From the Desk of Father Davis
Are you connected to the vine?
This weekend we hear in our Gospel the Lord's self description. He says, "I am the vine,
you are the branches."
READ MORE Meditación del Padre Agustin
En el evangelio de este domingo, Jesús utiliza la imagen de una vid y sus sarmientos
para expresar la importancia de pertenecer completamente a Dios que es fuente de vida. Sólo
si los sarmientos están conectados a la vid, pueden producir buenos frutos. De la misma
manera vemos que esto es cierto para nosotros, la Iglesia.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
There are a variety of reasons for
maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Personal boundaries are critical for selfcare and promoting mental and
emotional health. We set them to protect
ourselves.
When we are involved within
an organization, there are expectations of appropriate
behavior within relationships and interactions. Most
people have good intentions, but this does not always
equal appropriate behavior. We need to be mindful of our
own behavior that reflects our boundaries, the perception
and possible impact of our behavior, the expectations
within an organization, what boundary violations look like,
and how to communicate concerns.

Vote No on 4
“Florida Voters be warned: Amendment 4
would enshrine abortion through all
trimesters in our state’s constitution and
eliminate all laws that even modestly affect
abortion including parental consent laws,
informed consent laws, and other safety
regulations that protect women seeking an
abortion. It goes too far for even most
people who consider themselves to be pro-choice, creating
loopholes that will allow for abortions in the second and third
trimesters,” said Sara Johnson, Florida Voters Against
Extremism’s Statewide Grassroots Director.
Amendment 4 doesn’t tell voters that it fails to define key
terms like “viability” or “patient’s health” – leaving it up to a so-called “healthcare provider” to make all of these critical
determinations. That’s how Amendment 4 would allow late-term abortions, when a baby is capable of feeling pain, with no
protections for the baby. Then, most outrageously, it doesn’t
tell voters that a “healthcare provider” doesn’t have to be an
actual medical doctor but could be any person from a long list
of health-related fields, even a non-medical employee of an
abortion clinic.

they can help defeat Amendment 4 should visit

St. Paul Street Evangelization (SPSE). This is a
grassroots, non-profit organization, dedicated to
responding to the mandate of Jesus to preach the
Gospel to all nations by taking the Catholic Faith to
the streets. Christ’s call to evangelize was made to
every Catholic Christian, to bring the Gospel, found
fully in the Catholic Church.
As an on-the-street
Catholic evangelization organization, St. Paul Street
Evangelization provides an avenue for people to
share the truth and beauty of the Catholic Faith with
the world. SPSE uses a simple, nonconfrontational method of evangelization in which
we make ourselves available to anyone to answer
questions about faith and to pray with those who
request it.

Parish Development Office Reports Successes
The efforts of our Parish Development Office have been fruitful again this year.
The popular Walkathon, held last October for our students, brought in $145,862 dollars of profit, ear-marked for new clear touch boards, new Pre-K equipment, exterior fencing enhancements around the playground and support towards our full-time police presence each school day.
The Parish Craft Fair continues to grow in popularity each Fall. A modest but meaningful $8,368 came to the parish to support the office renovation project.
Our recent Grand Auction Dinner Dance, held in our gymnasium last month to celebrate our 65th anniversary as a parish church, brought in a whopping $238,347 in profit!
Many initiatives will be supported by this clarion effort; e.g., technology updating in our school classrooms and offices, new equipment and programming for the STEAM lab, new computers and computer software for our school computer lab, modernizing two sets of customized doors for the school, meaningful support for dicoesan charities, and seed money for the soon-to-be-announced Capital Campaign, which will seek to underwrite the construction of SIX new classrooms for our growing student body. Our school currently has a waiting list!
Thanks to all who have been so involved in advancing the work and successes of our parish Development Office!
