WARNING! Please note: there is an old scam going around where someone is posing as a pastor or an associate pastor, using the actual names, asking for money or gift cards via e-mail or text messages due to some "emergency." The request is typically sent from 'out of the area' phone number or a strange, easily-created email address.  This is a scam that is happening in many parishes. Those who publicize their names, phone numbers, or email addresses in parish bulletins are prompt to receive such scam requests. Please do not respond!

Please be vigilant in this matter.  Please be cautious about scammers!  Don’t be scammed yourself!  No one from Incarnation St. Terrence Parish will EVER ask for money or gift cards via text or email for any reason. And if you have doubts, call the parish directly and speak to your priest in person.

Please be assured that this scam has been reported to the proper authorities.

RENEW MY CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENT

RENEW MY CHURCH DECREE

NAME DECREE

On Sunday, August 7th, 2022,  during our 8:00 morning Mass, we witnessed the commitment ceremony of our newly established Seven Sisters Apostolate.

This Apostolate was founded in 2010 in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, but currently, there are groups throughout the United States and other countries.
This new-to-our-parishes apostolate has, as its mission, primarily praying for the pastor and his intentions. "A call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop - a 'holy wasting' or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ."

Due to very successful response from the ladies of Incarnation Parish Church and St. Terrence Worship Site, once the primary committed group was established for the Pastor, another subsequent group was formed to support the Associate Pastor, Fr. Pawel, prayerfully.
The group’s intention is directed towards the office of the shepherd more than the individual. In other words, the group prays for the priest until he is reassigned, at which time his successor becomes the recipient of those prayers.

Each member commits to a Holy Hour on a particular day of the week, thus covering an entire week. The commitment is to that day. The Seven Sisters may pray at any time on that day. The Holy Hour is typically prayed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in our Perpetual Adoration Chapel.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all members of the Seven Sisters Apostolate for their commitment and support as I shepherd the newly established parish with Fr. Pawel’s support. Through the generous and prayerful people like those committed women of our parish, my spirit is uplifted, and I feel encouraged as I continue to build a strong foundation for our newly created Parish.

                                       Fr. Arek

"Support your priests with your love and prayers, that they may always be shepherds after Christ's heart" - Pope Francis.

“In strengthening the priest, you strengthen the whole Church... Strengthen the priest, and you strengthen the whole foundation, you strengthen everything in the Church” - Fr. Gerald Fitzgerald, s.P., Founder Handmaids of the Precious Blood.

It is not unusual for the Catholic Church to call a synod, a gathering of leaders. What is unique about the synod that Pope Francis called on October 9 & 10, 2021 is that this two-year synod is being called a “Synod on Synodality.” What does that mean? It means that Pope Francis is inviting the entire Church, the People of God, to reflect on its life and mission. We are each being called to reflect on and share what we experience as life-giving and disciple-forming in our parishes and communities.

Then, by sharing these experiences with each other, and by reflecting together on what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church today, the Pope and Church leadership will be able to explore which processes are helping Her to live communion, to achieve widespread participation, and to open Herself more to living the mission of Christ.

So how do we join in the discussion?

We are happy to share with our parish community that the long-awaited statue of St. Michael the Archangel has been completed and is on display in our church.
