A Reverent Reunion Bishop Emeritus Armando Ochoa Attends Retirement Mass for his Former Vicar General, Msgr. Ray Dreiling Message from Msgr. Dreiling to his parishioners “I have come to the age when it’s time for me to step aside from the daily challenges of parish administration and pastoral responsibilities to begin a new path forward to serve the Lord as a humble disciple and priest. Bishop Brennan has graciously accepted my request to resign from the pastoral care of the Shrine of St. Therese and to begin my retirement journey on August 1st. I have been privileged to serve this wonderful community of faith for a little over five years. There have been many challenges and even more blessings and graces along the way, and together we have built a community dedicated to God’s glory and for service to one another. Please welcome your new pastor, Father Iván Hernández- Melchor, with the warmth and love and cooperation you have given me. I am deeply and forever grateful to all of you. Thank you for the privilege and grace to serve you and to accompany you as your pastor. This time together at St. Thérèse will always remain in my heart. Pray for me as I promise to do for all of you.”
The Catholic Daughters, Court St. John #2526 donated $1,000.00 to Vicente and Maria Garza. They had a terrible fire a while ago and it burned down their meeting room where retreats and other faith-based organizational events took place. The Catholic Daughters are hoping this donation will help with their building expenses. Hope Rises From the Ashes
