CHURCH OF ST. THERESA, BRONX SEPTEMBER 15, 2013 TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME From The Pastor, As our new school year begins, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the work that has been completed to our parish school building this past summer. After lengthy discussions between our parish consultants and various contractors over the past few years the following projects were completed: the original oil boilers; all of the original windows in our gym were replaced by new windows; brick pointing was done to the Mayflower Avenue entrance to our gym; electrical rewiring of the second floor of the school building to allow for air conditioning of classrooms; the installation of 11 air conditioning units. With the installation of these 11 units all of our classrooms from Pre-K through 8 th grade are now fully air conditioned. Along with these projects the regular maintenance that yearly goes on in the school every summer was also completed. New Gas Boiler - $210, 000 New Gym Windows - $13,000 Brick Pointing - $5,000 Rewiring of the 2 nd Floor - $20, 322 11 New A/C Units - $13,000 Total cost of these summer projects = $261,322 WOW!!!! Because of the generosity of some of our parishioners who supported our Capital Improvement Campaign a few years ago, we were able to pay for all these projects in full. To those parishioners who so generously made their sacrificial gift to the Campaign, I want to offer on behalf of all of our parishioners especially the children my deepest gratitude. God is never outdone in generosity to those who do all they can for the love of God and the building up of His parish communities. Be assured that God will bless you and your families for years to come. And be assured you are in my prayers as well. A FAMILY PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF FAITH O God our Father, In Jesus you call all Christian families and homes to be signs of living faith. By the light of the Holy Spirit, lead us to be thankful for the gift of faith, and by that gift may we grow in our relationship with Jesus, your Son, and be confident witnesses to Christian hope and joy to all we meet. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen REMINDER If you have a Sunday Mass offered for a loved one and are present at the Mass and would like to bring up the Offertory Gifts to the Altar, please let one of the ushers know before the Mass begins. We are now starting to restock our Food Pantry for distribution starting in October.

Of course we have the Tree of Life which is a permanent memorial, but then there are those of us who want to do something on a weekly basis. Over the past few years we began taking donations for Altar Bread in memory of our loved ones, and each week their name and the name of the donor is posted in the bulletin. We are also taking donations for the burning of the Sanctuary Lamp. If you are interested in memorializing your loved one in any way, please call the Rectory and reserve a week. We hope this will help those who want to remember their loved ones in any of these ways.
