Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
Parish Mission Statement
The Roman Catholic Family of Blessed Teresa
of Calcutta Parish recognizes the importance
of following in the footsteps of our patroness
in sharing our time, talent and treasure.
Through ordinary and simple actions, we strive
to teach and spread the Catholic faith, leading
all to know God in a personal and loving way.
In the celebration of the Eucharist, the parish
community receives energy to care for the
needs of all people through acts of kindness
and love.
Dear Parishioners,
Today’s Gospel reminds us of Jesus’ presence in our
lives at the most challenging times of our lives. The
woman in the Gospel had lost her husband and her only
son. Into this absolute dire pain, Jesus intercedes. As the
young man is commanded to arise, his mother’s
emotional and spiritual life arises. As Jesus did this for
this young man and his mother, He can do for us.
Fr. Brandt
Remember that the Passion of Christ ends always in the
joy of the Resurrection of Christ, so when you fell in;
your own heart the suffering of Christ, remember the
resurrection has to come, the joy of Easter has to dawn.
Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make
you forget the joy of the risen Christ.
Mother Teresa
MOTHER TERESA
CANONIZATION PILGRIMAGE
