A Message from our Associate Pastor...
Dear Parish Family,
The season of Christmas is concluding once again and one would think that after celebrating this same event for some two
thousand years human cultures would finally get tired of it all. The fact is, I think, that in our modern task-oriented culture,
we hardly have any real excuses to pause and consider the things that matter to us the most. At the least, Christmas for
both Christians and non-Christians alike, becomes the culturally enforced excuse to give somewhat meaningful gifts to
those other than ourselves. I think that we need Christmas to remind us of people and to remind us that we have friends.
But even more importantly, it is that time of the year that somehow manages to creep up on us unexpectedly with the
sudden and dreadful thought of God. After all, Christmas represents in time what God generated in eternity – the mingling
of blood and divinity in the fabric of our collective human family. And as the story goes, the foreign exchange of immortality
with mortality becomes a real and historical event in that first and blessed body of water in the tiny womb of Mary.
From the moment you and I became living things, knit together in the secret wombs of moms and our hearts became
spoiled by curious looks and the love of mothers and fathers, and ever since the moment we learned to manage our
thoughts and memories into cohesive patterns of self-identity, we’ve longed to belong. And as we’ve learned to reason,
we’ve also learned to compromise our wild imaginings as if reason and desire were never meant to exist in the same
place. I think we’ve placed an over-glorified virtue to independence and self-accomplishment, all the while neglecting the
very thing that makes us who we are, which is each other. Now we just get lost in the strange circumstance of being
unable to put a name to that persistent and annoying
ache in those deep places within us, which we
sometimes shove off as some residue of a bygone trait
that finds no bearing in our evolved lives. Yet, there is a
whole universe in every man, woman and child, and
perhaps we find ourselves frighteningly alone within our
own empty spaces. We hope, as it were, only to be
found, discovered, and treasured.
As we leave the Christmas season behind, let’s not
abandon the awakening that it came here to bring, the
definitive harkening of the possibility to love God, self,
stranger, and life once again, or maybe for the first time.
As the very quotable John O’Donohue once wrote, “It is
difficult to love yourself, if you are not first loved. When
you are loved, your heart rushes forth in the joy of the
dance of life…Love somehow transfigures the sad
gravity of life…Like someone who has been lost for
years in a forgotten place, you rejoice in being found.”
And what a joy it truly is to hear the words which define
the life of every Christian sensibility “You are my
beloved Son” – words, which, once uttered to the Son of
God suddenly became words uttered to the rest of us.
At the end of the day, the greatest truth is not that we
are very alone but that we are very together, wrapped in
the awesome mystery of Trinitarian love.
Peace and Blessings,
Fr. Matt

Age 70 ½ and older...
You can make a tax-free gift
from your IRA.
How? With an Individual Retirement Account “IRA” Charitable
Rollover, also called a “qualified charitable distribution.”
What is an IRA Charitable Rollover? An IRA Charitable
Rollover is a direct transfer of up to $100,000 from your
Traditional IRA to a qualified charity like St. Theresa Parish.
Who is eligible to make an IRA Charitable Rollover? Any
owner of a Traditional IRA who is at least 70½ years old is
eligible.
How does an IRA Charitable Rollover benefit me? Because
the donation is made directly to St. Theresa Parish, you benefit
by not having to count the donated amount as income for tax
purposes - this can be particularly helpful in excluding all or part
of your required minimum distribution.
How long do I have to act? Under the new law enacted by
Congress and signed by the President, the IRA Charitable
Rollover is now permanently available. You can take advantage
of this unique charitable giving tool each year.
How do I make an IRA Charitable Rollover?
Contact your IRA trustee or administrator and
instruct them to make the contribution from
your IRA directly to St. Theresa Parish. They
will have forms for you to complete.

FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR...
“And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the
angel, praising God and saying ‘Glory to God in the highest’ “
- Luke 2: 13-14
One of the most humbling and joyful parts of my job as director of
music is accompanying a singing assembly. There is nothing
quite like the joy and beauty of hearing people gathered together,
singing all around you. During the Advent season our quiet
entrance processions were simply beautiful as your voices
supported the unaccompanied melodies of O Come, O Come
Emmanuel and Creator of the Stars . What a joyful contrast it
was to then hear the familiar Christmas carols being sung by
great crowds at the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day liturgies,
loud and joyous, all of us sharing in the angel’s song of ‘Glory to
God in the highest.’
Thank you, community of St. Theresa, for sharing the exquisite
joy of the Christmas season with the gift of your voice in song.
When everyone sings together, we are united in the purpose of
praising God, just like the multitude of heavenly hosts referred to
in Luke’s Gospel. Singing as a parish community is not about the
quality of our voices but the joy of all of us coming together to
sing as one.
No matter how strong or weak, great or not so great your voice
might be, your participation in our sung prayer makes a
difference. May the joyful sounds of music that richly filled our
Christmas season continue to fill our liturgies as we sing together
as a parish family.

43rd ANNIVERSARY OF ROE v. WADE DAILY HERALD AD PROJECT
On January 22, 2016 we will mourn the 43rd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision
legalizing abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Since that fateful day, over 56 million unborn
children have lost their lives to abortion. At least as many women and men are living with a lifetime of
regret. (See help-line below)
•
•

Hugs for the Homebound
Do you know someone in a nursing home or homebound
who could use a “hug”?
The Respect Life Team, in coordination with the Ministry of Care and St. Theresa School, is beginning a new outreach program.
We will be sending monthly cards of prayer and encouragement to your relatives and friends who are homebound or in a nursing
home. This small gesture can provide prayerful comfort and support to those in special need of healing and consolation. We
want them know that their brothers and sisters in Christ have not forgotten them.
Recipients do not need to be parishioners. They can reside in or out of our parish.
Through the program:
1. They will receive a greeting card in the mail every month signed by students at St. Theresa School.
2. They will be prayed for every month by the students.
To have a note sent:
Please email or call Deacon Steve Norys ([email protected] or 847-358-7760 x.110) with names and addresses of the
people who could use a "hug."
