St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church Iowa City

"You'll never bring anyone into the Church unless your welcoming and accepting." Sister Theresa Kruml has always believed that a welcoming spirit is the key to sharing the faith. She’s lived that mission every day for three-quarters of a century! This June, we’re honored to celebrate her 75th Jubilee and the beautiful, enduring legacy of service she continues to build.

From the halls of St. Wenceslaus to the baptismal blankets she carefully crafts today, Sister Theresa reminds us all what it means to lead with love.

Join us in celebrating this incredible milestone! We love you, Sister! ❤️
