Saint Therese Parish and Catholic School bids a hearty welcome to the Ministerial Team. Deacon Larry has been our Parish Administrator for the past year and a half. He comes qualified as a Certified Public Accountant and has brought much expertise to the Financial Administration of our Parish. On 19 November 2024, Archbishop Wester also assigned Deacon Larry to the Diaconal Ministry of our Parish and Catholic School as well. Deacon Larry's and Corinne’s recent parish and assignment has been to our sisters and brothers at Saint Francis Xavier Parish on South Broadway. They have also been most active with our sisters and brothers in the East Mountains in the Parish of Holy Child. I have an aunt and uncle at Holy Child Parish who highly regard both of them as friends. Welcome Corinne and Larry…we are so grateful for your own holy presence among us.
