The DVD, Revelation by Jeff Cavins is missing from the library. Please look under your bed or any hiding place and return the set to St. Theresa’s library. Thank you

The Shoes of the Fisherman Excellent and very interesting story of a Russian priest, Kiril Lakota, imprisoned by the oppressive Soviet gov-ernment for twenty years, who is released to Rome at the height of the Cold War in a Soviet bid to control the Vatican and achieve geopolitical domination. The current Pope dies, and he is elected Pope Kiril. As Pope, he faces enormous pressure from global powers and the Church. Watch the movie to see how he responds.

Pastoral Exhortation: God’s Mercy through the Ministry of the Church To conclude the Year of Mercy, Bishop Joseph E. Strickland has issued a pastoral exhortation to the faithful of the Diocese of Tyler on the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. The complete text of the exhortation in English and Spanish can be found at www.dioceseoftyler.org Please read and share.

Thanksgiving Holiday Reminder: The St. Theresa office will be closed Nov. 23-25 for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving! “Whatever you do in word or deed,

Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, Giving thanks through Him

To God the Father.” Colossians 3:17
