The Parish Life Ministry is responsible for organizing and overseeing activities to foster a sense of belonging among the members of our parish community.
Below is a description of the various Parish Life Ministries:
Journey of Hope—Divorced Ministry
This program addresses the concerns of divorced/separated Catholics by offering support and addressing issues that arise as a result of divorce. The strong emphasis on prayer, scripture, and church teachings leads to healing and a better relationship with Christ. This is not a therapy group, but is guided by trained, peer facilitators who have similar life experiences and are willing to share their time and talent to help others. Registration and class times will be listed in the Weekly Bulletin.

Knights of Columbus—Terence Cardinal Cooke Council #8495
The K of C is a Catholic men’s fraternal society that promotes social and intellectual fellowship among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief, and public works. Volunteerism informed by Christian concern is the hallmark of the K of C. Many of the activities are designed to raise money for charitable organizations in the local area. Any K of C member in good standing is invited to join our meetings on the second Monday of each month from 7:00-9:00 pm in the Parish Life Annex.
Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary
The K of C Ladies Auxiliary was formed to assist the Knights of Columbus Council #8495 in their mission to support St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church and its pastor, people, and programs. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted, mutual aid and assistance are offered to their sick, disabled, and needy members. We meet on the second Monday of each month from 7:00-9:00 pm in the Parish Life Annex.
Newcomers
Ministry members are dedicated to welcoming our new parishioners into the parish faith family through periodic telephone calls, and newcomer gatherings held several times a year after the 12:15 pm Sunday Mass.

Members are asked to bring a covered dish for the potluck lunch and may also bring a guest.

Soup and Sandwiches
This ministry coordinates the free light meal of soup and sandwiches following the Stations of the Cross on Friday evenings during Lent in the Parish Life Center. Parish Council ministries rotate providing a variety of soups and sandwiches as well as serving them. The evening offers opportunities for spiritual reflection as well as for fellowship with other parish families.

Our mission is to promote Catholic unity with social, service, and spiritual activities both at the parish and community level through sacramental programs, guest speakers, addressing national and international concerns, crafts and demonstrations, social time, and fund raisers to support designated charitable causes. All ladies registered at St. Teresa’s are invited to join the CCW. Meetings are held on the 2nd Sunday of each month, September through May at 2:00 pm in the Education Building.
