Dear Parishioners, 

Your prayers are respectfully requested for the repose of the soul of Father Trent Watts, Pastor of Saint Therese Parish In Wrightsville Beach and a priest of the Diocese of Raleigh.  

Father Trent died this morning following a lengthy hospitalization in Wilmington with the effects of COVID-19. Kindly also include among your intentions his sister, Celeste, his family, his parish community and all who are now in mourning.  

Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Priests and Saint John Vianney, may Father Trent know the fullness of God’s peace, the abundance of His mercy and the Light of His Kingdom this day.  

United in prayers.
