SANCTUARY LAMP The Sanctuary Lamp burns this week in loving memory of Susanna Magarelli at the request of The Magarelli and Hallihan Families Happy Mother s Day from the Parish Staff of St. Therese Page Three Letter from the Pastor Dear Parishioners, At the conclusion of today s Gospel we hear Jesus say: Whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these.

6 This saying of Jesus is a call to service. It is a reminder to us that we are called in this Easter season to renew our com-mitment to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and to love one another as he has loved us. On this Mother s Day our young people are taking up the charge of today s Gospel as they collect nursery items for mothers and infants in need. It is a small gesture with far reaching implications for the expectant mothers who will receive these items. To be a truly pro-life community means that we stand ready to help every new mother and infant through prayer and charity. Even though we are five weeks into Easter, the season is filled with the excitement and joy that we felt at the Easter Vigil and on Easter Sunday Morning.

7 As the season moves towards the Ascension and Pentecost we continue to grow in the joy and love of the God who has set us free from the darkness of sin and called us into the warmth of the light of his love. Happy Mother s Day! With Love, Fr. Sam THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED GENEROSITY Our weekly goal $15, Week of May 7, 2017 Regular $12, Assessment $ 2, Total $15, Please make all checks payable to St. Therese Church SUNDAY COLLECTION MINISTER SCHEDULE May 20 & 21 EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS 5:00 PM A.
