THIS WEEK’S ALTAR BREAD IS IN LOVING MEMORY

OF

ALTAR SOCIETY MEMBER IDA MANCINO

FROM, ST. THERESA’S ALTAR SOCIETY

He said to him, "See that you tell no one anything, but go,

show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what

Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them." The man went

away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the

report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a

town openly. - Mk 1:44-45b

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Chapter 13

It should be called the Federal Fresh Start Law: it provides a Government sanctioned forgiveness of debt with no tax ram-ifications. It takes about 2 years to re-establish your credit after bankruptcy. It’s not part of the problem, it’s part of the

solution to raising your credit score. There’s no longer any social stigma when it comes to getting bankruptcy relief. Oureconomy is not your fault. Don’t let the Banking Industry scare you away from getting the debt relief you are entitled to

under Federal Law. Call for a Free telephone consultation. Admitted to practice in 1982.Thomas M. Denaro, Esquire *1726 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461 *718-863-6000
