Getting Ready for the Move
Multiple Choice: Narthex is Preferred Answer to Enter New Church
Life used to be so easy: we could go right through the front doors of St. Theresa and run into a crowded mini-gathering area packed with ushers, people waiting for restrooms, newcomers, and people who liked to visit before Mass. Or for many, the easy way to drop into church was by way of the side doors. As we prepare to move back into the church, a lot has changed—including the ways to enter the church. The new “true front doors” to the church are those glass doors at the entrance to the nar-thex. No longer small, dark, and crowded, the narthex is a large, well-lit gathering space and anteroom to the church proper. There are front and back doors to the narthex so that one can enter from the gym parking lot on the north side of the church or from the Haskell street parking lot to the south. From the narthex, we then all enter the church through the two sets of side doors located roughly where the old side doors were. The entrance and recessional processions for Mass will now use the side doors in and out of the narthex. The original church doors will be used by those processing out of funerals and weddings. When the new church opens on August 14, welcome home! Please come in at either one of our front doors: the narthex door under the signage that reads, “St. Theresa Catholic Church,” or the other narthex door fac-ing the gym parking lot. We bought and built this new and gracious gath-ering space; let’s use it well. Prepare to gather through our new narthex doors on August 14 and thereafter!
In anticipation of returning to the Church, we will present a series of articles to help St. Theresa Community prepare for the move into the Church.
See below for the fourth article of the series.

Por favor evite estacionarse en el césped que esta junto a la reja de metal en Rodrigo St.
Opción multiple: Las puertas del nártex son la respuesta para
entrar en la nueva iglesia
La vida solía ser tan fácil: podíamos pasar por las puertas delanteras de St. Theresa y encontrarnos en un área de reunión abarrotada, llena de volun-tarios asistiendo a las personas a encontrar un asientos en la iglesia, per-sonas que esperanban para entrar al baño, visitantes y personas que les gustaba platicar antes de entrar a misa. O para muchos, la manera fácil de entrar a la iglesia era a través de las puertas laterales. Ahora que nos esta-mos preparando para regresar a la iglesia, muchas cosas han cambiado, incluida la forma de ingresar a la iglesia. Las “nuevas y verdaderas puertas de entrada" a la iglesia son las puertas de vidrio en la entrada al nártex; el cual ya no es pequeño, oscuro y lleno de gente, el nártex es un espacio de reunión grande y bien iluminado y una antesala a la iglesia. Hay puertas delanteras y traseras al nártex para que pueda ingresar desde el estaciona-miento del gimnasio en el lado norte de la iglesia o desde el estaciona-miento de la calle Haskell hacia el sur. Desde el nártex, entramos en la ig-lesia a través de los dos juegos de puertas laterales ubicadas aproximad-amente donde estaban las antiguas puertas laterales. La entrada y las pro-cesiones recesivas para la misa ahora usarán las puertas laterales dentro y fuera del nártex. Las puertas originales de la iglesia serán utilizadas por aquellos que procesan funerales y bodas. Cuando la nueva iglesia abra el 14 de agosto, ¡todos seran bienvenidos a casa! Por favor, entre por una de nuestras puertas delanteras: la puerta narthex debajo de la señalización que dice "St. Theresa Catholic Church ", o la otra puerta nártex que da al estacionamiento del gimnasio. Compramos y construimos este nuevo y grandioso espacio de reunión; usemolos adecuadamente. ¡Prepárese a re-unirse a través de nuestras nuevas puertas del nártex el 14 de agosto y de ahí en adelante!
