Saint Therese Parish, St. Catherine and St. Mary’s are working to bring our Parish’s youth together. We want to extend this message to our parents and encourage our youth to be a part of this exciting program.
Spiritual Gifts Program
At St. Therese we are committed to helping you grow spiritually. We have a unique opportunity to help you discover your spiritual gifts and find God’s calling for your life.
What are Spiritual Gifts? Spiritual gifts are empowerment of God’s people for God’s work. Each Christian has at least one unique spiritual gift waiting to be discovered. God has designed the church so people can find deep meaning and experience powerful joy when they use their gifts to minister to others.
What is God’s Will for Your Life? By learning about your spiritual gifts, you can recognize your deepest passions and wield the capabilities you have been given. The church is Christ’s body and is most fully alive when we affirm each person’s spiritual gifts and encourage each other to use them.

DIABETES: Part I – The Types and Causes
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (sugar), which can lead to serious health complications if not properly managed. The disease is broadly classified into three main types: Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. Each type affects the body’s ability to either produce or to use insulin, a hormone crucial for regulating blood sugar levels.

Archbishop’s Annual Appeal
This year the Archbishop's Annual Appeal is more critical than ever! State and Federal resources have become more and more limited. Across the Archdiocese of Hartford more people need our help. If you have yet to make a donation, please consider doing so. YOUR DOLLARS COME BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE MINISTRIES THAT OUR PARISH SUPPORTS. It’s not too late. Your contribution will provide funds to four local ministries: Granby Food for Waste Not Want; St. Clare Poor Community; Pregnancy Recourse Center; etc. If you have not done so, please make a contribution to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Please be aware that the more that our parish gives to the Appeal, the more dollars these ministries receive.
