Parish Mission Statement
We, the parishioners of St. Therese, are committed to continue the ministry of Jesus Christ through prayer, worship, faith, and charity. We believe that the Eucharist should be at the center of our lives; that we
are to be the stewards of God, sharing our time and talents to promote our spiritual development as individuals and a community. May St. Therese assist us that we might imitate her life of prayer, simplicity and
obedience to God’s will.

Pentecost Sunday
2
Gospel John 20:19-23 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Reading I Acts 2:1-11 When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.”
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34 Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD, my God, you are great indeed! How manifold are your works, O Lord! the earth is full of your creatures; Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD be glad in his works! Pleasing to him be my theme; I will be glad in the LORD. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. If you take away their breath, they perish and return to their dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Reading II 1 Corinthians 12: 3b-7, 12-13 Brothers and sisters: No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
Month of June The Way of the Heart We pray that all those who suffer may find their way in life, allowing themselves to be touched by the Heart of Jesus.
Sequence Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home Shed a ray of light divine!
Come, Father of the poor! Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine. You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul’s most welcome guest; Sweet refreshment here below;
In our labor, rest most sweet; Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe. O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours, And our inmost being fill!
Where you are not, we have naught, Nothing good in deed or thought, Nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew; On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away: Bend the stubborn heart and will; Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray. On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore In your sevenfold gift descend;
Give them virtue’s sure reward; Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end. Amen. Alleluia.

From Fr. Albert Dear Brothers and Sisters, In this unprecedented time, while strongly fighting Covid -19, we are also returning to our church on the day of Pentecost to praise and worship God. I am sure the Holy Spirit will stand with us throughout. This weekend we are celebrating Pentecost Sunday, the day when the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples and the church was founded. Pentecost means the fiftieth day after the Resurrection. On this day a great transformation took place in the small group of disciples. The spirit came upon the timid disciples in the form of tongues of fire and transformed them into true messengers of Jesus. Once they received the Spirit, they went out boldly and preached to all in Jerusalem and elsewhere. On the day of Pentecost, Jesus wants us to know the freedom of living in his Spirit. We are called to recognize the gift of the Holy Spirit, realizing that God’s very life, breath and energy lives in all believers. The same Spirit is given to each of us. We are all baptized by one Spirit into one body and that the Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead will raise us also. As a family of God, we are all united again to pray for healing and revival during this challenging time. The church is going to be kept open for public Masses with restrictions and safety measures place. So, Dear friends, through the power of the Spirit we ask for the grace to be forgiven and the grace to forgive. As Jesus empowers his disciples with the new life of his Spirit, we look for the gift of peace and joy from the same Spirit as we open our parish church for public Masses on Sundays. Pentecost Sunday – Reflections
• The feast of Pentecost marks the beginning of the Church - the birthday of the Holy Mother Church. • Christ fills His Church with the power of His Spirit and sends us out
into the world to bring peace, unity, joy, forgiveness, love and eternal life to all humankind.
• The Spirit we have received, commissions and empowers us to move out in full force yet, with wisdom and gentility in order to testify to the lordship of Christ.
In Christ Fr. Albert
Prayer for the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, fan into flame the gifts I received in my Baptism and Confirmation.
I want to receive the fire of Your love as Your disciples did at Pentecost.
Come with wonder and awe, with wisdom, understanding, and counsel,
with courage and faith in You. Holy Spirit, may my actions witness
to Your presence in my life. Help me to see the ways my strengths
can serve others in their weakness. In all my interactions, I want to radiate
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

To all our 2020 Graduates Our prayers are with you as you start another chapter in your lives.
Graduation Prayer Dear God, those whom you called to do great things for you were often tested first. You did so, not to frustrate them, but to bring out what you saw as the best in them. Joseph was raised from slavery to royalty, and you gave him grace to forgive when he'd been wronged. Solomon was raised from prince to king, and you granted him wisdom to govern his people. Jeremiah was raised from youth to prophet, and you gave him courage to proclaim your truth. Today begins a new chapter in the lives of these graduates. Give them the wisdom to make wise decisions, just as you gave your servants
guidance in ages past. Amen. 2007 Liturgical Publications Inc.
Precautions for Returning to Mass Attendance at Weekend Masses The faithful should be aware that the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains dispensed until further notice. All those as defined by the health department as more vulnerable (i.e., 60+ years of age, those with compromised immune systems, those with underlying health conditions, those who are especially anxious about being in a large group, etc.) are encouraged to stay home. For those who are planning on attending, we request that you either sign up on the parish website or call the parish office. This will give us an idea as to the number of people planning to attend each weekend Mass. Keep in mind that we can only have 25% of the total capacity. St. Therese capacity will be 100 people. Guidelines for Returning to Mass on Weekends As we prepare to return to public celebration of Mass on weekends, here are some guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of our community. A full list of precautions can be seen on our parish website.
Safety precautions: Sanitize your hands before entering and leaving church. Masks are strongly encouraged. Put on a face mask
before entering church. It is advised that attendees wash their clothes following the Mass.
Attendance: Please note that attendance at each Mass is limited to 100 people.
Entrances will be limited: We will use the front and south doors only. The elevator entrance will remain open for the elderly and
people with disabilities. Pew distancing: Social distancing of a minimum of 6 feet between
people not living in the same household must be followed. We will have every third pew available and marked by Mass times.
Pew resources: Hymnals, and other paper resources in the pews will be removed.
Communion: Ushers will direct the Communion line. There will be markings on the floor to help you preserve social distancing of 6 feet. Only one single-file line is permitted to approach the
minister. Collection: You may place your tithing and offertory in the containers
provided at the entrances. Bulletins: Bulletins will be passed out by the ushers after Mass.
Please note the parish bulletin is available on our website for easy viewing.
Elevator: Only two people should be in the elevator at one time unless you are from the same household. Cleaning: Volunteer cleaners will be sanitizing pews, entrances and
all other facilities used before each Mass.
A committee has been formed to make sure that all the precautionary steps are taken for the safe return of our parishioners to St. Therese Parish. This team is led by our compliance manager, Michelle Reedy. Team members are Richard Besaida, Larry Zschernitz, Maria Marciulionis, Julie Dozer, Lynn Hildebrandt, LeeAnn Seitz, Dcn. Michael Lambrecht, Colleen Ryan
Please note that weekday Masses will be celebrated privately and will be Live streamed.

Give a direct gift by sending a check to St. Therese of the Child Jesus Endowment Fund, 112 W.
