I don’t know if you’ve noticed the tulips peeking out of the ground or the birds beginning to chirp in the morning, but spring is around the corner, and with that comes Mother’s Day! Mother’s Day is such a wonderful opportunity to express gratitude for the amazing women who brought us into the world and nurtured us with unconditional love. It is also a wonderful way to recognize all of the women in our lives who have supported, mentored, or shared a special bond with us over the years.
This year, St. Therese of Lisieux’s Health Ministry will host our second Mother’s Day “Tea for Thee” on Tuesday, May 6, from 5:30 to 8 PM in honor of the women in our lives. What better way to cherish the significant roles of mothers and women than by sharing a cup of tea (and food!) with other women and experiencing that warmth and connection? Our theme for this year’s event is “Body, Mind, and Spirit Connection,” and we will focus on the importance of self-care for our well-being as women. Our keynote speaker will be our own St. Therese Health Ministry member, Theresa Emch, NP, RN, who will talk about the importance of taking care of ourselves—just like we take care of others. Think about the many women who take care of their spouses or partners, parents, children, or other people in their lives in addition to themselves! We are also blessed to have Health Ministry members who will share additional tips on how to stay healthy.
In addition to sharing tea, we will also share wonderful memories of our mothers, sisters, grandmothers, friends, and any of the special women in our lives over the years. So, come prepared with great stories about why these women were so special!
All women are welcome at this celebratory tea event, and we hope you can join us! Seating will be limited to 150. Tickets are $20 and will be available in the parish office starting Tuesday, Apr. 14. A seating chart will also be available for you to indicate the table/people you would like to sit with. If you are a vegetarian, please also indicate so when reserving your seat.
If you have any questions, please contact Marilyn Cito, Parish Nurse, at 586-254-4433 Ext. 320 or via email at Marilync@stol.church. Usual workdays are Tuesdays and Thursdays, but you can always leave a message.
God Bless, and we hope to see you there!
