Peek of the Week

MAY 4-10, 2025
Dear St. Theresa Catholic School Families,
Happy May! As we step into this final full month of the school year, we’re embracing a week filled with beauty, gratitude, and purpose—hallmarks of our vibrant faith community at St. Theresa Catholic School.
We begin with our May Crowning, a beloved tradition where we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven. This special celebration reminds us of Mary's faith, humility, and example of love. We invite all families to join us as our students offer flowers and prayers during this meaningful event.
Next week is also Teacher Appreciation Week, a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible teachers who guide and inspire our students each day. Please join us in showing our gratitude for their dedication, passion, and love for learning. Even a simple note, prayer, or kind word means so much.
Finally, we ask our community to join together in prayer as the Conclave to elect a new pope begins on May 7th. As the cardinals gather in Rome to discern and select the next leader of our Church, let us offer our intentions for the guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout this sacred process.
Thank you for your continued partnership and prayers as we move into this beautiful season of hope and renewal.
Love and Light,
Sarah Fox
Principal
