July 8th at 7:30PM in the large rectory meeting room. As always
our meetings are open to all parishioners and local residents. Feel
free to join us if you’d like to see how this committee works,
bring up any ideas or get involved. We are always looking for
suggestions and good help.
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.
14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
18TH ANNUAL ST. THERESA FEAST
Plans are underway for our 18th Annual Summer Festival. This year it will be held from July 23rd to the 27th. So tell your family and
friends to save the dates and make plans to attend this fun filled celebration of our community. Some of your fellow parishioners are
working hard to make sure everything is organized just right. They have already started to make some additions and changes that will
make this year’s edition the best one ever. If you would like to get involved with the planning please feel free to stop by any of the feast
meetings that will posted in future editions of the parish bulletin.
THIS YEAR’S THEME— As you know, each year since the inception of the feast we have had a catchphrase that is the underlying
theme of that year’s feast. That theme is incorporated in many of the different facets of the feast & religious observances. This year we
have chosen as our theme “Come Home to Jesus”. What better time than now to stop by church and say a prayer, light a candle, or attend
a Mass. What better time than now to do a good deed for someone in need. What better time than now to feel better about yourself.
What better time than now to “Come Home to Jesus”.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES—Final details of our procession route & religious observance schedule are still being worked on. Each night
we will have opening prayers and a Mass celebrated for a special intention. We will also have a concert in the Church immediately
following the Sunday procession. More information will be forthcoming.
CONFIRMATION GRANTS– The Feast committee would like to congratulate Rebecca Lubelli and Francesca Muccio—winners of
this year’s Feast Grants given annually to two of our young parishioners whose services to our community emulate those of our feast
volunteers.
VOLUNTEERS— Our Feast would not be possible without the efforts of hundreds of parishioners that volunteer and help each year.
As our feast continues to grow and as we try to initiate new features for our parishioners we are in need of more and more volunteers. If
you volunteered in the past we thank you for your endeavors and hope that you will be able to help us this year. If you have not helped
in the past please “give us a try”. Whatever amount of time you can give will be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in helping
please fill out a volunteer sign-up sheet and drop in the collection box during any Sunday Mass or bring to the rectory. Sign-up sheets
can be found in the back of the church.
RAFFLE— As part of our feast we will once again hold our Grand Raffle. The grand prize will be a 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 (the
newest and already one of the bestselling Mercedes models) or $30,000. The 2nd prize will be $1,000 and the 3rd prize will be $500.
There will only be 1000 tickets sold at a cost of $100 each. Once again we ask for your help. This raffle is very important to the
financial state of our parish. If you cannot buy them yourself please make every effort to network them among friends, relatives or coworkers. Take the raffle tickets to your place of employment or a family gathering and ask a number of people to share in the $100.00
cost of a ticket and ultimately share the $30,000 grand prize. For those of you that are not on our mailing list you can pick up a ticket or
two in front of the church today. If your ticket stubs are in before the end of June you qualify for the early-bird drawing. The winner of
the early-bird will receive $300.00 and 3 additional free tickets for the Grand Raffle. Raffle tickets are available on the parish web-site
http://sttheresaschoolbronx.org, just click on The Feast link. Please do your best to network at least one raffle ticket. We all know that if
we try we can get it done.
ADVANCE RIDE TICKETS: We offer advance ride tickets at a discount. You are able to save 50% over the cost of buying the tickets
at the feast and use your credit card. Advance ride tickets are available in the bookstore after the weekend Masses, in the rectory
weekdays from 9:00AM to 4:30PM, and on the parish web-site http://sttheresaschoolbronx.org until July 22nd. Just click on The Feast
link.
KNITTERS & CROCHETERS– Once again we are reaching out to those that can knit or crochet. We are asking for baby blankets,
sweaters, hats or booties for babies. These items will be displayed during our feast and then donated to the “Premature Baby Unit” at
Jacobi Medical Center. These items can be dropped off at the rectory during the week or the raffle table in front of the church before or
after the weekend masses.
CORPORATE SPONSORS-There is a program associated with our feast where businesses can get involved and help as well. It’s
called our Corporate Sponsor Program. A tax deductible donation will get a business or store advertising and recognition during our
feast. For additional information call the rectory weekdays at 718-892-1900. Some of this year’s Corporate Sponsors are:

SUMMER ATTIRE
With summer here it is natural for us to put away our warm
weather clothing and don shorts and flip flops. It is now the
time to think about a dress code appropriate for attending Mass.
Let us keep foremost in our minds that upon entering the church,
we enter the house of God and come into the real presence of Our
Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. While our interior disposition of
reverence is most important, it should also be evident in our
modesty and reverence in our dress and actions. We should not
be wearing shorts of any kind, halter-tops, flip flops, short skirts,
tight fitting clothing, or clothing that exposes the back or midriff.
While some of these items may be appropriate for picnics or other
outdoor activities, they are not appropriate for the worship of God
in church. May we give due honor, respect and glory to God by
showing our reverential love for Him and our fellow parishioners
through our modest attire and good example as we worship in His
presence.

Bankruptcy
Chapter 13
It should be called the Federal Fresh Start Law: it provides a Government sanctioned forgiveness of debt with no tax
ramifications. It takes about 2 years to re-establish your credit after bankruptcy. It’s not part of the problem, it’s part of the
solution to raising your credit score. There’s no longer any social stigma when it comes to getting bankruptcy relief. Our
economy is not your fault. Don’t let the Banking Industry scare you away from getting the debt relief you are
entitled to under Federal Law. Call for a Free telephone consultation. Admitted to practice in 1982.
