No, this isn’t some Christmas in August advertising gimmick. St. Augustine’s parish and student center gets to celebrate at least three “new years” every year. We celebrate the turning of the calendar on January 1, and we make resolutions to improve our lives through the year. We celebrate the Church’s new liturgical year with the First Sunday of Advent around Thanksgiving. Many of us make Advent resolutions to help us celebrate the Christmas season in a more holy manner . Being a university community, we also experience a new academic year every fall. We either enroll in or teach new classes. This, too, is a fresh start, and many of us resolve to study harder or teach better. More importantly, we get to meet an infusion of new students and faculty to the University of Florida and Santa Fe College. We are especially blessed to have you join our faith community. Through the upcoming weeks there will be several welcoming events. Next Sunday, August 28 at the 5:30 pm mass, Bishop Estevez will celebrate the Red Mass, to ask God’s blessing on our academic endeavors for the year. We especially invite faculty and students to attend. For the students there is Blast-Off week starting August 22. On October 21 is the second annual Oktoberfest. Of course, you are always welcome to ask about what’s going on in our faith community. The parish web page is an excellent source: http://www.catholicgators.org . The Stewardship Committee serves the parish in helping parishioners return God’s blessings of time, talent, and treasure in many ways. There will soon be a registration drive for new and old parishioners. All college-age students are encouraged to register as independent adults. We encourage everyone to give of their time and talent to the parish and student center via numerous ministries, groups, and events. To the students’ parents who might be reading this, please consider supporting the parish and student center, which will be the spiritual and social homes of your students. See http://catholicgators.org/make-a-donation. It’s a new year. We pray that God will bless us with his Spirit to guide our thoughts and actions as we move forward in our studies, our careers, and our faith.

Estevez Bishop of the Diocese of St. Augustine Presiding New Understanding on the Gospel of St. Mark & Dinner with Bishop Estévez Tuesday, December 20 Registration at 6:00 p.m. Dinner at 7:00 p.m. the St. Vincent de Paul Society August 21 – Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us to “strive to enter through the narrow gate.” Our call to be disciples and to follow Jesus demands that we learn to live for the sake of others. With love for your neighbors who have nothing, look around your house to see what furniture, household items, and clothing you no longer use…and donate it to the St. Patrick Thrift Store. For information to make a donation, call 352-373-2206. For assistance, please call 352-222-0588. Cost $25.00 The Gospel of St Mark is the first to be written but it is practically the one who is known the least. Why is there such interest to understand his insights? In what way is Mark’s writings different from the other three Gospels? Why is this Gospel so relevant to our own situation? Come and see! Call (904) 287-2525 Knight’s Corner Want to Join the Knights?
