January 12, 1945 - September 26, 2016 Dcn. Don Anthony Senger, age 71, passed away September 26, 2016. Don was born in Racine, WI on January 12, 1945. His hobbies included playing the guitar, spending time with family, hunting, fishing, and serving the church.

Don Senger is survived by his beloved wife, Diane Senger, his son Tony and wife Angelyn, grandchildren Anthony and Amy; daughter Lisa and grandchildren AJ and Emma; daughter Vanessa and son James. He is preceded in death by his par-ents Charles and Rose, and sister Rosemary. He was beloved by his family and friends and will be missed greatly.

The Funeral Mass was held on Thursday, September 29, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Theresa Church, with Fr, Stephen B. Reyn-olds presiding. His place of rest is the Houston National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that dona-tions be made to the parish in his memory.

St. Theresa’s has lost a kind and dedicated servant whose wisdom, experience and love for our Lord and his Church has been a profound blessing. May we comfort one another with assurances of faith as we grieve the death of our brother, Deacon Don.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Through the mercy of God, may he rest in peace.

Toda la comunidad de nuestra Parroquia está invitada a participar en este gran evento. Empezaremos con la celebración de la Santa Misa, el Domingo 30 de Octubre a las 8:00 am, para después re-unirnos en el centro comunitario; lugar donde el Reverendo Ger-man Eduardo Arrieta expondrá la reflexión basada en la Santa Bi-blia.

A S T Y F A K. N Dear Parishioners, The Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Greetings from the St. Joseph Catholic Church community where I minister. I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation to you for your kindness, love, generosity and hospitality. I walked into an atmosphere of warmth and felt immediately welcomed by all of you and your smiling faces. I immediately felt I had come to a loving place. I would first like to say that no words of gratitude can possibly express how grateful I am to you all during my stay at the Parish and for all the help that you have given me. My stay was a period of spiritual renewal as a priest. Thank you for everything. Be assured of my continuous prayers for each one of you. May I end with the words of St. Paul to the Philippians Chapter 1:6. With Blessings I re-main, Yours in Christ,

P S Omnipotent and eternal God, the everlasting Salvation of those who believe, hear us on behalf of Thy sick servant, N., for whom we beg the aid of Thy loving mercy, that, with his bodily health restored, he may give thanks to Thee in Thy church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus, see what confidence I have in you, and welcome my

intentions. Intercede for me with the Blessed Virgin Mary, who came to smile on you when you were suffering. Look on all those undergoing distress and trials and also on all those who pray to you: I unite myself to them as my brothers and sisters.

Through the graces we desire, if it be the

Lord’s will, make us stronger in faith, hope and love on this road to eternal life. May we be assisted at the moment of death so that we may pass from

this world into the peace of the Father and know the eternal joy of being children of God. Amen.
