At the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday morning are your personal gifts to Canon Michael and Fr. Roshy. Thank you for your generosity as always. Envelopes are available in the narthex.

​Holy water is a sacramental that remits venial sin. Because of the blessing attached to it, Holy Church strongly urges its use upon her children, especially when dangers threaten, such as fire, storms, sickness and other calamities. Every Catholic home always should have in it a supply of holy water.
We do not take advantage of the benefits derived from holy water.
Let us cultivate its use. Untold spiritual wealth is concentrated in a tiny drop of blessed water and we give it so little thought! Did we realize now, as we shall realize after death, the many benefits which may be derived from holy water, we would use it far more frequently, and with greater faith and reverence.
Holy water has its great power and efficacy from the prayers of the Church, which its Divine Founder always accepts with complacency.

Thank you for your willingness to serve as an altar server at Saint Teresa’s.  Some of you recently joined our Altar Server Team, some of you have been serving a good number of years.   The ministry you do is a great privilege.  It is a service to Christ Himself and to the people of God.  I am grateful to our M.C. – Master of Ceremonies – James Bush, who, with the help of his mother Bernadette, has guided you and trained you.   Your reverence and the way you serve at the altar helps create an atmosphere of worship at Mass.   Without your help, our celebration of Holy Mass or the other sacraments might go less smoothly or be less solemn.  All the members of our parish family thank you, and we know that you will do your best to honour Jesus.   He will bless you and thank you.   Remember, you are much more than simple helpers of the parish priest, you are servers of Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest.  You are called to be friends of Jesus.  In Him you have a friend for life.
