As your new Bishop, I wanted to share my heartfelt gratitude and Easter joy with you.
At my installation on February 24, 2026, I expressed my desire that we walk together as one family of faith — united in Christ and attentive to the Holy Spirit. These words echo the timeless affirmation of St. Augustine of Hippo: Vobiscum sum Christianus, vobis sum episcopus — “With you I am a Christian; for you I am a bishop.”
In this Easter season, I am especially grateful to journey with you in the Diocese of Palm Beach. We rejoice that the stone has been rolled away and that Christ’s Resurrection renews our hope. Even amid life’s trials, nothing stands in the way of God’s love for us.
As we proclaim the Good News, may we remain anchored in the words of the Lord that guide my episcopal ministry: “The truth will set you free” (Jn 8:32). In the Risen Christ, we find that truth, that freedom and the promise of new life. May this Easter fill your hearts and homes with the grace, peace and strength of the Risen Lord.
Bishop Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez
Como su nuevo Obispo, deseo compartir con ustedes mi más sincero agradecimiento y la alegría de la Pascua.
En mi instalación el 24 de febrero de 2026, expresé mi deseo de que caminemos juntos como una sola familia de fe — unidos en Cristo y atentos al Espíritu Santo. Estas palabras hacen eco de la afirmación intemporal de San Agustín de Hipona: Vobiscum sum Christianus, vobis sum episcopus — «Con ustedes soy cristiano; para ustedes soy obispo».
En este tiempo de Pascua, estoy especialmente agradecido de caminar con ustedes en la Diócesis de Palm Beach. Nos alegramos de que la piedra ha sido removida y de que la Resurrección de Cristo renueva nuestra esperanza. Aun en medio de las pruebas de la vida, nada puede interponerse en el amor de Dios por nosotros.
Al proclamar la Buena Nueva, que permanezcamos firmes en las palabras del Señor que guían mi ministerio episcopal: «La verdad los hará libres» (Jn 8,32). En Cristo Resucitado encontramos esa verdad, esa libertad y la promesa de una vida nueva. Que esta Pascua llene sus corazones y hogares con la gracia, la paz y la fortaleza del Señor Resucitado.

FAITH FORMATION
Our ministry aims to help the faithful adult grow in both Human and Christian maturity
The calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Saint Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by the Holy See, and the Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the USCCB and confirmed in 2010 by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
The current norm regarding fasting before communion is Canon No. 919:
§1. A person who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from any food and drink, except for only water and medicine.
§3. The elderly, the infirm, and those who care for them can receive the Most Holy Eucharist even if they have eaten something within the preceding hour.
ARE YOU AN ACTIVE PARISHIONER?
A Parish is not simply a “branch office” of the Church, nor a periodic audience of people, nor an occasional public; but it is a formally organized social group. It is a portion of a Diocese under the authority of a Priest legitimately appointed to secure in virtue of his office for the faithful dwelling therein, the helps of religion.
The faithful are called parishioners, and they become parishioners by acquiring a domicile or a quasi-domicile within the geographical boundaries or territory of the Parish.
Parishioners could be active parishioners or non-active parishioners, and the question of parishioner status is important because parishioners look to their Parish for many services such as:
- Parishioner tuition rates in our Catholic schools;
- The use of our facilities for liturgical services such as baptisms, weddings and funerals;
- And certification as eligible sponsors at Sacramental celebrations.
These rights and services within the church bring with them certain obligations, as in any form of community.
To be considered “active,” a parishioner must be:
- Registered in the parish;
- Attend Mass faithfully;
- Support the life of the parish by sharing time and talents in service;
- And sharing treasure (tithing) to build up the community.
Active participation in Christian Stewardship makes you an ACTIVE parishioner.
