Holy Name Society

The St. Therese Holy Name Society promotes Catholic action among the men of the parish, and instills in them the desire to exemplify the teachings of Christ through His Church, thus paying honor to His Holy Name.  The members serve the pastor and the parish in whatever capacity they are called upon.

All men of the parish are members of this organization.  Active members are those who attend the monthly meetings and participate in the projects sponsored by the Society. Inactive membership includes all other men of the parish who are unable to take part in the activities of the organization.

Meetings are open to all men of the parish and are held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 8 pm in Church Undercroft.

The St. Therese Holy Name Society began in 19?? and has sponsored many activities over the years, including the Men's Stag,  Boy Scout Troop 751 and Cub Scout Pack 751, and scholarships to St. Therese 8th grade students attending Catholic High Schools.
