Hello Families! This Friday the children will be learning about Saint John Paul II and doing a abacus decade rosary icon. Carolyn will be reading a short book about the life of Saint JPII.
For the craft, we are in need some silver thumb tacks and yellow or gold pipe cleaners. I purchased the other items and I’m trying to keep cost low so if you have extras please let me know ASAP. Please bring a old shirt or a smock as the children will be painting.
It would be helpful to have a head count of children for craft supply reasons so please share how many Children will be participating below.
Also, please share what dish you will be bringing.
One more thing: First Friday in November we will be doing a All Saints Day party so you may want to start thinking about your Children’s costumes.

Aug 10th Parent meeting
Hello families! Just a friendly reminder of our meeting coming up at my residence this August 10th from 10am-12pm. I have had 3 families RSVP. If you plan to be here please post under here and include what potluck dish you plan to bring. Just a friendly reminder that the whole family is welcome. Not only will we be going over the upcoming year including group jobs and activities, but also getting to know each other more! I am thinking the Mom’s can mingle and go over the planning for the year and Dads mingle as well (and supervise their small children if they have them).
Hope to see you there!
Blessings,
Tash
Hope you can join us!
Registrations and email list. Please read!
Families,
If you’d like to opt out of emails please post under here “ opt out” or email Emily or I.
We need to update our registrations/website for 2019-2020 and I noticed many may be getting emails from our group who’ve moved or can no longer attend.
Returning members, to register again for a subsequent year, please note re-registration is not necessary. Just pay the yearly registration fee $20 for St. Teresa’s members and $25 for non-St. Teresa’s members. Brandie Granke is our Treasurer and will need the registration fee by our first meeting September 6th in order to do annual re-sticking purchases. The fee pays for our much needed paper goods/coffee/craft supplies/and donation for the church allowing us to utilize the PLC.
Many Blessings!

March First Friday
For March’s First Friday we will be working with the teens and younger children weaving St Bridget crosses to honor her february Feast Day.
We have a few Months left and still need members who aren’t sure they paid their dues to please pay them on our main website. The Church is very generous to let us rent the facility and we’d like to give them a gift at the end of the year and keep affording disposable eatery/crafts. Please contact Brandie Spencer Granke if you aren’t sure if you paid.
Thinking ahead, next Month in March with Lenten season coming , we will be doing an annual Stations of the Cross. We’d love for your Child(ren) to participate by reading a station of choice.
Please post under here with what you will be bringing to eat this Friday and where you can volunteer.
See you soon!
Blessings
