Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
October 2nd, 2016
My Dear Parishioners,
I hope that this day, in honor
of our patron, will bring to
you and those that you love
numerous blessings.
Happy Feast Day!
I am thankful for being your
pastor, knowing that it is
together in celebration of the
Mass that we aspire to
become that which we
profess in faith, and receive
in both word and sacrament.
We honor St. Theresa today at
every Mass, hopefully desiring
like her, to be more intimate
with her Lord and ours. Yet, from the seclusion of her Carmelite
Priory she was deeply in love with the world and its people.
St. Theresa could never have imagined that there would be churches
named after her throughout the world and that her popularity and
love would have reached the hearts of so many in so many distant
places.
In this place, love goes back over seventy years, when our parish was
first established. Since then, many have come to our church, often to
the Sunday Masses, with a small but regular group to the 7 am Mass
each morning, while others slip quietly into the darkness of the
church to pray at the statue of St. Theresa, Our Lady or the Blessed
Sacrament; to shed tears of sadness, offer up prayer or just to know
that in this place all are welcome and embraced by the Merciful One
under the patronage of the young French nun who only wanted to
spend her life in love.
Happy Feast Day and every blessing,
Fr. Phil
Pastor

Grieving the Loss of a Loved One?
What is your response when you are confronted with death? A natural
part of life, death is unpredictable and can turn our lives around.
Taking the time to mourn the loss is the pathway to healing, and
talking with others can help put things into perspective. Through
lecture and discussion we will explore: the phases of the grieving
process, what gets stirred up, how we get stuck and what it takes to
unhinge the resistances in order to find a new beginning.
If you are interested, please join us Tuesdays:
October 18, 25 & November 1, 8 at 7 pm in the Church Office.
Mary Ann Miller, LCSW-- a therapist in private practice in Houston,
will be leading this ministry. If you have questions you may call
