 Notes from the Office

 

 

Pastor's Notes:

Thank you to all who helped out and kept the Parish in prayer during the Sean Powers funeral.  This tragedy has affected many communities.  May God use this terrible situation and provide us with the proper direction to follow.  Please keep Marilyn and Peter Powers and their family in your special prayers.

 

Offertory Envelopes: If you attend St. Mary's Parish for Mass and place your contribution envelope in their collection basket, the envelope will be returned to St. Theresa.  Likewise, when St. Mary parishioners come here, they are welcome to use their St. Mary envelopes, and those are forwarded back to St. Mary Parish in Hillsboro.

 

Recently Baptized: Fr. Mark baptized Jacob Collar, son of Christopher and Joanna Collar of Deering, and Samuel Farmer, son of Brian and Keira Farmer of Warner.  Please pray for them as they continue to grow in God's grace.

 

Dick & Linda Mueller's 40th Wedding Anniversary:  Dick and Linda Mueller are renewing their vows at the 10:30 a.m. Mass on August 31st.  A reception for family and friends to follow in St. Theresa Parish Hall.  Please join us.
