MOORESVILLE — St. Thérèse Church in Mooresville completed its 30th annual rummage sale Aug. 4-5, raising approximately $22,000 for the parish. Over the years, parish projects such as upgrades to flooring, lighting or sound equipment have been funded by the proceeds from the rummage sale.
The women’s SWAT team (Special Works and Tasks) coordinates the annual sale, which is quite popular in the Mooresville community.
