EASTER MessAGE fROM fATHER gALLANT
MASKS ENCOURAGED: As the number of new daily COVID cases increases and concern over the emerging Omicron grows, we are reminded of the need to provide as safe and environment for worship as possible for our faithful parishioners. The Diocese of Fall River continues to strongly encourage all parishioners to wear a mask while attending Mass or any other liturgical celebration unless unable because of medical condition or under the age of 2. The recent surge in virus transmission in many places is a clear indication that the pandemic has not passed, and continued vigilance is required. Please keep in mind the need for a collective commitment to the overall good of the parish community.

If you can not attend Mass in person, you can find Fall River Diocese Television Mass on Sundays at 11am on WLNE-TV, ABC Channel 6, New Bedford-Providence or click the picture (link) on the left to view online.
Synod is a Greek word (synodos) meaning a meeting or assembly. With the opening of this Synod in October 2021, Pope Francis has called the entire People of God to journey together. This Synod is to be a process of journeying together by listening, dialoguing, praying, discerning and making decisions together for the purpose of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Specifically, Pope Francis is asking each local diocese to gather – clergy, religious and laity together- to listen to each other in a discussion on the state of the Church. It is a journey that follows in the wake of the Church’s renewal as proposed by the Second Vatican Council. Its long-term goal is to reorient the local Church toward an inherent synodal attitude in decision-making processes through communion, participation, and mission.

We, at St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Parish, strive to imitate the example of our patroness in the "little ways" of serving God by serving one another. St. Theresa's is centered in prayer and the sacramental life of the Catholic Church, especially the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Our mission is summed up in the Commandment of Christ:
