“There is only ONE
thing to do here below:
to love Jesus, to win
souls for Him so that
He may be loved.
Let us seize with jealous care every least
opportunity of self-sacrifice. Let us refuse
Him nothing – He does so want our love!"
—St. Therese of Liseux (1873-1897)

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
For the greater glory of God...
Dear Parish Family,
You may have noticed the beautiful processional
candles that adorn our main altar. They are a gift
from Don and Paula McLeod to the parish on the
occasion of their 45th wedding anniversary on
March 31. I am deeply grateful for their
generosity and thoughtfulness in giving us these
beautiful candles for our altar servers to lead the
processions at Holy Mass. Thank you, Don and
Paula, for all that you do for our parish. May
God grant you abundant blessings and many
more happy years in your marriage!
In the main sanctuary, you’ll also see that we
have a new sanctuary lamp and a new statue of St.
Therese of Liseux. When I looked back at the
pictures of our church from many years ago, I saw
that two statues used to be present in the main
sanctuary. One was of St. Therese of Liseux and
the other was of the Sacred Heart. St. Therese
was there because she is the co-patron of the
worldwide missions along with St. Francis
Xavier. While St. Francis Xavier traveled as a
missionary to India and Japan, St. Therese never
left the convent to go to the missions. They are
co-patrons of the missions to remind us that what
makes a missionary is not the legs, but the heart.
A missionary is a person whose heart burns with
love for Christ and zeal for souls and therefore
answers to the call of Christ to go and make
disciples of all nations.
Coming in June, the original statue of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus will return to its former
place in the main sanctuary. It is being restored
now and will be re-dedicated and blessed for our
church along with the statue of St. Therese on the
feast of the Sacred Heart on Friday, June 8.
Please stay tuned for more details.
Peace and blessings,
Fr. Rob
