Your presence as our Patron Saint is a constant reminder of your unwavering love and intercession from Heaven.
You, dear Saint Teresa, are a cherished friend in Heaven, guiding us along the path of simplicity and humility through your Little Way. Your teachings have become a spiritual classic, touching the lives of countless individuals seeking solace and strength in their faith.
We also honour and seek the assistance of your wonderful parents, Louis and Zellie, now Saints, who have raised you to become the beacon of hope and inspiration that you are. Their influence and guidance continue to bless our parish community and we humbly ask for their support for our endeavours.
During this special jubilee celebration, we implore you, dear Saint Teresa, to shower our parish family with a special blessing. In these challenging times, we are in great need of your assistance. We ask for your intercession on behalf of the sick and housebound that they may find comfort and healing in their time in need. May your love envelop our families, especially those who feel lonely or burdened bringing them solace and strength.
We also ask for you guidance and protection for our Parish Deacon, Catechists, Lectors, Parish Leads and all those who selflessly serve in various ministries within our parish. And a special request for your help and blessing in forming our new Parish Leadership Team and a pastoral Vision for our growing community family.
With heartfelt love and deep gratitude, we all thank you for your unwavering support. Your presence in our lives is a constant reminder of God’s abundant love and grace. As we celebrate this momentous occasion, we renew our Commitment to follow your Little Way, seeking simplicity, humility, and love in all that we do.
