Saint Therese

The Minnesota Star Tribune recently published an excellent article on navigating hospice at the end of life. It’s an important reminder that early understanding and open conversations can make an enormous difference for individuals and families.

At Saint Therese, we’re grateful to see more community education around hospice and palliative care. We provide both services at Saint Therese at St. Odilia and throughout our other communities across the Twin Cities metro.

Please note: The Star Tribune may limit access to subscribers.

We had a wonderful turnout last night for our very first Adult Children Program at Saint Therese of Corcoran! We welcomed a full room of engaged attendees who came ready to learn, ask questions, and talk about planning for aging parents and loved ones. Thank you to everyone who joined us — your energy made the evening so meaningful.

A heartfelt thank-you to our terrific panelists from Caring Transitions Twin Cities Central, Ascend Rehabilitation, Adara Home Health, and Alzheimer's Association Minnesota-North Dakota for sharing your expertise and compassion.

We’re also proud to recognize our three Saint Therese presenters, whose knowledge and real-world experience helped bring this topic to life.

And to the many Saint Therese colleagues who supported the evening — from room setup, décor, and culinary to hospitality, tours, and tech support — thank you for helping create such a welcoming and successful event.

We’re already excited for the next session. Stay tuned!

This Veterans Day, we honor Navy veteran John Thuente, a resident of Saint Therese of Woodbury. His story is one of quiet courage — from the skies over Vietnam to a life of faith, family, and service.

This Veterans Day, we also honor all who have served — men and women whose courage, compassion and respect remind us daily what it means to live our Saint Therese values.
