Mother’s Day Brunch

Mother’s Day at Casa Teresa is a great time of year to reflect on that special relationship between a mother and her child.  Lou and Diana Oddo and their family have been kind enough to put on a Mother’s Day Brunch for our Moms.  This special Mother’s Day is one that will remain in our moms’ memories for many years.

Mother’s Day Baby Shower

With donations from Mater Dei High School’s girls volleyball team, Mariners Church, and the Casa Teresa Central and Founders Guilds, we were able to shower 14 of our current Casa Teresa Moms with fantastic gifts to prepare for the upcoming arrivals of their little ones. Complete with balloons, favors, games and cake, this shower celebrated our Moms just in time for Mother’s Day. Each mom received a baby bath kit, several items of clothing, baby toys, diapers, wipes, and a baby bouncy seat, valued collectively a $150 per mom.
