Light refreshments will follow the Mass in the parish center. All are invited.
The parish, celebrating its tenth year anniversary, recently changed its name in preparation of the impending canonization.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta was canonized on September 4th by Pope Francis. Shortly after she died in 1997, Pope John Paul II waived the usual five year waiting period and allowed the opening of the process to declare her a saint. She was beatified in 2003.
