Seniors/Retirees

Our mission is to provide fellowship and fun for the seniors & retirees of the parish.

All are invited and welcome to join us on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, September to May, in the parish hall at 11:30 a.m. Contact Gina Schmidt at 240-381-4871 or gschmidt259@gmail.com

Sister to Sister

Open to all women of our parish no matter what age or season in life. We are never too young or too old to grow in our faith and relationship with God. As baptized Catholics we are sisters in God’s family. We also share the same spiritual Mother, The Blessed Virgin Mary. Our goal is to provide the opportunity to share uplifting content, nourishment for our souls, favorite scriptures, and opportunities to learn more about one another as sisters in Christ. To learn more, visit our website here or contact us at SisterToSisterStTheresa@gmail.com.

Vine of Joy

An avenue of communication and inspiration for women who are in the “younger season” of their lives. Defining “Younger” is a bit of a challenge. Women of all ages share many things in common. However, this group is designed for women from ages twenty-something to mid-forty-something, single, married, divorced, with or without children. A vine is a symbol of life, of growth, connectedness, service, and in a spiritual way, dependency, dependency on our Lord. “Vine of Joy” describes women who are striving to grow in their faith, sharing their faith through connecting with other women, serving one another through friendship, and accomplishing this through the spiritual gift of Joy.
