As schools close for the summer, July brings the perfect opportunity to pack your bags, take a well-deserved break and embark on new travel adventures alone or with the family. Whether your destination is a quiet coastal beach, a bustling historic city, or a peaceful mountain trail, holidays offer a beautiful chance to rest and renew your spirit.

However, no matter how far you travel from home, your faith knows no geographic boundaries. Your relationship with God travels with you in every suitcase and across every time zone. Exploring new places actually offers a unique privilege: experiencing the universality of the Catholic Church. Slipping into a different parish, hearing the liturgy in another language, or witnessing a local community gather for worship reminds us that we belong to a global family.

We encourage you to continue attending Mass during your travels. Finding a local church online before you arrive makes it seamless to keep Sunday holy wherever you are. Enjoy every moment of your summer journey, stay safe on the roads, and feel the freedom of these warmer days. We will miss you while you are away, and we look forward to welcoming you back to St Theresa’s on your return!
