Offertory Collection
Our Catholic Appeal (goal: $106,195)
Holy Father, Peter’s Pence (total)
America is far more than a
continent bounded by two oceans.
It is more than the pride of military
power, glory in war, or success and
victory.
It means more than vast expanses of farms, of great
factories or mines, magnificent cities, or millions of
automobiles, radios, and TVs.
America is the intangible we cannot describe.
It is a soul. The soul of a free man, the spirit of a free
thought.
The drama of an alert mind.
The simple and honest dignity of a human being.
The respect for the feelings, thoughts, and concerns of
a fellow citizen.

OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL
I am pleased to announce that we have surpassed our
goal of $106,195 for Our Catholic Appeal and raised
$113,621.23!! Out of 996 families registered in our parish,
30.8% of our parishioners responded to Our Catholic Appeal
with a gift.
When we share our treasure with Our Catholic Appeal, we
not only glorify God through our personal generosity, but we
also help our parish, our diocese, and our Bishop to glorify
God through ministry.
The gifts that you and I offered to Our Catholic Appeal will
be used to care for the suffering, form new priests and
deacons, train catechists and other ministry leaders, tend to
the suffering, and advocate for public policies that protect
human life.
Thank you for your faithfulness and generosity! May all
that we do bear witness to God’s goodness and glory!
……..Gratefully yours in Christ, Fr. Peter

A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP NOONAN
All life is sacred as each one of us is made in the image
and likeness of God. We cherish each person as a child of
God.
We pray for victims of violence and acts of terror ... for
their families and friends ... and all those affected by such
acts against God's love.
We pray for the people of the city of Orlando that God's
mercy and love will be upon us as we seek healing and
consolation.
Every time we look at the Cross, we see how God has
forgiven us in Christ - with a love that bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things; love
never fails.
We dry the tears of those who weep and mourn as gently
as Veronica wiped the Lord's bleeding face on the Via
Dolorosa. May the Peace of Christ dwell within our heart.
………Bishop John Noonan, Diocese of Orlando
