Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
MOORESVILLE — Volunteers at St. Therese Church recently had the honor of holding their second annual “First Responder Appreciation Week.”
Many of the parish’s ministries participated during the week of May 24 to make sure that local first responders had a place to grab a meal and take a break. First responders were treated to breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
Although theirs may sometimes be a thankless job, local firefighters, police officers, sheriff’s deputies, EMS and state troopers were shown God’s love as the parish opened its doors. The week concluded with a prayer service in their honor and asking for God’s protection and blessings.
