Sam at 201-567-2528. Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page Three Letter from the Pastor Let us welcome the following children who were baptized recently at St. Therese Church: Dear Parishioners, Did you ever wonder how Jesus must have felt when he realized that those he loved most in this world, his family and community, could not or would not hear his message. Perhaps they were so familiar with him that they could not see him for who he was. The Lord comes to us in many ways every day of our lives. Do we recognize him for who he is? Do we recognize him in the family member who challenges us and drives us crazy? Do we recognize him in the sadness of a child? Do we recognize him in the person who clears our table? Do we know him when he approaches us in the person who sits next to us at work or in church? Do we see him when we look into the eyes of our parents or our children? God is all around us. God speaks to us in the everyday simple things and moments of our lives. Stop. Listen. Pray. Love. In the most unexpected ways and through the most unexpected people God reveals Himself to us. God is never not there. It really annoys God if you walk through a field of purple flowers and don’t realize that they are there. With Love, Fr. Sam Thomas Matthew Banta Andrew Joseph Collado Kiera Michelle Dollard Kylie Kristin Hroncic Abigail Kimberly Hsu Emilynn Santina Rogalli Logan Michael Russo May God continue to bless them and guide them!

Minister Schedule for July 14-15 “Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.” ― Thérèse de Lisieux Marriage Encounter Plants need fertilizer to grow healthy and strong and so does your marriage. Without some nurturing and care it will remain weak and unfulfilling. Spread a little fertilizer on your relationship. Make a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend and watch your love for each other grow stronger. For more information contact Mike and Eileen Morgan 973 827-9606 ([email protected]) or go to WWME.org.
