Beloved Sister Theresa Tremblay
Sister Theresa, our dear and cherished friend, has returned home to Heaven to be with OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, and Our Blessed Mother Mary.
She was fearless, generous, unstoppable, and truly unique! She was always there when we needed her.
We celebrate the joy of her eternal life and are so fortunate to have witnessed her strong faith and dedication to helping others. It’s hard to know just how many lives she touched, how many people found comfort, help, guidance, and peace through her.
Truly she is among the brightest lights that ever shone in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
For all of us who had the honor of knowing her, let’s keep her memory alive in our prayers and share her kindness with others. We can honor her legacy by showing our own faith and compassion.
On behalf of the entire community of Our Lady of Good Counsel, we express our gratitude to you, Sister Theresa. Well done, good and faithful servant.
GOD Bless your kind and beautiful soul.

Welcome to Our Lady of Good Counsel Chapel
Prayer to our lady of good counsel
God of heavenly wisdom, you have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus, to be our guide and counselor. Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed presence in the life to come.
O Mother of Good Counsel, intercede for us, that we may be wise, courageous, and loving leaders of the Church. Help us, dear mother, to know the mind of Jesus, your son.
May the Holy Spirit fill us with reverence for God’s creation, and compassion for all God’s children. May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign of God and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come. Amen.

God, Family & Basketball:
The 50-year career of St. Joseph High School coach Vito Montelli Vito Montelli is New England and Connecticut's all-time winningest basketball coach, going 878-329. He coached in 1,207 game and is the only Connecticut and New England coach to surpass 850 wins. His teams won 11 Connecticut state championships, were runner-up six times and lost in the semifinals six times.There have been just five losing seasons in Montelli's 50-year coaching career at St. Joseph. A total of 33 players were named to the All-State team and 27 were named McDonald's All-Americans.But those are just numbers. What makes this biography of the 88-year-old legend is the life he led, the son of Italian immigrants working hard to find their way in a new land. We talk about his life growing up, how much sports meant to him and how he got involved in coaching at a young age.He's a great family man with a wonderful wife and successful children. He's also, much to the delight of every reader, a wonderful story-teller.
