perienced the death of a child no matter the age or

Congratulations Congratulations and God’s blessing to Kristina Ventura and
Timothy Banahan who celebrated the Sacrament of Matrimony
on June 23 at St. Theresa Church. As a parish community we pray
that God bless this marriage with Hope that is sure, Faith that is
steady, and a Love that endures.
In today’s gospel, Jesus says very clearly, “Follow me;” Those of us who gath-
er each week at Mass probably consider ourselves followers of Jesus. But are
we disciples? A disciple is a person who prays daily, recognizes the need for
Confession, has put Christ at the center of her/his life, is generous with their
time and treasure, serves the Church, and invites others to know Jesus bet-
ter. If all this seems too difficult, pick one or two practices to focus on. Build
your discipleship one step at a time.
