and our parishioner during their visit.
At the Hospital
When you or a loved one is in the hospital,
please inform the staff at registration or later

Our Catholic Appeal 2014
Did you know? Your gifts to Our Catholic
Appeal bring comfort to the sick.
Ministers to the Sick carry out the healing work of Christ by offering prayer,
compassion, and a listening presence to the sick or those who are unable to
attend the community liturgy. Most importantly, Ministers to the Sick are
called to the important work of bringing the church community and Eucharist
to those who are ill or cannot attend the celebration of Mass.
Please remember that our parish goal is $336,601. The pledged amount to date is
$274,096, which is 81.4% of our goal, with 1,181 (48.8%) families participating. Once we have achieved our goal, the majority of additional funds will be
returned to our parish to support our own local needs. This year, we will commit
our parish over-goal dollars to the building fund.
Save Time and Donate Online!
Our parish now uses an Online Giving
system called WeShare. This allows
you to make your donations without
writing a check each week. You can set
up a recurring weekly or monthly payment, allocate different amounts for our
different collections, and view complete, accurate financial records at any
time. It saves all of us time and is a win
-win for our parish!
Those who wish to continue to use traditional methods of offering may do so;
however, we ask that you prayerfully
consider Online Giving. If you would
like to enroll, please visit our website
and click online contributions. For
questions about the program or setting
up your account, or for our help with
setting up your donation(s), please
don't hesitate to call our parish office at
352-330-0220.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Virgin, was canonized on October 21, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI. Kateri was born near the town of
Auriesville, New York, in the year 1656,
the daughter of a Mohawk warrior. She was
four years old when her mother died of
smallpox. Kateri became converted as a
teenager. She was baptized at the age of
twenty and incurred the great hostility of her tribe. Although
she had to suffer greatly for her faith, she remained firm in it.
St. Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American to be declared a Saint. Her feastday is July 14. She is the patroness of
the environment and ecology as is St. Francis of Assisi.
Litbit:
Ordinary Time
The color green in the church tells us that we are back in
Ordinary Time. Actually the word “ordinary” does not mean
routine but “counted” or “ordinal” time. We enter into these
2nd, 3rd, 4th Sundays ... all counted one after another. Winter Ordinary Time is just a few short weeks until we enter
into the season of Lent. Summer and Fall Ordinary Time
comprises the longest portion of the Liturgical Year, covering as much as six months of the Calendar. Ordinary Time
challenges us with the demands of building the Kingdom.
We listen to the Word of God which keeps reminding us of
our call as Christians to internalize the teachings of the Lord
and to live out what we proclaim. The miracles and the parables of Jesus are, for the most part, the subject of the Gospel
readings. The task that we are given is the same task Jesus
had—to proclaim the reign of God in our midst—so this is
hardly an ordinary mission. The prayers of the Mass ask for
the gifts necessary to accomplish this task and they carry the
same message: “Bring forth the Kingdom!

Come Pray for our Troops at Veterans Park
A prayer group for our troops meets every Thursday at 8:00 a.m. at Veterans' Memorial Park in Spanish Springs. The
group has been meeting for 8 years, and the main purpose is so the people don't forget our soldiers. The names of any
soldier who has lost their life in the past week are read. Then a list is read of approximately 150 men and women who
are now overseas and at home. Then the group says prayers for the safety of the soldiers and their families. At the end,
we sing a patriotic song.
After the meeting there is a fellowship breakfast at Too Jays in Spanish Springs. Everyone is welcome. It is only 20-30
minutes of your time. The troops need to be remembered; they give us so much.
For information call Tom or Barbara Troisi at (352) 430-0175

New Church Mass Schedule
to begin when church opens
Daily Mass: Mon.-Sat. 8:00 AM
Saturday Vigil Mass:
Sunday Mass:
4:00 PM
6:00 PM
8:00 AM
10:00 AM
12:00 PM (Noon)
As many of you have noticed the Saturday Vigil
Mass times have changed. The reason for this
change is because the Policy of the Providence of
Miami states: A Vigil Mass cannot be held before
4:00 p.m. We were given special consideration by
the Bishop to celebrate Mass at 3:00pm on Saturday due to the number of masses necessary to accommodate our blossoming parish.
THANK YOU…
...for your patience and for using caution as we continue the construction of our new church. Please consider wearing closed-toed shoes for safety’s sake.
Please refrain from going near or into the new church, as it is a construction site at this time.
Please note the new parking area, once paved, is still under construction - we cannot park there as of yet.
We thank you for your cooperation.
Church construction as of July 7, 2014.

OUTREACH AND FOOD PANTRY
During the summer, when many residents and winter
visitors leave Florida, pantries and charities become
busier. Many adults experience layoffs and/or reduced
employment. With children being home and not receiving reduced fee or free lunches, family budgets are
stressed. Now is the time when your donations of food
is needed.
Food requested includes the following: canned pasta: 1
lb. packages of rice and pasta; pasta and tomato
sauce; canned vegetables including baked beans;
canned fruit including apple sauce; canned meat
including stew, chicken, and tuna; cereal; juice and
drink mixes; pancake and cornbread mixes. Soap
and paper products are also appreciated by clients.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT OUT OF DATE AND
OPENED PACKAGES CANNOT BE DISTRIBUTED.
The Outreach Ministry realizes that there are many
charities who solicit your donations and appreciate any
help you can give so our volunteers can minister to the
poor in the local area. Volunteers try to follow the example of St. Vincent de Paul and Mother Teresa when
working with the disenfranchised people in our area.
They recognized the poor as children of God. Many
people with limited resources realize that God does
love them because of our volunteers from our parish.
Jesus said to us: "For I was hungry, and you gave Me
food. I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink...."
Together, we can make a difference in Wildwood.
