Scrip Fundraising Project

Sign up with Ralphs (Supporter ID: 80782) to make sure a percentage of your regular grocery shopping goes towards our parish Building Fund. IMPORTANT NOTE:  Over the past ten years, St. Therese has earned $250,000 through the eScrip program going toward building and furnishing the church and Parish Center. We hope that you will continue to participate in the eScrip program, noting the change.
