GOD LOVES
A CHEERFUL GIVER 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
My sheep hear my voice,
I know them,
and they follow me. JN 10:27
GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER
Stewardship St Theresa ended the Fiscal Year 2018 with a $159,000 shortage in our Stewardship donations from our budget. We have been holding a $176,000 balance in our savings account for several years. Due to the stewardship shortfall, we used $100,000 of our savings for parish operating expenses. Our new fiscal year started on July 1, 2018, and we are thankful for all our new cheer-ful givers and the givers that increased their stewardship donations. We would like to give a special thank you to all givers that contribute with several generous one-time donations to help us with the shortfall. Every gift made through the offertory collection, online or through automatic withdrawals makes a world of differ-ence to the ministries, programs, and works of St. Theresa. Help us to continue to serve well through your cheerful giving every Sunday all year long!
INTRODUCING ST. THERESA'S NEW YOUTH MINISTER
Welcome to our Parish We welcome Fr. Pascal Kumanda to
St. Theresa this weekend. He is here representing Cross Catholic Outreach; a Catholic ministry run by priests, nuns, and Catholic lay leaders that
delivers food, shelter, medicines, and hope to the poorest of the poor.
Please be generous to this worthy cause!
Hello Everyone!
My name is Joseph Blanco and I am extremely blessed and excited to join the St. Theresa family as your new Youth Minis-ter! I was born and raised in the great city of Houston Texas and I have been working in youth ministry for the Archdiocese for almost 10 years. I started at 15 like every other teenager, not eager about my faith at all, but the good Lord seems to have his way and I answered the call and never looked back since. My goal is simple, and that is to show that the young church is alive and well and we are ready to make a lot of noise! In the words of 1 Timothy 4:12, "Don't Let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.". I am extremely looking forward to sharing my love and faith with our young church and to help them in their spir-itual journey. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or 713-869-3783 ext. 329, I am her e to serve you all.
Many Blessings! Joseph Blanco

FAITH FORMATION
Faith Formation is equipping people to live as
Disciples of Jesus. In his latest book, Generations
Together, John Roberto reaffirms a traditional,
but very rich notion that “faith formation in-
forms, forms, and transforms the person—
whether child, youth, or adult—into a robust,
vital, and life-giving Catholic Faith that is
holistic: a way of the head, the heart,
and the hands.”

PARDON OUR PROGRESS
The area in front of the Church office and running behind the two
handicap parking spots will be prepared for a new sanitary line. Steel
plates have been added so that parishioners and visitors can carefully
use the handicap spaces for parking as needed. We ask that you be
careful as this is a construction area and the ground is not level. When
complete this line will be the sanitary connection for the new Narthex building. Thank you for
your support and understanding during construction.
You may have walked by the mock up wall that was started this week, it is located between the Church office and the Fellowship Hall. A mock up wall is built around the time or in con-junction with a pre-installation meeting with the design team and the subcontractors. Listed below are the four main reasons to install a mock up wall during a project:
1. Confirm correctness for installation 2. Seamless integration between the new construction and the existing buildings 3. Review constructability to insure the capability and correctness of materials 4. Set the quality of work standards

PRESENTANDO AL NUEVO MINISTRO JUVENIL DE STA. TERESA
Bienvenidos a
Nuestra Parroquia
Este fin de semana de damos la bienvenida al Padre Pascal Kumanda a Santa Teresa. Él está aquí representando a
Cross Catholic Outreach; un ministerio católico dirigido por sacerdotes, religiosas y líderes laicos católicos que entregan alimentos, refugio, medicinas y esperanza a los más pobres
¡Por favor se generoso con esta buena causa!
¡Hola a todos!
Mi nombre es Joseph Blanco. Es una bendición y estoy muy emocionado en unirme a la familia de Sta. Teresa como su nue-vo ministro juvenil. Nací y crecí en la gran ciudad de Houston, Texas, y he trabajado en el ministerio juvenil de la Arquidióce-sis durante casi 10 años. Comencé a los 15 años como cualquier otro adolescente, no estaba muy ansioso por mi fe en lo absoluto, pero el Dios parece tener un camino para cada uno y respondí a su llamado y nunca miré hacia atrás desde entonc-es. Mi objetivo es simple, solo es mostrar que los jovenes en la iglesia están vivos y listos para hacer mucho ruido. En las palabras de la Primera Epístola a Timoteo 4:12, “Que nadie menosprecie tu juventud. Procura, en cambio, ser para los creyentes modelo en la palabra, en el comportamiento, en la caridad, en la fe, en la pureza.” Tengo muchas ganas de com-partir mi amor y fe con nuestros jovenes en la iglesia y ayudar-los en su viaje espiritual. No dudes en ponerte en contacto con-migo en [email protected] o 713-869-3783 ext. 329, estoy aquí para servirles a todos.
¡Muchas bendiciones! Joseph Blanco
