroder, Class of ‘24) for memories and quotes you can include your name or elect to remain Anonymous. Not all submissions are guaranteed inclusion in the book but we will do our best!

Please share with STCS alumni families! We hope to have memories from Fr. Phil’s entire time at STCS! And he joined in 2006 way before any of our current 8th graders would have started.
