welcome Seminarian juan miguel sanchezWe welcome diocesan seminarian Juan Miguel Sanchez to our parish for his summer assignment. Juan Miguel’s time here will be part of his preparation for the priesthood. He prepared the following autobiography:I was born in the outskirts of Guadalajara city in Mexico. I grew up Catholic in a huge and dynamic family. I am number twelve of fifteen siblings and I have the blessing of knowing, so far, 54 nephews and nieces. I lived in Mexico until I was twenty, worked as a butcher, and then moved with my parents and some of my siblings to Charleston, SC in 2005. I worked in construction for 8 years and then joined the Diocese of Charlotte and began my seminary studies in 2013. I did my college seminary in Columbus Ohio at the Pontifical College Josephinum, and then, I was sent to Rome to do my theological studies at the Pontifical North American College. I have currently completed my third year of theology and—God willing— will be ordained as a deacon on July 17.
I like to work with my hands, and I enjoy cooking, gardening, drawing, designing and hiking. I also enjoy art, traveling and sightseeing.
I first thought about the priesthood while I was an altar sever and then, later in life, when I was part of the youth group in my home parish. It wasn’t until I lived a retreat called Emmaus, and started helping as a catechist, that the call to become a priest became stronger; and so, I decided to join the seminary. I am super grateful with the support of the Diocese of Charlotte for these seven years in formation. But, in a more particular way, to all the faithful people who encourage and pray for vocations. I am blessed to have the opportunity to spend this summer here, at St. Therese, and get to know all of you.May our Lord help us to grow closer to Him as we walk together in these challenging times.Thanks in advance, and may God bless you all.Juan Miguel Sanchez

warning - email threats!Update: June, 2020Several ministry leaders continue to receive emails from someone posing as Fr. Mark Lawlor and asking for a favor. This is a Scam! Scams have been sent from people posing both as Fr. Mark Lawlor and Fr. Paul Asoh. Please be aware that scam texts are also now being sent.An important message from Fr. Mark: "I have never asked anyone for any financial favor via email or text for any specific charity, with regard to gift cards of any sort. If anyone ever has any doubts, please call me first."At this time, we believe emails are only being sent to Staff and Ministry Leaders due to their contact information being on our website, but we wanted to alert all our parishioners of this scam.To verify the legitimacy of a request from any of our parish clergy, you may call the Parish Office at 704-664-3992.
Thank you! Stay safe and be well!
