NO MUSIC A NOTE FROM MONSIGNOR HELMICK
I am writing this note for the June 10 bulletin and it is Tuesday, June 5. I have been sitting at my desk, pen in hand, wondering what on earth to write about this week. Suddenly, it dawned on me that tomorrow, June 6, is the 74th Anni-versary of the U.S. led Allied Invasion of Normandy- - in 1949- - which set the stage for the end of the Second World War and freed the European continent of the violent, bloody reign of Adolph Hitler and his Nazi regime. The invasion of Normandy, on the northwest coast of France, was one of the largest land, air, and sea operations in history.
I have a fascinating and unforgettable memory- - - a haunting memory- - - connected with the Invasion of Normandy. Several years ago, I had asked Peter Bailey, one of our dedicated PTA Members at the time, to organize a group of parents to paint the inside of the school, and I told Peter that I would be one of those painters. This all happened, and in 3 years, during the summers, the entire interior of the school was painted.
In August of that first summer, I was in a classroom, painting along with one of our volunteer painters, Steve Kurk. As we went about our work, I told Steve that I had come across an old, black and white movie about the invasion of Normandy as I was going from station to station on the T.V. Sunday night. The name of the movie is “The Longest Day” and it was widely acclaimed as an excellent documentary presentation of the historical realities of the invasion, with a wonderful cast, and dramatic presentations of the events which occurred. And then, I said to Steve, who had not seen it, that one of the best parts of the movie was the spectacular background music.
At that point, Steve put down his paint brush, looked at me, and said: “Father, there was no music on the beach at Normandy. I was in the United States Army and I was there, on the first day of the invasion. The only sounds to be heard were the sounds of the shells overhead from United States Navy vessels attacking the German outposts, the sound of the sniper fire coming at us as we tried to get on the beach from the landing craft, and - - - the worst sound- - - the sound of young American soldiers, in their teens and early twenties, crying out for their mothers as they lay wounded and dying on the beach.”
As you can see, I have a long-lasting memory of Steve’s words. Every time I have flown over the Normandy coast since I heard what he said, I say a silent prayer for the soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice for our country on that Normandy beachhead, and as I write this note, 74 years after the event, I know that all of us should be grateful for the willingness of so many people- - mostly young people- - - to do what they did for the safety and security of the American people and for the people of the Allied nations for whom the United States of America came to the res-cue.

A Note from Father Bradford
Many thanks to Monsignor Helmick and the many people from the parish who attended my 20th Anniversary of Ordi-nation Masses and / or sent cards and gifts. Your kindness and support are always much appreciated. Father John Nichols and Father Charles Higgins also attended the Mass in Chestnut Hill. Extra copies of the Mass card are avail-able in the rectory.
Father Richard Bradford
Summertime As summer begins and vacation time comes, we hope you will remember- - -as best you can- - -your weekly contribution to Saint Theresa’s Parish. The bills keep coming, salaries, insurance, and pension payments still need to be paid on time- - - even when our parishioners are enjoying well-deserved vacations and are not in West Roxbury. For whatever you are able to do in this regard, I will be most grateful!! However, everyone should make it to Sunday Mass, here or wherever your vacation takes you...and have a grand and glorious summer!!

The Catholic Appeal As of Wednesday, June 6, parishioners of Saint Theresa’s have contributed $69,968.00, which is 85% of our assigned goal of $82,641 for this year. If you would like to contribute to the 2018 Catholic Appeal, the blue envelopes are avail-able in the pews, at the doors of the Church, and in the Pa-vilion as you leave Mass today. You may return the enve-lopes in the Offertory collection, by mail, or in person, at the rectory. We are at the halfway point of the Catholic Appeal, and I really appreciate your generosity. The Appeal Office has a policy of not giving a rebate to any Parish which does not reach its assigned goal. Our goal at Saint Theresa’s is $82,641 and we have arrived at $69,968 thanks to all of you who have contributed. And so, we are $12,673 short, which means that we will not be eligible for a rebate. And so, I am hoping and praying that anyone who has not yet made a contribution will find a way to make one very soon so we will get to our assigned goal and be eligible for a rebate from the Archdiocese. The rebate will help Saint Theresa’s Parish to pay our bills.

Massachusetts Citizens for Life
Walk for Life
June 17 1:00 P.M.
Boston Common
The Mass. March for Life, formerly known as the Respect Life Walk to Aid Women and Children, is an annual event sponsored by Massachusetts Citizens for Life that brings together pro-lifers from around Massachusetts for a rally and walk. In recent years, it’s been held on Boston Common. The Father's Day march allows us to give witness and honor some of the unsung heroes of the modern-day pro-life
movement: the fathers of these babies!
The March is an inspiring opportunity for pro-lifers of all ages to give public witness to their belief in the value and sanctity of all human life. The rally includes pro-life speakers to energize the crowd before we set off on a joyful march
around the Public Garden and Common.
This year, Baby Derek is the March for Life Baby of the
Year!!
