Dear friends,

+ Deep Gratitude

A big THANK YOU goes out to all the Volunteers who gave the Parish their precious time to help make this year's Bazaar& BBQ  a success.  The weather was perfect, the kids played and laughed, the food was yummy, the movies were fabulous, and the popcorn was sold out!  It does not get any better than this. 

+ Shop and Help! :

Every time you use your Target REDCard, Target will donate money to our school.  St. Therese School collects 1% back a year when shopping at Target and ½% back when using the Visa elsewhere!

Remember: you must designate ST. THERESE CHINESE CATHOLIC SCHOOL as your school choice by logging on toredcard.target.com.

+ Mission Month of October:

During the “Mission Month” of October we intend to reach out, with our prayers, to the whole world.

Last week we prayed in a special way for the African Continent; this week we'd like to commend to the Lord the vast continent of Asia and, in a very special way, China. This country is very dear to the Xaverian Missionaries since their Religious Congregation was founded by Blessed Guido Maria Conforti with the specific intent of bringing Christ to that country.

To be missionary has never been easy, especially now in a world tom by so many wars and conflicts.  

+ Legion of Mary’s Appeal:

Linda from the “Legion of Mary” is asking people to help making Rosaries during the CCD classes or at home. Rosaries are always high in demand and short in supply.  While making them we can pray for those who will receive them; in this way we shall be helping in the Evangelization of Chinatown

+ Have you bought your ticket?

The  Fifty/50 raffle is still going on till the end of this month to offer Parishioners the possibility of trying their good luck! With the purchase of one  $100 we can help the school and at the same time win huge prices in cash. Why don’t you try?

+ Monies:

Last Sunday collection was                       $ 1,605.00

Indonesian Mass donation                        $      48.00

Let us remember our Parish in prayer! May God bless you and your families!
