TERESA STAFF NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME RECTOR The Reverend Christopher R. Heanue On this Sunday, we continue to read from the “Bread of [email protected] Life discourse” found in the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel. PAROCHIAL VICAR Recall that we have been reading from this chapter for the The Reverend Pascal Louis [email protected] past two weeks and will continue to read from it for another two. Last week, the crowd asked for a sign that would show PRIESTS IN RESIDENCE that Jesus came from God. Jesus replied by saying that he The Reverend Monsignor Sean G. Ogle [email protected] is the sign and the bread of life sent by God. At this point, our Lectionary omits six verses in which Jesus predicts the The Reverend Sebastián Sardo unbelief of the crowd and further develops his connection DEACON with God the Father. In these verses, Jesus says that he was Deacon Fausto Duran sent by God to do the Father’s will. Jesus promises that tho- [email protected] se who look upon the Son with faith will find eternal life. DEACON/RCIA DIRECTOR Some of these themes are repeated in today’s Gospel reading. Deacon Manuel H. Quintana [email protected] Today’s Gospel begins with a report that the Jews complained about Jesus’ claims RELIGIOUS EDUCATION regarding his identity. They knew his family, and they knew he was the son of Jo- Ms. Jessica Figueroa seph. They could not comprehend what Jesus meant when he said that he came [email protected] down from heaven. Jesus responds to the complaints by saying that only those who Mrs. Brenda Donald are chosen by God will recognize him as the one that God sent. This is a recurring [email protected] theme in John’s Gospel, that God has chosen those who will have faith in Jesus. PARISH SECRETARY In the verses that follow, Jesus talks more about his unity with the Father. He is the Fabiola Edmond one who has seen the Father and, therefore, knows the Father. Those who listen [email protected] to God will recognize that Jesus is the one sent from God. Those who believe will BOOKKEEPER have eternal life. Jesus concludes with the central element of our eucharistic theo- Bill Slattery logy. He promises that the bread of life will bring eternal life to those who partake [email protected] of it, and he tells us that the bread of life will be his own flesh, given for the life of MUSIC DIRECTOR the world. Mr. Alejandro Zuleta [email protected] In today’s reading, we hear Jesus say again, as he did in last week's Gospel, that he BULLETIN is the bread of life. We also hear Jesus add that he is the living bread. Both of these Alma Ramales statements help us understand better the gift that Jesus gives us in the Eucharist. [email protected] We celebrate this gift of Jesus each time we gather for Mass. We believe that recei- YOUNG ADULTS ving Jesus in the Eucharist will lead us to eternal life.

2 THE CO-CATHEDRAL ST. TERESA OF AVILA OF SAINT JOSEPH SAINT DOMINIC
Today, August 8th, we celebrate the Feast Day of Saint Dominic. Take the time to learn more about Saint Dominic and his importance to our faith. MASS INTENTIONS FOR AUGUST 7 - 8, 2021 If he hadn’t taken a trip with his bishop, Dominic would probably have remained within the structu- SATURDAY re of contemplative life; after the trip, he spent the 5:00 PM Myrtha Louverture rest of his life being a contemplative in active apos- (Birthday) tolic work. 6:30 PM Mireille Hall Born in old Castile, Spain, Dominic was trained (Thanksgiving) for the priesthood by a priest-uncle, studied the SUNDAY arts and theology, and became a canon of the ca- 9:00 AM Carmelle Fervil thedral at Osma, where there was an attempt to re- (Thanksgiving) vive the apostolic common life described in Acts of the Apostles. 10:00 AM +Wibert C. Patris On a journey through France with his bishop, 11:00 AM +Robert E. Polius Dominic came face to face with the then virulent Albigensian heresy at Languedoc. The Albigen- 1:30 PM +Lolita Alquedan sians--or Cathari, “the pure ones”--held to two & +Maria Carmelita Alquedan principles—one good, one evil—in the world. All matter is evil—hence they denied the Incarnation and the sacraments. On the 6:00 PM +Unita Modeste same principle, they abstained from procreation and took a minimum of food and drink. The inner circle led what some people regarded as a heroic life of purity and asceticism not shared by ordinary followers. Dominic sensed the need for the Church to combat this heresy, and was com- missioned to be part of the preaching crusade against it. He saw immediately why the preaching crusade was not succeeding: the ordinary people admired and followed the ascetical heroes of the Albigenses. Understandably, they were not impressed by the Catholic preachers who traveled with horse and retinues, stayed at the best inns and had servants. Dominic therefore, with three Cister- LECTORS FOR cians, began itinerant preaching according to the gospel ideal. He continued AUGUST 14 - 15, 2021 this work for 10 years, being successful with the ordinary people but not with AUGUST 14 the leaders. 5:00 PM - Dolores Guillaume His fellow preachers gradually became a community, and in 1215 Dominic 6:30 PM - TBD founded a religious house at Toulouse, the beginning of the Order of Preachers or Dominicans.

