Parish Library
Vision Statement:
The Ministry of the Parish Library is to be a source for the development and enrichment of the St Therese family through a selection of inspiring resources that promote and cultivate a living, fruitful faith within the Catholic tradition.
The Library will provide books, and other materials, appealing to all ages that will help develop a more knowledgeable understanding of the history and practice of the Catholic faith and the people within it. Periodically, as an introduction to readers, reviews of selected books appear in the St. Therese bulletin.
This ministry encourages circulation of library materials by making access to the library readily available to the parish family, permitting many titles to be retained as long as required to meet individual needs.
