A Message from Our Pastor...
Dear Friends,
The Little Sisters of the Poor won a significant victory in the U.S. Supreme Court a few weeks ago. This certainly is good news for
them and the rest of the U.S. Catholic Church, particularly as we approach the yearly “Fortnight for Freedom,” from June 21st to July
4th - so designated by the USCCB (U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops) to pray for religious liberty in our country. The news release
from the Little Sisters website follows:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today [May 16th] the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously protected the Little Sisters of the Poor from draconian
government fines and recognized that the government does not need the Little Sisters to provide services such as the week after pill.
The Court also noted the government finally admitted it could indeed meet its goals without involving the Little Sisters.
In its decision, the Supreme Court held that after its unprecedented call for supplemental briefing that the lower courts should again
review the cases.
“All we have ever wanted to do is serve the neediest among us as if they were Christ himself,” said Sister Loraine Marie Maguire,
Mother Provincial for the Little Sisters of the Poor. “We look forward to serving the elderly poor for another 175 years to come.”
“This is a game-changer,” said Mark Rienzi, senior counsel at The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. “The Court has accepted the
government’s concession that it can get drugs to people without using the Little Sisters. The Court has eliminated all of the bad
decisions from the lower courts. And the Court has forbidden the government from fining the Little Sisters even though they are
refusing to bow to the government’s will. It is only a matter of time before the lower courts make this victory permanent.”
Less than a week after the Supreme Court heard the case of the Little Sisters of the Poor in March, the Court made an
unprecedented move asking both sides to provide additional arguments about whether the government could find ways to distribute
contraceptives without the involvement of religious non-profits and their health plans. The religious non-profits responded to the
Supreme Court: “Yes.”
The government exempts 1 in 3 Americans from the HHS mandate. It also exempts large corporations such as Exxon, Visa and even
the government’s own military family plan. A total of 100 million Americans are exempt from this regulation.
The Little Sisters’ win was also a win for other Becket clients, including Christian Brothers Services, Christian Brothers Employee
Benefit Trust, Houston Baptist and East Texas Baptist Universities, Reaching Souls International, Truett-McConnell College, and
GuideStone Financial Services of the Southern Baptist Convention. Other parties in this case include Geneva College, Southern
Nazarene University, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington, and the Most Reverend David A. Zubik. All of these clients also
had the adverse decisions in their cases vacated and sent back to the lower courts.
Paul D. Clement of Bancroft, PLLC presented the oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court. Noel J. Francisco of Jones Day also
presented arguments on behalf of several other ministries. The Little Sisters of the Poor are represented by the Becket Fund for
Religious Liberty, Locke Lord LLP, and Professor Kevin Walsh of the University of Richmond Law School.
For more information about the case, visit www.thelittlesistersofthepoor.com.
In other news… construction began in earnest on Tuesday, May 31st, with a great deal of work being done already! Each week during
construction, we will devote a page of photos detailing the progress in our weekly bulletin and we will also have updates on our parish
website: www.sttheresachurch.org. Please pray for the continued success of our project and for the safety of our construction
workers.
Enjoy the week and God bless you all.

An evangelizer lives in Christian joy!
Holy Scripture, daily conversion and story-telling form the
basis of evangelization.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
A pearl of wisdom from Fr. Dennis Stafford’s book “A
Courageous Leap of Faith”:
The human condition – our expressed stories – is filled
with powerful words. We want them to be heard and
understood because humankind survives on its words.
Share this thought with friend and stranger:
The Holy Spirit would appear to create disorder in the
Church, since he brings the diversity of charisms and
gifts; yet all this, by his working, is a great source of
wealth, for the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of unity, which
does not mean uniformity, but which leads everything
back to harmony.
Pope Francis

A Disciple of Jesus in the New Evangelization
