Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus

Dear Parishioners, Fall has finally arrived. Colder nights, falling leaves, and shorter days are now here. It reminds me of my time with my classmates in seminary. As a way to bring New England Fall to our seminary in Rome one night in October we would make cider, mulled wine, squash and butternut soups, assorted pies, and other autumnal foods. After enjoying a meal together, we would listen to the audio recording of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The exhaustive description of foods at the harvest party at the Van Tassels’ homestead was part of the inspiration for our meal. Fortunately, New England Fall is all around us here in Rhode Island.

There is nothing better in the spiritual life than the Mass. With the Mass, Jesus Christ left us a concrete link to himself as well as spiritual nourishment. There is the need for ministers at each Mass to help with the worship of God. One such minister is the altar server. This is an important ministry at St. Teresa Church. I come asking that you, and your child(ren), consider volunteering to serve in this essential role. It is open to children in grades three and above, and you can choose which Mass times are most convenient to serve. It is never too late to start serving. Training Schedule: Monday, November 15: 4:00pm-5:00pm Tuesday, November 16: 4:00pm-5:00pm Wednesday, November 17: 4:00pm-5:00pm Thursday, November 18: 4:00pm-5:00pm.
