CHURCH OF ST. THERESA, BRONX JULY 20, 2014 SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Dear Friends, Allow me to express my sincere gratitude for all of your love, support, and prayers throughout my years of formation for the priesthood in St. Joseph Seminary. Thank you for your incredible generosity to me on the occasion of the celebration of my first Mass here at St. Theresa. Your presence at my first Mass was truly impressive and something I will hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life. Thank you for all the generous gifts that I received from you. Your generosity to me during this time was truly touching. To Fr. Grippo, the priests, and staff of St. Theresa who made my ordination and first Mass celebration an experience I will never forget I also express my gratitude. As you know I have been assigned to St. Rose of Lima Parish in Washington Heights. I have begun my ministry to the people of that parish and I have taken all that I have learned and experienced at St. Theresa with me to help me in my ministry to the good people of St. Rose of Lima. The parishioners of St. Theresa helped form me to be a good priest since I was a little boy, for this I am eternally grateful. I am also grateful for your continued prayers and support. Please know that my prayers for all of you and your loved ones will continue throughout my years of priesthood. Thank you for sharing your love of God and deep faith with me. Your dedication and faithfulness to the people of God at St. Theresa Parish led me to the priesthood. Continue to pray daily that other young men from this great parish will answer the call to priesthood. Below you will find my contact information. Please feel free to contact me or visit. May God abundantly bless you all. St. Rose of Lima Parish 510 W. 165th Street New York, NY 10032 With love and gratitude, Fr. Richard Marrano ARE YOU BEING CALLED St. Theresa Parish is blessed with many dedicated volunteers who help to pass on our faith to the children of our parish who attend public school, but there is always room for more. We would welcome catechists, substitute catechists, hall monitors, and classroom aides for our Sunday morning or Wednesday evening religion classes. If you think God might be calling you to service to our parish youth please call Mrs. McCarrick at 718-792-8434. FIRST FRIDAY This Friday August 7 th is First Friday we will have our Holy Hour from 7:30-8:30PM and the church will remain open until 10:00PM for private adoration. HANDICAP ENTRANCE TO THE CHURCH The side entrance to the Church on Pilgrim Avenue will be open every Sunday for anyone who is handicapped or in a wheelchair. Also, this same entrance will be opened every weekday until 9:30AM. Please continue to share the peace and joy of our faith with others. There are so many that are in the need of Jesus. Can you be for all of us a living sign to all our parishioners and neighbors, and tell them for us we need them and love them. Someone may hear and accept the invitation from you and return home to worship the Lord with us. So please invite a friend, relative, or neighbor to come with you to Church next Sunday. God will do the rest. Let us share our treasure of faith with others. PETITION BOOK Have you noticed our Petition Book in the vestibule of the Church? Every Saturday before the 5:00PM Mass, the petitions entered into the book for that week are brought up to the altar of the Blessed Mother, where they remain for all the weekend Masses. Please pray for these intentions. REMINDER TO ALTAR SERVERS : Please be sure to check your schedules each week for the Mass you are assigned to serve. If you cannot serve the Mass you have been assigned please make sure you find a replacement. When you are at Mass on Saturday or Sunday please check in the sacristy to see if we need your help serving Mass.
