Welcome from the Religious Education
Director: Sr. Eileen Burns

 would like to introduce myself.  My name is Sister Eileen Burns, O.S.F.  I am a Sister of Saint Francis.  I'm delighted to join the St. Theresa Parish Family as the new Director of Religious Education.  It will be a great blessing to me to take care of the children who attend Public School and their parents.  I also will be present in our wonderful Catholic School helping to prepare the children for the Family Mass on Sundays and for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation.  The weekly Mass at 10:30 a.m. is a great way to start out your week.  It is an old saying, but it is true, the family that prays together stays together.

The vocation of all of us is to give good example to our children, more by what we do than by what we say.  When you, as parents, brought your children to be baptized into the Church, you promised to bring them up in the practice of the Faith.  How are you doing in keeping that promise?  Let us work together, so that what our Parish children learn in their Religion classes is practiced with Joy and Fidelity each moment of our lives.  We want to be joyful followers of Jesus, making a difference in our Parish family and the whole world.  A great way to be joyful is to put...

J - Jesus first
O - others, next
Y - yourself last.

God bless you, as Saint Francis would say, "Good people, I wish you Peace and all good."

Sister Eileen
