Committee (Taking Effort to Raise Existing Social Awareness)
The T.E.R.E.S.A. Committee was initiated at St. Dunstan Catholic
School in the Fall of 2000 as a subcommittee of the St. Dunstan
Women’s Club. Our philosophy has continued to be based
on the words and works of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Each season
we research causes and focus on projects which allow St. Dunstan
school and parish to participate in expressions of Christian
fellowship and contribution to our community – indeed
the values practiced by Mother Teresa during her lifetime. Meetings
will take place on every fourth Monday of each month (unless noted otherwise) during
the school year at 7:00 p.m. in the School Library. Email
TERESA Committee.