3 THE CO-CATHEDRAL ST. TERESA OF AVILA OF SAINT JOSEPH BLESSED MICHAEL MCGIVNEY
Today, August 8th, we celebrate the Feast Day of Blessed Michael McGivney. Take the time to learn more about Blessed Michael McGivney and his importance to our faith.
The eldest son of an immigrant Irish family in Connecticut, young Michael left school at 13 to work in a brass factory making spoons. At 16 he began studies for the priesthood in Quebec, but was obliged to leave to help support the family when his father died. Michael completed his education in Baltimore, Maryland, and was ordained for the diocese of Hartford in 1877. Assigned to St. Mary’s Parish in New Haven, Fr. McGivney was very active in parish and civic affairs, serving as director of public plays and fairs. He volunteered to become the guardian of Alfred Downes, a minor whose father had died leaving a large family in poverty. This si- tuation as well as his own family's circumstances and that of other immigrants impressed on Fr. McGivney the need for lay Catholic men to establish a mutual aid society to provide financial assistance for their families if the primary wage earner died. Protestant fraternal groups already provided this type of life insu- rance protection for their members. In 1882, Fr. McGivney formed the Knights of Columbus among a small group of St. Mary's parishioners to pro- mote charity, unity, and fraternity, assisting widows and orphans. Because of the Knights' emphasis on serving Church, community and family, the organization grew and did not remain strictly parish-based. Patriotism was added as a founding principle in 1900. Father McGivney died from pneumonia in 1890 and was buried in Thomaston, Connecticut. Later his body was moved back to St. Mary’s in New Haven where it remains today. He was beatified in 2020.

4 THE CO-CATHEDRAL ST. TERESA OF AVILA OF SAINT JOSEPH DISCIPLESHIP IS STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION!
As disciples, we are challenged to seek Christ actively and not be satisfied with the status quo of our lives. The disciple is not afraid to take on new and challenging responsibilities while thinking “outside the box.” The disciple displays the face of God! Truly, God longs to know us and love us uncon- ditionally, if we will just allow Him. But, would others know I am a disciple of Christ? How can you express your discipleship, your relationship with Him? Prayerfully consider becoming a part of the following ministries: Lector, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion or Usher. If you feel you are being called to one or more of these ministries, contact 718-638-1071 or 718- 622-6504 ¡EL DISCIPULADO ES ADMINISTRACIÓN EN ACCIÓN! Como discípulos, tenemos el desafío de buscar a Cristo activamente y no estar satisfechos con el status quo de nuestras vidas. El discípulo no tiene miedo de asumir responsabilidades nuevas y desafiantes mientras piensa "fuera de la caja". ¡El discípulo muestra el rostro de Dios! En verdad, Dios anhela conocernos y amarnos incondicionalmente, si se lo permitimos. Pero, ¿sabrían los demás que soy un discípulo de Cristo? ¿Cómo puedes expresar tu discipulado, tu relación con él? Considere, en oración, convertirse en parte de los siguientes ministerios: Lector, Ministro Extraordinario de la Sagrada Comunión o Usher. Si siente que está siendo llamado a uno o más de estos ministerios, llame al 718-638-1071 o al 718-622-6504 LE DISCIPULAT, C'EST L'INTENDANCE EN ACTION! En tant que disciples, nous sommes mis au défi de rechercher le Christ active- ment et de ne pas être satisfaits du statu quo de nos vies. Le disciple n'a pas peur d'assumer des responsabilités nouvelles et stimulantes tout en pensant « hors des sentiers battus ». Le disciple affiche le visage de Dieu ! Vraiment, Dieu désire nous connaître et nous aimer inconditionnellement, si nous le permettons simplement. Mais, est-ce que d'autres sauraient que je suis un disciple du Christ ? Comment pouvez-vous exprimer votre statut de disciple, votre relation avec Lui ? Envisager, dans la prière, de faire partie des ministères suivants: lecteur, ministre extraordinaire de la sain- te communion ou huissier. Si vous vous sentez appelé à un ou plusieurs de ces ministères, contactez le bureau du presbytère Au 718-638-1071 ou au 718-622-6500
