SAINT TERESA SPEAKS:
“God’s justice...seems to me
clothed in love. What a sweet joy
it is to think that God is just, i.e.,
that he takes into account our
weakness, that he is perfectly
aware of our fragile nature. What
should I fear then?”
A PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF MERCY
BY POPE FRANCIS
Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like
the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees
you sees God. Show us your face and we will be saved.
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God
who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and
mercy: let us the Church be your visible face in the world.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its
anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of
grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the
blind.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of
Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the
Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
DISASTER RELIEF TODAY
As brothers and sisters of all in need, we have been
asked by Bishop DiMarzio to assist the victims of recent natural disasters in Italy. Special collection will
be taken: on today Sunday, October 9th, for the Italian
earthquake victims. Please be generous, as you always
are in these relief efforts.

Mass to be followed by business meeting in the Church
Auditorium - Kitchen.
BABY BOTTLES TODAY
Bridge Women’s Support Center (formerly The Bridge
to Life) is a pregnancy resource center with locations in
Flushing and Astoria. They provide pro-life counseling
to abortion-minded women. They also give material
assistance (such as clothing, strollers, car seats and
cribs) to thousands of mothers and their children each
year.
They are sponsoring a baby bottle fundraiser here at St.
Teresa’s. There will be bottles at the exit doors during
masses this weekend. Please take one or more home,
fill it up with donations and return it on the weekend of
October 22nd and 23rd.
Please only take a bottle if you are sure you will be
able to return it. Thank you for your support.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
“A Parish Mission” will be conducted in our church by
Fr. Victor Hoagland, a Passionist Priest, on Sunday
thru Tuesday, October 16-18th.
Mission theme: LIVING DAY BY DAY
St. Teresa, patron of our parish, knew what living day
by day meant. She lived that way herself. How do we
do it? By following Jesus Christ each day, by taking
the daily bread God gives us, by doing God’s will.
There’s no other way to live except day by day. St.
Teresa, wise woman you are, be with us during the
days of our Mission! Make them days of blessing!
OCTOBER VOCATION MONTH IN
ST. TERESA’S
During the Month of October, we join our Diocese in
its effort to foster vocations to the priesthood and the
consecrated life. The Angelus is prayed before our daily masses here in St. Teresa’s for the whole month. If
you cannot make it to Church for the week-day 8 am
mass, we ask that you join us in prayer wherever you
are.

SANTA TERESITA HABLA:
“La justicia de Dios...me
parece
vestida de amor. Que alegría dulce es
pensar que Dios es justo, es decir, que
tenga en cuenta nuestra
debilidad, que el es
perfectamente
consciente de nuestra frágil naturaleza.
¿Qué debo temer?
ORACION DEL PAPA FRANCISCO PARA EL
JUBILEO
Señor Jesucristo, tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que
quien te ve, lo ve también a Él. Muéstranos tu rostro y
obtendremos la salvación.
Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible, del Dios
que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia
sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso.
Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción
para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de
gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres, proclamar
la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la
vista a los ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la
Misericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el
Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amen

WORK! WORK! WORK!
Much work is being done in and around the parish
buildings. For years the front porch of the rectory has
been deteriorating, so the railing and the columns are
being replaced, and the wood-work facade of the rectory porch is being repainted.
New and improved lighting is being installed in areas
of the Church, the auditorium and the rectory. The
black wrought iron fence of the rectory has been repainted, thanks to the young volunteers of the Youth
Ministry. The refinishing of the church doors is nearly
completed, thanks to the hard work of Mike Koerber.
Masonry work was done on the outside church walls,
and the biggest project—the new auditorium kitchen
area - is advancing nicely, hopefully to be completed
some time in November. We needed to put off the new
school roof until the summer of 2017 because of a too
late start this past summer.
Some of the work will be paid for by your generosity in
the “Generation of Faith” Campaign. We hope to raise
the rest of the funds through a Thanksgiving raffle and
from donations. We are petitioning the generosity of
individual parishioners, families and parish societies to
assist us. So…… a “Thanksgiving Raffle” of 15 packets of “Fandango Movie” vouchers, $50 value each,
will be sold at $5 a chance or 3 chances for $10. The
vouchers are redeemable at numerous movie theatres.
Drawing will take place Thanksgiving Day, November
24th.
And now about our new Auditorium Kitchen— “The
Pantry Space” will be divided into three “stations”, or
areas, a “Heating Station”, a “Washing Station”, and a
“Preparation and Serving Station.” We are in the process of purchasing commercial appliances, and we are
now accepting donations for them. The following are
approximate costs:
