A message from Fr. Mark
Greetings in the Lord!
I would like to thank you for all the patience
you have shown as our renovation plans stutter-step
forward! Again this week, I wanted to update you on
the many exciting things that are beginning to happen for our parish...
1. We believe that we have a workable plan and
possible time table for our church renovation;
the whole Building Committee will meet shortly.
2. We are planning for a 24 hr. Adoration Chapel
3. The former Youth House turned CCTN studio
will return to its former glory as a Youth House
(minus room for the Adoration Chapel).
4. Offices in the Main Office complex are being rearranged so that …
5. The Ministry to the Sick Offices can be relocated
to the Main Office complex so that...
6. The Food Pantry will have more room for storage and the ability to serve more people and...
7. Catholic Charities will be given additional room
for a second person that will greatly increase the
number of people served in the community.
8. All of Faith Formation for children is being
brought under one umbrella in order to maximize usage of available space (which will be at a
premium for the duration of the renovation)
I know this seems like a lot, but as our parish
grows and ministries reach out to more and more
people, we need to be able to expand and change. It
is only with the help of the loving, caring people of
this parish are we able to do the things we do, and
from the bottom of my heart I thank you, thank you ,
thank you for your volunteer spirit and love of St.
Paul Catholic Community. Choicest Blessings to all!
The Holy Spirit will strengthen us with
courage in times of trouble.

Gifted Hands
Why Witness?
It is not enough to be quietly horrified
by Planned Parenthood and all the
abortion centers killing babies and
selling their body parts. If we do not
stand up to the culture of death, our
indignation will fade and we will be swallowed up by
it. After 43 years of this slaughter of the innocents,
many people have tired of even hearing the word
“abortion” and just want to get on with their own lives.
However, these innocents deserve our solidarity. They
are our brothers and sisters in Christ. We must be
witnesses for them. We are also a lifeline for their
mothers and fathers walking into the mills, often dazed
and usually uninformed, totally unprepared for the
reality of what they are about to endure and the
lifetime of pain for the day of the “quick fix.” Will
you join some Respect Life members on Saturday,
5/14, 10-11 AM, to pray one hour at the Ocala
Women’s Center? Please call Nancy Zaletta at
352-323-1497 to carpool or for information.
The intention for the Novena following the Mass on
Wed., 5/11, is for Religious Vocations.
We meet on the 4th Friday of the
month...come and join us. Our next
meeting is May 27 at 1:00 pm.
Gi"ed Hands is a ministry of the
parish established to give comfort to
those in nursing homes, hospitals and
shut-ins. We are in desperate need of yarn and would
appreciate any yarn dona#ons from our parish members.
You may call Cherlyn Bradley at 365-9589 or
Rebecca Whalen at 728-4835.
YEAR OF THE ROSARY FOR
MERCY
We are now on a once a month
schedule. The next meeting is June 1st.
A life of prayer means maintaining a daily
and permanent dialogue with
God. The daily rosary is part of your life
of prayer.
If you cannot make rosaries, please consider a donation
to the Rosary Makers.
We meet on the first Wednesday of the month at 9:30AM
in Room 220FEC. For more information contact
MARY at 638-2747 or DIANNE at 874-0058.
EVERY ROSARY IS A BLESSING.
Gathering Group
up
Come to Mass early enough not to disrupt.
Leave late enough not to insult. The Mass
does not end until the final song has
completed. Worship reverently enough not to
distract. This includes silence in the church
and the spirit of quiet in the vestibule
before Mass. Dress modestly and
appropriately like you would for any special
occasion.
Please avoid excessive use of colognes and
perfumes, as this will benefit those with
allergies and physical ailments.
The pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima
is available for loan for
1 week inter vals for those wanting to
have it in their home. If you are
interested, please call Mary Moreau at
352-315-0902.
Come join our group on
Wednesdays @1 pm for an
afternoon of socializing, games
and fun. We meet in Room 215
Family Enrichment Center.
Interested? Please call Lucille
Ross at 323-1853 or
Paulette Sawyer at 323-1244.

ADULT FAITH
FORMATION
OFFERING
St Paul Council of Catholic Women was recently honored at
the Orlando Diocese CCW conven#on. During Mass at the
Basilica of the Na#onal Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe;
Bishop Noonan asked for all of the ladies from St Paul,
Leesburg to come forward. As we gathered at the foot of the
sanctuary he came down the steps to meet us. Bishop Noonan
then presented us with the Diocesan "Light of Faith" award!!
We were shocked and thrilled! Our bishops do indeed know
and show their approval of the works of the CCW.
