SOMETHING FOUND
SOMETHING LOST
Did you Lose a Very Special Piece of
Jewelry at the Carnival??
Please call the rectory and describe the piece, we would be
very happy to return it to you!
Missing Prayer Book
A good parishioner has lost her precious prayer book. Perhaps
it was left behind in one of the front pews in our church. If
you have found it, please return the prayer book to church.
Thereafter, I will be sure to give it to the parishioner presently
on a search for what has been lost.

Eucharistic Adoration Cancelled for
July 4, 2012
Please donate your gently used shoes
to help Kids in Kenya.
It will resume the following Wednesday, July 11th.
7:00pm – 7:45pm in the church. You’re invited for Evening
Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours (also known as Vespers)
and Benediction. We will provide an easy to follow “script”.
Joe Vidal, a parishioner, a Boy Scout from
Troop 54, a graduate from St. Therese
School, and a junior at Morris Catholic, is
coordinating a donation of shoes to send
to St. Cecelia's, our sister parish in Kenya,
for his Eagle Scout Project. These shoes
would improve the health of the children
by
preventing
diseases
and
infections
that
can
be
contracted through bare feet. If
you have shoes that you do not
have a use for, the children of
St. Cecelia's certainly will.
Congratulations Winter!!
Sneakers and dress shoes would be most helpful but all shoe
donations will be accepted. ALL SIZES are welcome.
EVERY WEDNESDAY
EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Throughout the year, Jesus' Real Presence is celebrated for 12
hours, from 7:30am to 7:30pm at the Adoration
Room/Children's Prayer Room at St. Therese, through
exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and culminating with
Evening Prayer and Benediction. Come and be blessed! Stay
for an hour or even a few minutes. You'll be glad you came!
Evening Prayer & Benediction
Our St. Therese School is proud of eighth grader, Winter
Lauch, for earning the Paterson Home & School Federation
Scholarship. Winter was one of three students in the diocese’s
thirty-five schools who were awarded this honor. In the fall,
Winter will attend Pope John XXIII High School. This is the
second year in a row that a St. Therese School student has
been chosen for this award. We are proud of Winter, her
classmates and teachers for their hard work and dedication.
