Nov 9 - 20, 2026

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids. The wise bridesmaids were ready when the bridegroom arrived. Their example invites us to stay attentive to what matters and to make room for God in our everyday lives through kindness, prayer, and care for one another.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for parent-teacher interviews. It was a pleasure to celebrate our students’ learning and growth with you. Your partnership helps us support each student as they continue to learn and flourish.

With November break beginning next week, we hope you have a chance to slow down, enjoy time together, and return refreshed. Wishing all our families a safe and restful break.

The St. Theresa Parent Advisory Council performs many vital functions for our school community, by helping to facilitate school wide student functions and providing valuable funding to our school via fundraising. Parents involved in the PAC learn about planning and development within the school and are part of the planning process. These roles make their involvement very important to the families, administration and teachers.
