The St. Therese, the Little Flower, Rosary and Prayer Ministry of St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Mountain Lakes held a prayer service and presentation with Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney to honor the feast days of two saints — St. Therese and St. Michael the Archangel — on Sept. 29 in the parish church. The event featured music and included the Knights of Columbus.
The St. Therese Ministry meets in St. Catherine Church on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. from May to December. Members pray the Novena to St. Therese, a prayer for the nation, the Memorare, and the rosary.
The St. Therese Shrine is now open year round and a mile past the Church. Visitors can light a candle. See listing of shrines in the Paterson Diocese on pages 2–3. (Information: call Carol Bsarany 973-271-9252.)
