SALISBURY — Parishioners at Sacred Heart Church were recently treated to an exhibit featuring St. Teresa’s life through picture panels depicting her life from birth to canonization.
They also venerated a first-class relic that was displayed during all Masses Jan. 21-22. The “Exhibit of Love & Mercy” was brought by the Missionaries of Charity and included 75 full-color panels of her life story – from her birth and vocation story, to her incredible life works of love, and mercy devoted to the heart of Jesus and serving the sick, poor, hungry, lonely and vulnerable.
Seventh-graders at Sacred Heart School also drew artwork to express their love of St. Teresa.

FOREST CITY — On the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Jan. 1, parishioners of Immaculate Conception Church prayed the consecration to the Holy Family after each Mass.
The prayer program was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, who provided the Holy Family image that had been blessed by Pope Francis on June 29, 2015, the solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul.
The order’s first prayer program was held in 1979 and it featured an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas. Father Herbert Burke, pastor, and Deacon Sigfrid Della Valle led the consecration to the Holy Family.
