A day of fasting and almsgiving was announced for 22 January 2013. NDA Catholic Schools Week was announced for the following week. Placement tests were announced for Cathedral Catholic High School. A funeral services talk was announced for March 2-3. The program for lent sharing and discussion groups was to be Love Life Live Lent. Poinsettias were available to take home. These decorations from Christmas were free to good homes. A speaker from the Goretti Group named Lisa gave a short speech on the group's goals and activities. This group was founded to counter the false images of love in our culture. The celebration of chastity and authentic love was emphasized, and resources were shared.

The audio quality is limited due to the equipment used (plug-in microphone on a 1st generation iPod - you can hear the hard drive spin up from time to time!)

Father Bob Collins passing was announced. Jesus invitation to Zacchaeus, the tax collector in the sycamore tree, to come down was highlighted. The proposition on stem cells was coming up for a vote, and a speaker, Linda Stewart, from Respect for Life spoke about the issues in front of the voters in efforts to educate the congregation.

Dr. Sarah Lopez, music director, welcomed parishioners and introduced the songs. Father Nick was the presider.

Deacon Jim Walsh appealed for people to turn in their orders for message bricks for the walkway, and reminded us not to park in the bike lane. He made an appeal to the US Bishops annual anti-poverty donations. He then asked for volunteers for the ministry of hospitality, in efforts to expand their duties and make going to church a great experience instead of just a good one.

He then appealed for volunteers for music ministry, mentioning especially smaller children, youth, and young adults. Youth ensembles were being formed, the Wigglies smaller children's groups were looking for more small singers. Jim emphasized that singers and instrumentalists of every kind and level were solicited. Teens especially, who may think "I can't sing, or I'm not good enough to play", were invited to meet with Sarah and step up to the challenge. "If you can sing in the shower, you are good enough to join." Guitar, bass, strings, percussion, technical work, behind the scenes, all were invited, even "crashing symbols".

Rain was noted by Father Nick, after 180 days of dry weather, to be an answer to Robert's prayers. The emphasis on incorporating prayer into daily life and persevering in prayer was made over the course of the Mass. Prayer being an essential ingredient of life, should be done consistently and well. Father Nick reminded people not to park in the bike lane, otherwise the police will ticket cars. Knights of Columbus and Scouts were outside selling Tootsie Rolls as a charity fundraiser for the mentally disabled. Laura Olveri spoke about the Fiesta Fundraiser Auction, to be held in May. Her co-chairs were Mary Renolds and Elizabeth Hutton. Laura solicited donations for the silent auction. Funds were to go towards the building fund.

The audio quality is limited due to the equipment used (plug-in microphone on a 1st generation iPod - you can hear the hard drive spin up from time to time!) This particular file was overdriven. The singing was especially affected, but the spoken parts are acceptable. The choir is very intelligible, with clean diction and generally good balance.

Numbers from current hymnal

Instrumental Prelude Do Not Be Afraid Mark and Michael Doering on violin and clarinet(?) or oboe(?)

Opening Praise To The Lord The Almighty

Psalm All The Ends of the Earth

Offeratory Amazing Grace

Instrumental Communion Anthem

Communion How Great Thou Art

Meditation Do Not Be Afraid I am With You

Closing Now Thank We All Our God

Dr. Sarah Lopez, music director, welcomed parishioners and introduced the songs.

The audio quality is limited due to the equipment used (plug-in microphone on a 1st generation iPod - you can hear the hard drive spin up from time to time!) but the choir sounds good. Plenty of soprano, and clear diction. One can hear a lot of descant during the hymns.

Meg Casey appealed for eScrip sign-ups. This was a change from the paper scrip program, where you bought scrip from the church and turned it in at the grocery store. The eScrip program registered grocery club cards, and the scrip became automatic. Yearly renewals were required in eScrip, with October being the re-up month for St. Therese eScrip.

The St. Therese movie was out, and parishioners were encouraged to see it in theaters. Read about the movie here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286218/

The first recording I have from St. Therese has "the twins" playing violin. Their names are Mark and Michael Doering. They brought me fresh eggs from time to time, which pretty much spoiled me for eggs. They stopped playing with us about 6 years ago. Viktor Schektman plays piano and organ.

Dr. Sarah Lopez was the music director - I recognize her voice at the beginning of the service. We'd just changed the name of the church from St. William of York to St. Therese of Carmel. The statue out front had recently been commissioned.

The audio quality is limited due to the equipment used (plug-in microphone on a 1st generation iPod - you can hear the hard drive spin up from time to time!) but the choir sounds bright, lots of soprano, and clear diction.

There sounds like there is another instrument in there as well - maybe a clarinet or oboe.

Maria Peterka very humorously appealed for wise men to audition for the Christmas Play "Three Wise Men and a Baby".
