New Logo and Mission Statement for�

SSSStttt. . . . TTTThereseheresehereseherese Catholic Church�

We are excited to announce the new branding for St. Therese that includes both a

new logo and an updated mission statement.�

At the same �me, our Pastoral Council worked on a new mission statement. It

was very important for us to capture the history of St. Therese as well as the

direc�on in which we desire to move forward.�

The parish of St. Therese, rooted in Igna�an Spirituality, strives to �Love God, Follow Jesus and Serve All �

by doing ordinary things with great love.��

You will soon start to see both the new logo and mission statement throughout

the Church and on the bulle�n, the parish website, and addi�onal Church

communica�ons.��

Thank you to all who had input and worked on this project.��

Tracy Neumann, Pastoral Council Chair�

Over the past year, we

have been working to

create a branded look for

the Church. We have

incorporated the most

recent logo (heart, rose

and rosary) with the new

emblem that is used on

our new exterior signage.�
