Announcements

† Modesty Standards: During the summer months, please remember to observe the modesty standards and the words of Our Lady of Fatima: “Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.” “A dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat; which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows; and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knees. Furthermore dresses of transparent materials are improper” —The Cardinal Vicar of Pope Pius XI.

 

† Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is this Friday, June 12, and Mass time will be at 6 pm.

 

† The ladies and girls’ monthly meeting will be after the 8:30am Mass on Saturday, June 20. We will be cleaning the church. Social activity afterward TBD.

 

† 2025-2026 St. Therese Academy Yearbook is for sale in the vestibule to support the Sisters and School.

 

† Doors locked/Lights off: Please make sure all the doors are locked and the lights are off, especially if you are the last person in the church. Very often, after Mass on Sundays, the front doors are left open, and the lights remain on.

 

† 14 DAY SANCTUARY LAMP: If you would like to donate to light the 14 day sanctuary candle for your intentions, please let Father know. The donation for each candle is $25 (candles generally last 14 days, but sometimes they burn faster than expected).

Reflection: The Catechism Explained by Stories and Examples

by Fr. Francis Spirago

Fourteenth Lesson: On Baptism

Question: How is Baptism given?
Answer: Whoever baptizes should pour water on the head of the person to be baptized, and say, while pouring the water: “I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

Baptism by Children: A sea-captain, a Protestant, lived with his three motherless children in a Catholic family. The children of the family attended the Parochial School, and after an instruction on the necessity and manner of giving Baptism at which the captain’s children also were present, the eldest of the latter said to the eldest of the former: “Are you baptized? “Yes,” replied the other, “I was baptized in my infancy.” “Then,” rejoined the first, “baptize me, for I might die tonight, and I want to go to heaven.” This was done accordingly, and he in turn baptized his two younger sisters. When their father returned, they related what had been done, and to please them he also submitted to be baptized. Three days later he, his children, his ship, and all aboard were lost at sea.

Question: How many kinds of Baptism are there?
Answer: There are three kinds of Baptism: Baptism of water, of desire, and of blood.

The Baptism of Genesius: In the reign of Diocletian, there was at Rome a comic actor named Genesius who on one occasion undertook to ridicule the Christians by parodying the sacraments on the stage. Accordingly, pretending illness, he called loudly for the priest, and when another actor in that character came on and asked wherefore he was called, Genesius replied: “Because I have a great desire for Baptism.” Now it so happened that God by a miracle at that instant gave him the very desire he simulated; so that the Baptism which the supposed priest administered in jest was received by Genesius in reverent earnest. To make the mockery complete, the other players then dragged him before the emperor and with feigned gravity accused him of being a Christian; but to the astonishment of all, Genesius declared that a Christian he was in real earnest. The emperor ordered him to be tortured immediately, but nothing could shake his constancy, for he died repeating: “There is but one God, whose Son, Jesus Christ, I adore and serve, and to Him I adhere though I suffer a thousand deaths.” His, indeed, was a triple Baptism, of desire, of water, and of blood. “And,” says St. John I. v.8, “there are three that give testimony on earth, the spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are one.”
