―Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because <strong>of</strong> them.‖ <strong>Blessed</strong> <strong>Teresa</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calcutta</strong><br />

Preparing for the trip to Pine Ridge<br />

Christmas gifts for Red Cloud School, Pine Ridge, SD.<br />

From Jacyntha Shaw: As you are reading this bulletin on this beautiful Sunday morning,<br />

your gifts <strong>of</strong> clothing, toys, food and school supplies are on their way to South Dakota for<br />

our 9 th Annual Christmas Mission. The people <strong>of</strong> Pine Ridge have come to pray that we can<br />

make the journey each year. They are so appreciative <strong>of</strong> all our help.<br />

I reflect over the past eight trips and see how much it has changed, from a SUV full to a<br />

16-ft box truck full. How many more people in this area dig a little deeper in their<br />

pockets, watch for sales in February and sacrifice more so we can make life brighter for<br />

the Native American people in Pine Ridge. Thank you!<br />

<strong>Blessed</strong> <strong>Teresa</strong> parish is a fine example <strong>of</strong> how Jesus wants us to celebrate his birth.<br />

United in Faith, Working Together to Worship God and to Serve God’s People.<br />

et us pray: "That at Christmas the peoples <strong>of</strong> the earth may recognize in the Word Incarnate the light which illuminates every man,<br />

L and that the nations may open their doors to Christ, the Saviour <strong>of</strong> the world". Pope Benedict XVI<br />

December 7, 2009<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

We wait in joyful hope for the coming <strong>of</strong> our Savior Jesus<br />

Christ. Not only do we await the Lord’s coming in glory but also his<br />

renewed presence in our daily lives. This is the annual challenge <strong>of</strong><br />

Advent as we commemorate His birth on December 25 th .<br />

A time <strong>of</strong> ―waiting‖ must always be for us a time <strong>of</strong><br />

preparation. What is important we plan for. According to present<br />

Diocesan policy, I can retire at age 68. I will be 66 in January. As<br />

Christians we look to the future with hope and faith.<br />

As you know in 2007 we purchased 20 plus acres on Hwy VV.<br />

We have also completed a feasibility study pertaining to a new<br />

Church on that land. Renderings which were completed by Plunkett<br />

Raysich Architects hang in the corridor outside Clare Hall in our<br />

<strong>Parish</strong> Center.<br />

I believe that when I retire (if not before), there should be a<br />

definite sense <strong>of</strong> direction for our future. The consensus <strong>of</strong><br />

parishioners would be critical information to share with my successor.<br />

Recently, I have appointed an ad hoc committee to address the<br />

above concern. While I didn’t seek ―yes‖ people who agree with<br />

me on each facet <strong>of</strong> our parish future, I did look for people who, I<br />

believe, were ―open‖ and ―hopeful‖ in moving our parish into the<br />

future. The following parishioners accepted an appointment to this<br />

ad hoc committee:<br />

Kim Dax<br />

Rich Kreuser<br />

Dianne Lassa<br />

Sue Retzlaff<br />

Brian Walsh<br />

Kurt Weis<br />

Dick Wilkey<br />

We will move forward deliberately and stay in communication<br />

with you our parishioners, Diocesan and District leaders,<br />

congregations <strong>of</strong> our parish cluster, and our new Archbishop Jerome<br />

Listecki. There is presently no timeline on the extent <strong>of</strong> our ad hoc<br />

committee’s existence. Please keep this project and committee<br />

members in prayer. You will be part <strong>of</strong> any final recommendations<br />

as we move forward. We don’t know what the future holds but we<br />

do know Who holds the future.<br />

Faithfully in the Lord,<br />

Fr. Tony McCarthy, Pastor<br />

Our parish cluster: St. Anthony on the Lake, Pewaukee, <strong>Blessed</strong><br />

<strong>Teresa</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calcutta</strong>, North Lake & Monches, St. Charles, Hartland,<br />

and Queen <strong>of</strong> Apostles, Pewaukee.<br />

Advent Communal Penance Service<br />

Monday, December 14, 7:00 pm<br />

During Advent, the parishes <strong>of</strong> St. Anthony on the Lake,<br />

St. Charles, Queen <strong>of</strong> Apostles, and <strong>Blessed</strong> <strong>Teresa</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calcutta</strong> will<br />

hold a Communal Penance Service at St. Charles in Hartland. All<br />

parishioners are encouraged to participate in this Sacrament to<br />

prepare for the holy season <strong>of</strong> Christmas. We will not have a<br />

penance service at <strong>Blessed</strong> <strong>Teresa</strong> during Advent.<br />

Dear <strong>Parish</strong>ioners,<br />

The grace and peace <strong>of</strong> the Lord be with<br />

you on our Advent journey!<br />

John 6:51<br />

Presently, several parish members have been<br />

trained as Companions <strong>of</strong> the Eucharist. They will assist<br />

me, as needed, in taking the <strong>Blessed</strong> Sacrament to the<br />

homebound, nursing facilities and hospitals.<br />

May I ask a favor? If you have any desire to<br />

receive the Eucharist for a family member, etc., please<br />

call Mary Jo Romportl, my administrative assistant,<br />

at 966-2191. Both she and I will schedule Eucharistic visits.<br />

Please do not call the parish nurse, the St. Vincent<br />

de Paul members or the Christian Concerns committee.<br />

All visits will be arranged through the parish <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />

Thanks so much for your cooperation!<br />

Fr. Tony<br />

How to Contact Our Troops for Christmas and Messages<br />

On Oct. 30, 2002, the Department <strong>of</strong> Defense (DoD) suspended the<br />

"Operation Dear Abby" and "Any Servicemember" mail programs due to<br />

force protection concerns. Although these programs provide an excellent<br />

means <strong>of</strong> support to friends and loved ones stationed overseas, they also<br />

provide an avenue to introduce hazardous substances or materials into the<br />

mail system from unknown sources. Unsolicited mail, packages and<br />

donations from organizations and individuals also compete for limited<br />

airlift space used to transport supplies, war-fighting material and mail<br />

from family and loved ones.<br />

Recently, DoD has become aware <strong>of</strong> organizations and individuals who<br />

continue to support some form <strong>of</strong> the "Any Servicemember" program by<br />

using the names and addresses <strong>of</strong> individual service members and unit<br />

addresses. These programs are usually supported by well-intentioned,<br />

thoughtful and patriotic groups who are simply unaware <strong>of</strong> the new risks<br />

facing deployed military forces. Some individuals and groups publicize<br />

the names and addresses <strong>of</strong> service members, ships or units on Web sites,<br />

with good intentions. The result, however, is a potential danger to the<br />

troops they wish to support.<br />

DoD cannot support creative and well-intentioned efforts that defeat<br />

force protection measures, but can instead recommend alternatives to mail<br />

and donation programs. To show support to troops overseas, the following<br />

are recommended:<br />

1. Log on to the following Web sites to show support, to include greeting<br />

cards, virtual Thank You cards and calling card donations to help troops<br />

stay in contact with loved ones:<br />

http://www.ourmilitary.mil/Message.aspx?SectionID=5<br />

http://www.usocares.org/<br />

http://www.redcross.org/holidaymail.com<br />

2. Visit Department <strong>of</strong> Veterans Affairs hospitals and nursing homes.<br />

Volunteer your services to honor veterans who served in past conflicts.<br />

Thank you for supporting our troops!<br />
