CHURCH OF ST. THERESA, BRONX FROM THE DESK OF FATHER DERIVAN: AUGUST 10, 2014 NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME I want to thank you for the very warm welcome extended to me and to Father Joseph last weekend at our Masses. This parish obviously has great love for priests. Father Grippo often mentioned this to me, but now I was able to see it first-hand. With your help, your support and most of all your prayers for us priests, God will continue to do great things. On the first day I offered Mass in our church, I must admit I was a little nervous. Here I was, new to the parish, new to you, and hardly able to figure out which key would let me into the sacristy! But during the Mass, I noticed on the back of the altar the names of some of the great priests who served this parish and our Archdiocese-Msgr. Ponsiglione, Msgr. Jannarone, Msgr. Rizzo and Father Jaccolino. How could I, a new priest here and the first non-italian pastor at that!-how could I follow in their footsteps? Then I saw the last name, Father Herbert D Argenio. I did not have the privilege of knowing the other priests whose names are on our altar, but I did know our dear Father D Argenio very well. I have known many fine priests in my forty-two years of priesthood, but no one could equal Father D Argenio who served this parish for so many years. I do not know whether you are aware of this, but Father D Argenio influenced more young men to consider the priesthood than any other priest I know. (In fact, the priests whom he influenced were-and still are-called Herbie s boys. ) When I saw Father D Argenio s name on the altar, I was both humbled and thankful-humbled because I was offering the Mass in the same church where he offered Mass so faithfully, I cannot presume to be Father D Argenio, but I will try to have the same love that he had for you. As I mentioned, Father D Argenio had great influence on many priests. You have been very blessed to have had a number of priests and seminarians from this parish. Of course, I am thinking of Father Richard Marrano, a son of St. Theresa s Parish, and what a fine young priest he is! You can be proud of him. You can also be proud of Seminarian (and soon to be Deacon) Andre Dindy Zabala who has served this parish for the past year and who is now completing his preparation for the priesthood in May. You can be proud of Seminarian Louis Masi who is currently studying for the priesthood in Rome and for Seminarian Michael Agovino who will begin his studies for the Salesian Order. Father D Argenio must be so proud of all of these young men from his place in heaven. He must also be proud of you for your encouragement to them and your prayers for them. The call to the priesthood does not come as a bolt of thunder. It comes from people like yourselves who encourage their sons and grandsons-and their friends sons and grandsons-to open their hearts to God s call. Most priests will tell you that it was some good layperson-parent, grandparent, teacher, friend who said to them, Have you ever thought of becoming a priest? Do not ever be shy about asking that question. God may very well be speaking through you. Father D Argenio must be smiling down on this parish from heaven. May he be smiling even more for more young men from this parish who will hear and answer the call of Jesus, come follow me. God bless you all! Father Thomas B. Derivan SCHOOL NEWS The School Office is closed the following weeks: August 11-18th During the weeks of July 26-August 8th the office will be open Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9:00AM to 1:00PM.
