From the Desk of Father John

This week we celebrate the Feast of the Exhortation of the Holy Cross. This feast dates back to the early Church, when St. Helen discovered the remnants of the Cross of Christ while on pilgrimage in Jerusalem. After discovering the remains of three different crosses, St. Helen verified the discovery of the true Cross from the miraculous healing that occurred after touching it to a very ill woman.

Meditación del Padre Gustavo

El Evangelio de este domingo manifiesta la necesidad de la elevación de la cruz. La palabra elevación no solo significa la crucifixión de Jesús, sino la exaltación de la cruz y la importancia de la resurrección. Jesús fue elevado a la cruz para obtener la vida eterna que lo transformó en el hijo de Dios.

Saint Francis Day - Blessing of Animals

On Saturday, October 4th, at 10:00 am, near the south driveway in front of the Church Office building, Saint Gregory parish will again offer the annual "Blessing of Animals Ceremony" on the occasion of the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The brief prayer service will include a prayer of blessing, the sprinkling of Holy Water on each animal present.

Each family who brings their pet will receive a holy card of Saint Francis, as well as a medallion of Saint Francis, patron of animals. Please have pets on leashes or in cages. All are welcome!

Irregular Parking - Compromising Law and Safety

It has been long-noticed that there are numerous parishioners who are violating parking laws, which interrupt traffic flow and compromise the community safety of our parishioners.

Specifically, there are numerous individuals who choose to park their automobiles along the yellow curbing at the front entrances to our property, not only during weekend Masses, but also during weekday Masses, even at 7:00am! The problem is that parking along yellow curbing is illegal. The curbing is yellow for a reason! It is meant to tell everyone to keep the area clear of obstruction for the sake of effective traffic flow, the easy access of police and fire department vehicles in the event of an emergency, and to ensure the care and safety of parishioners entering and exiting the church building.

On school mornings, such illegal parking also interrupts the ease with which parents access our property for the safe and expeditious drop-off of students each day. The City of Plantation Police Department, although exceedingly tolerant of these irregularities, has taken notice of this growing problem. No one should be parking along the yellow curbing in either of our main entrances to the church, whether the south entrance or the north entrance. The Police Department will soon be issuing warnings and then citations for illegal parking. Please be aware of this fact and please adjust your parking patterns accordingly.
