NOTICE: It was decided that both St. Boniface gym and Elgin Public School gym will not be allowed for public use until further notice (little girl volleyball practice, town team volleyball, geezer league, etc). This will limit the amount of use and people in and out until we are able to re-evaluate how well COVID is being managed for the safety of our own students who will be using the facilities.

Dear St. Theresa’s Sodality Member, On the recommendation of Fr. John, sodality officers have made the decision to cancel the annual St. Theresa’s

Catholic Church’s Breakfast for 2020. Normally held in September, the event has been cancelled due to Covid. Please note that the sodality still needs to fundraise, as this event normally helps fund several expenses, such as monthly church cleaning, flowers for altar during holidays, updating decorations, archdiocese dues & scholarships, etc. In lien of the breakfast, the sodality officers made the decision to recommend a $50 dues per sodality member/household for 2020. This amount factors in the regular donated amount that usually comes from bake sale and raffle ticket sales. If sodality members would like to donate more to equal amounts usually donated for this event, including purchase of bake sale items, freewill donation for breakfast, purchase of raffle items, etc., please feel free to include at this time. Sodality officers request that dues/donations be made by September 20, 2020, and that checks be written to St. Theresa’s Sodality. They can be put in the attached envelope and mailed or be placed in the basket in the church foyer marked “Sodality Dues”.

“For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:8)

This is the essence of stewardship – everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God. We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts that God has given us, especially our very own lives. Pray to God daily and ask Him how He is calling you to live the life that He intended for you. SS.
