Activities:
The Feast Committee is involved in a variety of fund-raising and community-building activities including the Annual Feast and the semi-annual Casino Nights.  The feast started as a block party and was expanded in the hopes of reaching more new and former parishioners.  Over the years, thousands of people have participated and this summer we will sponsor the 14^th Annual St. Theresa Feast.

The Feast includes the usual rides, food and games of chance as well as nightly entertainment from both professional performers and amateurs.  The Committee works throughout the year to attract vendors who sell a variety of items at the Feast as well as those who provide rides and food.  The Committee’s work also includes obtaining sponsorship of corporations and local businesses, planning out the use of space, obtaining  permits for the event, recruiting and coordinating volunteers and booking bands.

 In an effort to reach out to the youth of the community, Thursday night is dedicated to youth with performances by local teen bands, dance troupes and a Catholic troupe called Radix.  Saturday night is Alumni Night; alumni are invited to come back and visit with each other and friends in the parish.

 Funds raised by the Committee are used to help both the parish and the school to meet many financial obligations and, indirectly, to aid other parish organizations such as the Teen Center, Senior Center and Midnight Run, just to name a few.

 Everyone is encouraged to attend the meetings and input is both welcomed and essential.

Throughout the year, The Committee is also involved in various social gatherings including a summer barbecue, A Fat Tuesday celebration and a Christmas Dinner Party.
