The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux
Catholic Church
BY JENNIFER COATES
The summer months are finally fading into the cooler, longer days of autumn. It is time to put away the carefree thoughts of summer and turn to a more reflective time. Perhaps you, like so many others, are seeking spiritual renewal, a chance to increase your faith, or an opportunity to make connections in a
community of fellow believers. Perhaps you are contemplating a different path than the one you have been travelling for so long. Perhaps change is what you need.
If you are on this path, then you will feel welcome at The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux, an all-inclusive Catholic Church in West Warwick. When you come to this close-knit community, here is some of what you should expect:
One, you should expect to feel completely at home—man, woman, child. You are home when you are here.
Two, you should expect to see others just like you—gay, straight, or any other way you identify. No one is excluded here.
Three, you should expect to see a volunteer clergy who receive no compensation for their dedication, service, and commitment to their congregation.
Four, you should expect to see women serving alongside their male counterparts as ordained Deacons, Ministers and even married Priests.
Five, you should expect to see divorcees partaking in all the rituals and blessings that their married and single friends enjoy.
Six, you should expect a welcoming hand, an outstretched arm, an embrace, and an invitation to return.
The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux is an independent Catholic Community that functions outside the jurisdiction of Rome. As Father Charles Vohs, the congregation’s Priest explains, this is a faith community whose mission it is to reclaim those whose experiences have left them feeling marginalized by the traditional Catholic Church. The church is a haven for those whose lifestyles and relationships have often left them feeling estranged, conflicted, and often unwanted. Father Chuck would say to those who feel left on the fringes of their faith—come, you are a Child of God and you are welcome here. Come to be replenished, edified, supported, and uplifted.
Please come to St. Therese, located at 1500 Main Street in West Warwick. Services are held every Sunday at 10:30, either in person or via Zoom. Feel free to call 401-6809076, email stocc1500@gmail.com or visit their website www.go1500.org for more information.

On Sept. 25, 1970, the hit series “The Partridge Family,” about a musical clan that was inspired by the reallife singing Cowsills, made its debut on ABC.

• On Sept. 18, 1973, future president Jimmy Carter filed a report with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, claiming he had seen a UFO several years previously in Leary, Georgia, which he described as a silent ball of light that changed size, brightness and color over a period of 10-12 minutes.
• On Sept. 19, 1995, The New York Times and The Washington Post published the Unabomber’s 35,000-word manifesto, as in June he had said he would kill again if they did not do so by a specific deadline. The FBI hoped the publication might help reveal his identity.

• On Sept. 20, 1881, following the assassination of James Garfield, Vice President Chester Arthur was inaugurated on Sept. 20, 1881, becoming the third person to serve as president in that year.

• On Sept. 21, 1955, eight women launched America’s first lesbianrights group, the Daughters of Bilitis, initially as a social alternative to the frequently raided bar scene. The group eventually grew into a national advocacy organization.
• On Sept. 22, 1828, Shaka, founder of the Zulu Kingdom of southern Africa, was murdered by his two half-brothers after his mental illness threatened to destroy the Zulu tribe. Although at first a brilliant military organizer, his grief at losing his mother in 1827 led him to enact strange laws, including a prohibition against planting crops and using milk, and to order the execution of all pregnant women and their husbands. The crisis came when he sent his army on an extensive military operation, and upon their returning exhausted, immediately commanded them out again.
