MOTHER MARY TERESA TALLON, P. V. M. I.

Julia Teresa Tallon was born on May 6, 1867, in a hamlet called Hanover, NY. She was the seventh of eight children born to Bridget and Peter Tallon, both of whom had em-igrated to the United States from Ireland.

Julia’s mother dismissed the idea of religious life for her daughter. Yet, despite the discouragement and disapproval at home, Julia was firm in her commitment to follow a religious vocation from the age of twelve onward.

On April 30, 1887, at the age of nineteen, Julia entered the Holy Cross Sisters at South Bend, Indiana, taking the name Mary Teresa. For thirty-three years she remained with the Sisters teaching a variety of subjects in Catholic schools. All the while God was preparing her for her future work and enlightening her mind as to the nature of the mission He would give her – the founding of a contempla-tive-missionary Congregation for the streets and homes, to teach the faith and counsel, and especially to reclaim lapsed and uninstructed Catholics for the Heart of the Good Shepherd.

On the feast of the Assumption, August 15, 1920, when she arrived in New York City to begin this work, the Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate were born.

Mother Mary Teresa’s entire being was focused upon God and the mission He gave her.

Though quiet and retiring by nature, she was strong-willed and courageous, as well as intelligent and re-flective. Her face was rounded and pleasant, the face of one who would be friendly and thoughtful, ap-proachable and yet serious.

Even as a young girl she was seen to be magnetic, compelling and persuasive. People were drawn to her and held by her fervor and enthusiasm, especially for the things of God.

She was open and frank in her dealings with others, which sometimes got her into difficulties. But she was unfailingly kind, a friend to the down-trodden, to sinners, to the poor and neglected, to the troubled, to God’s “little ones.” This she had learned from the heart of Christ.

Her books, personal letters, and numerous printed articles show a deeply loving religious Sister who was unflinchingly staunch and loyal to the Church’s teaching, to the Holy Father, and to the mission God had given her. She was never afraid to be outspoken, especially when the Kingdom of God seemed compro-mised by lack of zeal or pettiness.

Although suffering disabling illnesses during the last twenty years of her life, she carried on the administra-tion of the Congregation, giving no sign of her suffering to the Community she so ably guided and nurtured. In fact, very few of her dearly beloved Sisters had any idea of how ill she was.

She considered her human needs to be insignificant compared to the needs of those whom we serve and of the Community itself. She made heroic efforts to rise and give her quarterly conferences to the Communi-ty. She conducted important meetings with officials and Associates, journeyed to oversee Community con-cerns, and would return again to her bed for much needed and nearly unknown periods of rest.

Considering that this was her state for nearly twenty years, clearly God was the source of her strength: 1) to extend the Congregation to eight dioceses, as well as to many temporary missions, including one in the Dominican Republic; 2) to maintain voluminous correspondence caused by the Community’s development; and 3) to direct a publishing department that produced a monthly magazine and Community literature.

On February 10, 1954, Mother Mary Teresa was found to be critically ill after falling in her room. It soon became obvious that this was to be her last illness. Just before the Anointing, she said in a strong, clear voice, “I thank God for the graces He gave the original vocation and for sustaining it since 1920, and pray Him to continue.”

On the evening of March 10, 1954, after extreme suffering borne with patience and love for the Congrega-tion, Mother Mary Teresa died just as the Sisters had finished praying the Rosary around her bedside. In 2013 the Church declared her a Servant of God. Prayer cards and literature on the Servant of God, Mother Mary Teresa Tallon, P. V. M. I. are located

in the rear of the church near the bulletins

HOLY INNOCENTS BOOKSHELF

The Last Mass of Padre Pio By Alessandro Gnocchi & Mario Palmaro

THE STARTLING TRUTHS UNCOVERD BY THIS BOOK WILL FOREVER CHANGE

THE WAY CATHOLICS VIEW THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS

On September 23, 1968 after hav-ing borne the stigmata for exactly 50 years, the saintly Padre Pio died. This holy mystic spent his life as a living imitation of Christ and is the only priest in history to bear the stigmata. During his life, in spite of the physical pain he en-dured, Fr. Pio continued to say his daily Mass. But part of his suffering

was unknown. Fr. Pio wrote a petition appealing directly to Pope Paul VI so as to obtain permis-sion, from the highest ecclesiastical authority on earth, to never be required to say the Novus Ordo Missae.

The existence of this petition was kept secret from the public . . . until now.

Things to learn about this holy friar:

Mystical vision and calling to be an Alter Christus Life-long combat with the demonic spirits Profound physical suffering especially during the

Canon of the Mass His loyalty to the traditions of the Church and

the Mass of all times His pious admonitions to his spiritual children

“Later, as an aged Capuchin friar, the mere thought of the liturgical reform, which would take effect in 1969, was sufficient to raise in him a holy horror. Throughout his life the holy friar had been obedient even unto martyrdom, but at this time the only re-quest he dared to put forth to the authorities of the Church was to be exempted from the novelties of the impending liturgical reform.”

For the first time published in English read the star-tling testimony and eyewitness accounts of close friends and spiritual sons of Padre Pio as they reveal his thoughts on the sanctity of the Mass, the chang-es occurring in the Church during his lifetime, and the chilling effects they would have on the future. Look behind the cloister wall and discover a side of Padre Pio you’ve never seen before.

WORDS OF MOTHER TERESA TALLON

“Do not think it is only in New York City that those get-ting to Mass and Holy Communion are few – it is every-where.”

“Never think that the time you spend in recollection or prayer is in any way lost. All power comes from un-ion with God; all grace of conversion and sanctifica-tion from union with the Sacred Heart. May you all be saints – real and true – lost in the love of God and zeal for souls.”

“God and His love alone are important; nothing else matters in comparison. And this is how it should al-ways be. Fill your souls with the love of God, and the love of His poor will flourish.”

“Do your best. Live for God alone and turn your heart toward Him as the sunflower always faces the sun.”

The Holy Innocents Legion of Mary group meets each Monday in the Parish Hall fol-lowing the 6 p. m. Mass. For more infor-mation on joining this ministry as an active or auxiliary member please contact Melissa Becker at: [email protected]

Often children who have died before birth have no grave or headstone, and sometimes not even a name. At The Church of The Holy Innocents, we invite you to name your child(ren) and to have the opportunity to have your baby's name inscribed in our "BOOK OF LIFE". Here, a candle is always lit in their memory. All day long people stop to pray. On the first Monday of every month, our 12:15pm Mass is celebrated in honor of these children and for the comfort of their families. We pray that you will find peace in knowing that your child(ren) will be remembered at the Shrine and honored by all who pray here.

We will inscribe the names of babies who have died before and at birth in our Book of Life, and as always, we invite

you to visit the Shrine if you are in New York City.
