MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF C HRIST 18TH ANNUAL ST. THERESA FEAST Plans are underway for our 18th Annual Summer Festival. This year it will be held from July 23rd to the 27th. So tell your family and friends to save the dates and make plans to attend this fun filled celebration of our community. Some of your fellow parishioners are working hard to make sure everything is organized just right. They have already started to make some additions and changes that will make this year s edition the best one ever. If you would like to get involved with the planning please feel free to stop by any of the feast meetings that will be posted in future editions of the parish bulletin. THIS YEAR S THEME As you know, each year since the inception of the feast we have had a catchphrase that is the underlying theme of that years feast. That theme is incorporated in many of the different facets of the feast & religious observances. This year we have chosen as our theme Come Home To Jesus. What better time than now to stop by church and say a prayer, light a candle, or attend a Mass. What better time than now to do a good deed for someone in need. What better time than now to feel better about yourself. What better time than now to Come Home To Jesus. RELIGIOUS SERVICES Final details of our procession route & religious observance schedule are still being worked on. Each night we will have opening prayers and a Mass celebrated for a special intention. We will also have a concert in the Church immediately following the Sunday procession. More information will be forthcoming. RAFFLE As part of our feast we will once again hold our Grand Raffle. The grand prize will be a 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 (the newest and already one of the bestselling Mercedes models) or $30,000. The 2nd prize will be $1,000 and the 3rd prize will be $500. There will only be 1000 tickets sold at a cost of $100 each. Once again we ask for your help. This raffle is very important to the financial state of our parish. If you cannot buy them yourself please make every effort to network them among friends, relatives or coworkers. Take the raffle tickets to your place of employment or a family gathering and ask a number of people to share in the $100.00 cost of a ticket and ultimately share the $30,000 grand prize. For those of you that are not on our mailing list you can pick up a ticket or two in front of the church today. If your ticket stubs are in before the end of June you qualify for the early-bird drawing. The winner of the early-bird will receive $300.00 and 3 additional free tickets for the Grand Raffle. Raffle tickets are available on the parish web-site http://sttheresaschoolbronx.org, just click on The Feast link. Please do your best to network at least one raffle ticket. We all know that if we try we can get it done. ADVANCE RIDE TICKETS: We offer advance ride tickets at a discount. You are able to save 50% over the cost of buying the tickets at the feast and use your credit card. Advance ride tickets are available in the bookstore after the weekend masses, in the rectory weekdays from 9:00AM to 4:30PM, and on the parish web-site http://sttheresaschoolbronx.org until July 22nd. Just click on The Feast link. VOLUNTEERS Our Feast would not be possible without the efforts of hundreds of parishioners that volunteer and help each year. As our feast continues to grow and as we try to initiate new features for our parishioners we are in need for more and more volunteers. If you volunteered in the past we thank you for your endeavors and hope that you will be able to help us this year. If you have not helped in the past please give us a try. Whatever amount of time you can give will be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in helping please fill out a volunteer sign-up sheet and drop in the collection box during any Sunday Mass or bring to the rectory. Sign-up sheets can be found in the back of the church. KNITTERS & CROCHETERS Once again we are reaching out to those that can knit or crochet. We are asking for baby blankets, sweaters, hats or booties for babies. These items will be displayed during our feast and then donated to the Premature Baby Unit at Jacobi Medical Center. These items can be dropped off at the rectory during the week or the raffle table in front of the church before or after the weekend masses. LOCAL RESIDENTS We ask all of our parishioners to join us and say thank-you to those individuals that own homes or live within the immediate area of our feast. We realize that at times during the week of our feast those local residents are inconvenienced. We thank them for their understanding & patience. Many of them have told us that these inconveniences are greatly outweighed by the good that our feast does for our parish & community. If there is a condition that you feel we can address please call the rectory at 718-892-1900 a member of the Feast Committee will contact you. COPORATE SPONSORS-There is a program associated with our feast where business can get involved and help as well. It s called our corporate Sponsor Program.

It is now the time to think about a dress code appropriate for attending Mass. Let us keep foremost in our minds that upon entering the church, we enter the house of God and come into the real presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. While our interior disposition of reverence is most important, it should also be evident in our modesty and reverence in our dress and actions. We should not be wearing shorts of any kind, halter-tops, flip flops, short skirts, tight fitting clothing, or clothing that exposes the back or midriff. While some of these items may be appropriate for picnics or other outdoor activities, they are not appropriate for the worship of God in church. May we give due honor, respect and glory to God by showing our reverential love for Him and our fellow parishioners through our modest attire and good example as we worship in His presence.
