     Next weekend we will again have a second collection to support the Pastoral Appeal of the diocese. Pick up an envelope at the church doors and join others in the parish who help us to meet our obligation to the expenses of the diocese.

       We are a church in need of your generosity. Know that the blessings you have received come to the aid of others in their need. By working together we become a people in service of the Gospel. In coming together to grow in our faith, nurture our children with a love of God and progress toward the greater good. Every pledge helps those in need of services within our Diocesan family.

      The Office of Life, Justice & Advocacy works to teach respect for all human life from conception to natural death, to organize for its protection and to encourage and enable programs to care for and meet the needs of pregnant women, children, persons with disabilities, those who are sick or dying, all who have been involved in abortion, refugees and immigrants.

     The Office exists to lead respect life efforts of the diocese, supervise public policy advocacy, educate for life, peace and justice, and help Catholics in the Diocese of St. Petersburg engage in Ministries of Mercy.     We can do this! With a few more donors joining the ranks, now is the time to add your pledge and help us to make our share needed by the diocese of $85,661. To reach this goal, support from every family helps. Thus far we have received $77,795 in pledges and $73,793.22 has been paid by 240 families. We need a small gift of $50 pledges from those who have not yet pledged. Fill out and drop your pledge in the basket.  Thank you for doing your part.

Making our way back to Mass and

reception of Holy Communion.

    Summer is underway and we are looking forward to see more people make their way back to church. This has been a long dry spell of waiting for it to be safe to gather.

     People ask what is the proper protocol when returning to church. It seems prudent to encourage those attending Mass who desire to wear a mask and observe social distance to do so. We are aware that there are some unable to wear masks due to health or personal reasons. The number of cases are down with the vaccines for those attending Mass  We will continue to be cautious and if needed wear masks and social distancing to keep those vulnerable protected from the virus.

     Breaking Bread Hymnals will be kept at the doors of the church to be picked up when you arrive and replaced when you leave. Please do not leave the books in the pews. The 4:00 PM Mass will continue to be online for those at home. Please call the office if you like Holy Communion brought to your home. Confession is held on Thursdays at 3:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 7:30 pm or call the parish office for an appointment. Please notify the parish office if you are sick and would like to have the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.

    We like to hear from the pews your suggestion so please make us of the suggestion boxes at the doors or give us a call. Thank you for belonging to St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church.
