Pero Dios le dijo: '¡Insensato! Esta misma noche vas a morir. ¿Para quién serán todos tus bienes?' Lo mismo le pasa
al que amontona riquezas para sí mismo y no se hace rico de lo
que vale ante Dios". - Lc 12, 20-21

"
But God said to him, 'You fool, this night your life will be
demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to
whom will they belong?' Thus will it be for all who store up
treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to
God." - Lk 12:20-21

peligroso donde los niños están expuestos a mucho mal. Nuestros
niños necesitan su fe para sobrevivir.
How do we teach and keep the faith in our families?
¿Cómo enseñamos y mantenemos la fe en nuestras familias?
1. Orar en familia. Especialmente rezar la oración de San Miguel
para nuestro mundo.
O San Miguel, Arcángel defiéndenos en la batalla.
Sé nuestra protección contra el mal y las trampas del Diablo;
humildemente te rogamos que Dios los reprenda.
O Príncipe Celestial de la Santa Hostia, que con la ayuda de Dios
echaste a Satanás al infierno y a los espíritus que vagan por el
mundo para arruinar las almas.
Amén.
2. Asistir a misa regularmente en familia y participar en la
Eucaristía cada semana.
3. inscribir a sus hijos en el REP para aprender sobre su fe. El
aprendizaje de su fe no es sólo asistir a clases por un año o dos
para celebrar un sacramento. La fe es una experiencia de
aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida. Los niños deben asistir a clases
todos los años.
4. Como adulto, compartan su fe con nuestros hijos siendo
catequista. ¡Qué gran alegría hay al enseñar a un niño sobre la
bondad del Señor!.
Tenemos que equipar a nuestros hijos con fe para que cuando
salgan al mundo como adultos jóvenes, puedan confiar en Dios
en las buenas y en las malas. Nuestra fe es el don más grande que
tenemos de Jesús. ¡Mantengan la fe!
1. Pray as a family. Especially pray the St Michael prayer for our
world.
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
2. Attend Mass regularly as a family and participate in the
Eucharist every week.
3. Enroll your children in REP to learn about their faith.
Learning your faith is not just attending classes for a year or two
to celebrate a sacrament. Faith is a live long learning experience.
Children should attend classes every year.
4. As an adult, share your faith with our children as a catechist.
What greater joy is there to teach a child about the goodness of
the Lord.
We need to equip our children with faith so that when they
venture out into the world as young adults, they can rely on God
in the good times and in the bad. Our faith is the greatest gift
we have from Jesus. Keep the Faith!

If You are Ill
In order for your Parish family to remain connected with
you when you are ill, please consider doing these things:
1. If you are anticipating a hospital stay, surgery or are
struggling with a significant illness, make an
appointment to receive the sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick .
2. If you are admitted to the hospital, tell hospital staff
that you are Catholic and would like St. Therese Parish
notified of your hospitalization. Due to confidentiality, it
is only then that they can notify us of your admission.
Either Fr. Ryan, Tina, Parish Nurse, or another member of
the St. Therese community will visit you. (If you are
admitted through the Emergency Department, you or your
loved one will need to ask the hospital staff to notify us
when you are admitted to a hospital room.)
3. Finally, and VERY importantly, when you’re
discharged, let St. Therese know that you are home, or
perhaps at a nursing home or rehabilitation center and that
you’d like a visit. If you are unable to call us, let your
loved ones know that you would like them to keep St.
Therese Parish informed of your whereabouts.
Our desire is to provide care to all who are ill.
St. Therese desires to provide care to all who are sick.
With a little information from you about where you are
and what you need, we will be able to provide that care.

NOMINEES
For St. Therese Parish Trustee-Secretary
for the Year 2016-2018
My name is Karen Redlin.
I've been a member of St. Therese
Parish since 1972. I'm married with
3 children and 3 grandchildren. I'm a
retired dental hygienist. I'm a new
member of the parish council (VIA). I've
also recently starting serving part time as a Sacristan. I'm one of the money counting teams. I'm secretary of The Ladies of St. Therese. During the school
year I help out the R.E.P program as a hall monitor.
You may recognize me because I've been a Eucharistic
Minister for many, many years. I enjoy all my volunteer
activities at St. Therese and would be happy to serve
as a trustee, if elected.
My name is Gerry Garcia; I was born on
September 21, 1962 originally from
Uruguay South America. I came to the US
with my parents back in 1974 to the State
of New Jersey. I graduated from Elizabeth
High School. After High school I attended
Kean College in NJ where I obtain a BCS
in Business Administration. After graduation I work in several transportation entities as fleet manager, broker, and administrative positions. In 1987 I was relocated to Wisconsin
and since then, the Fox Valley has been my home. During
this time the transportation company closes their doors in
Wisconsin and I found myself without employment. I found
a position as a mortgage broker in Appleton and later worked
in banking. Experience in banking and the education help me
open my own business in bookkeeping and accounting for
small to midsize businesses. I have been doing that since
2003 till present, in 2011 I returned back to school to the
University of Phoenix and achieve another BCS on Science
in Business looking to better my skills and change career
path to serve business customer better and help the community. In October of 2015 I was offer the opportunity to join a
nonprofit organization in their initiatives in the Fox Valley. I
am now the Regional Director of the Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce (HCCW) and Casa Hispana since November of
2015 and still do bookkeeping for several clients. My job
duties are in workforce development, economic development, and fund raising. I also teach Essential Life Skills during some of programs from HCCW in collaboration with the
Fox Valley Technical College. At last I am also bilingual,
Notary Public, and a licensed Property & Casualty Insurance
agent.
Sincerely,
Gerry Garcia
Regional Director
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin
