A Message from our Pastor...
Dear Friends,
Due to early bulletin deadlines and the fact I was away on retreat for several days, I have not been able to comment on the following
earlier...
Recently, the Supreme Court rendered a decision which legalizes same sex marriage and declares it a constitutional right, which
supersedes individual states from making that decision. This obviously is a significant decision by the Supreme Court as one more
law is declared that is contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church. What will the ramifications of this decision be for Catholics?
Certainly, there is a valid fear that more and more, Catholics are being pushed to the periphery of American culture and life. As a
result, people are concerned that our government will attempt to take away our religious freedoms as Catholics are pushed further
and further away from the "new norm" in American life. There is even fear that churches may one day lose their tax exempt status...
particularly those that don't support government mandates and laws. The "Fortnight for Freedom" that just recently concluded is one
of the ways the U.S. Bishops have tried to raise our consciousness to such a reality as well as urge us to act with our elected
representatives to make sure the voices of this nation's Catholics are heard.
While the institution of marriage is changed drastically by the Supreme Court decision, at least from a civil perspective, it is important
to remember that the Church will not change its teaching on the Sacrament of Matrimony. Archbishop Cupich released a statement
on June 28th on the Supreme Court decision which says the following about the Sacrament of Matrimony: "It is also important to
stress that the Supreme Court’s redefinition of civil marriage has no bearing on the Catholic Sacrament of Matrimony, in which the
marriage of man and woman is a sign of the union of Christ and the Church. In upholding our traditional concept of marriage, we are
called to support those who have entered into this sacred and loving bond with God and each other as a covenantal union with God
between a man and a woman."
In other words, as celebrations of the Sacrament of Matrimony have decreased precipitously in the last several years as more and
more Catholic couples opt for civil celebrations of marriage only and "destination weddings," we all as Catholics need to re-double our
efforts in catechizing why the Sacrament of Matrimony is so critical for Catholic couples who choose to get married. We believe that
marriage is more than a matter of equal rights. It is a question of being faithful to what we believe God intended marriage to be. And
for us Catholics marriage is not only a legalized relationship, but a sacrament that mirrors the love of Christ for his bride the Church.
One temptation in all of this is to participate in gay "bashing" as we voice our concern over the Supreme Court's decision changing
the landscape of marriage. I find this particularly offensive, not only because it is contrary to who we are as children of God to speak
ill of any group of people, but also because there are members of my family who are gay and I would suspect many of us have family
members and friends who are gay as well. Archbishop Cupich comments on this in his statement: "It is important to note that the
Catholic Church has an abiding concern for the dignity of gay persons. In fact, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says: ‘They must
be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.’ (n.
2358). This respect must be real, not rhetorical, and ever reflective of the Church’s commitment to accompanying all people. For this
reason, the Church must extend support to all families, no matter their circumstances, recognizing that we are all relatives, journeying
through life under the careful watch of a loving God."
It is important that we continue to pray for the conversion of the leadership of our country that they may be drawn more and more to a
recognition of divine providence in their lives as well as ours. It is just as important that we as Christians and as Catholics make our
voices heard by those that have been elected. If every voting Catholic made their presence known to this county's leadership, it would
make a difference. The old political axiom that says, "votes count" would definitely be highlighted when leaders recognize that a large
number of their constituents are Catholic.
Enjoy the week and God bless you all.

The Building On Our Faith Together Capital Campaign is entering
its final phase of solicitation but there is still much work to be done
to get the full participation of our parish. This campaign is about
being good stewards of the blessings that St. Theresa Parish has
received from God. Blessings such as the beautiful church in
which we worship, the school in which our children learn and the
social areas in which we come together as a community of faith.
We are blessed by the generosity of our members who continue to
support the parish through the gifts of time, talent, and treasure. It
is our responsibility to be good stewards of our blessings and
preserve them for future members of St. Theresa Parish.

ON-GOING INVITATION TO SMILE!
…from Fr. Dennis
We need to live in Christian joy!
Holy Scripture continually mentions Christian joy as the heart
of Christian living.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,
and that your joy may be full.
John 15:11
FOOD PANTRY COLLECTION
And some famous, and not so famous, people have
encouraged people to exhibit joy.
For July 18-19
I call the New Testament the Book of Joy. There is nowhere
in the world another book that is pervaded with such a spirit of
exhilaration.
Most needed: Toilet Paper, Juice, Dish Soap,
Tooth Paste, Peas, Pears, Sugar, Mayo
