Love Beads
St Therese said: Do small things with great love. To offer everyday love in small ways. In the narthex of the church, there is a board with St. Therese of Lisieux love beads hanging from it. Take one and try Therese’s Little Way.
There are ten beads. A Crucifix is on one end and a Miraculous Medal of Mary on the other. Each bead represents the opportunities given each day to love like Jesus. Carry the beads in your pocket. When you choose to react with love to something in your day, move one of the beads toward the Crucifix. The beads are made in such a way that when you move one, it stays in place. At the end of the day, sit in oneness with God. Look at the beads and reflect on how love manifested itself in you. More than anything else God wants you to know Him and His love for you. This is a humble way to bring God into your everyday life.

Restoration - Statue of St. Therese of Lisieux
Parishioner Hannah Zoucha is responsible for the restoration of the St. Therese of Lisieux statue, located in the Religious Education office foyer. Hannah is the wife of Douglas and mother of Joseph, Andrew, and Thaddeus. Prior to discovering her vocation of marriage, she had the joy of discerning a religious vocation with the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart, of Los Angeles for six years - (without having taken permanent vows). My Carmelite family will always be dear to her heart - as will Carmel and its charism and inspiring saints. Painting on canvas, painting clay model churches, as well as other creative projects has been Hannah's enjoyable pastime over the years. Now that her sons are grown, she had been praying that God will guide her to do His will and to find new avenues of creativity and service. Enter the opportunity, with God’s help and that of St. Therese, to return the lovely statue of St. Therese of the Child Jesus back to her Carmelite simplicity and beauty, and perhaps thereby to have uncovered another potential future hobby and possible talent as well. Come see what a beautiful job she did!
