e-GIVING

Dear Parish Family,

Please consider e-Giving. e-Giving is an easy, fast and secure way of automatically giving your offertory or other contributions online using your checking account, credit card, or debit card. The convenience of not having to worry about weekly envelopes or writing a check before you rush to attend Sunday Mass is absolutely valuable for many parishioners.

e-Giving guarantees the delivery of your offering on a timely basis, and in a predetermined fashion designed by you. This saves the Parish the continuing escalating cost of printing and mailing envelopes. However, you may still request envelopes if you so desire.

If you decide that this is a convenient and time-saving way of making your offertories, please click HERE to register. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our Accounting Department at 561-483-2440 Ext 1418.

Thank you for supporting your Parish. May God richly bless you.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

During Child Abuse Prevention Month, we are reminded of the call to be instruments of justice, working for the common good of all, which includes the provision of healing for those who have suffered as victims of abuse. As Jesus entrusts to Peter the care of the flock, we are reminded that this responsibility belongs to everyone as a matter of charity and justice. Child Abuse Prevention Month should lead to heightened awareness of the need to be vigilant about providing a safe environment for all within the Church and for the world.

John Janis & Tina Marie Di Gorga Janis – June 24th, 2024.

Pope John Paul II

Father, you are Love and Life.
Through your Son, Jesus Christ, born of woman, and through the Holy Spirit, fountain of divine charity, grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true shrine of life and love.

Grant that love, strengthened by the grace of the sacrament of marriage, may prove mightier than all the weakness and trials through which our families sometimes pass.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

BECOME A CCD CATECHIST

Please consider volunteering in our Religious Ed program during the school year. We always need teachers, assistants, office help, and traffic monitors. Teen Helpers are also needed. Help bring our children closer to Jesus. We will train you.

Serving the Altar during Mass is an awesome privilege that allows Altar servers to grow closer to God in a very unique way. Not many people could be that close to the holy sacrifice of the Mass when it is offered by the Priest but Altar servers and clergy.

Don’t miss this great honor and call the Religious Education office at 561 483 2440 ext. 1429 to sign up for training.

Altar servers should be Baptized and have received their First Communion. The minimum age is 8 or in 3rd grade.

Boys and girls who wish to become Altar servers should be mature enough to understand their responsibilities, and to carry them out with reverence.

Volunteering is a rewarding way to serve your community. It challenges your spirit, fills your heart and enriches your life. Yours may be a renewed sense of purpose or possibly work to fill idle moments. Maybe it’s the opportunity to touch someone on a heartfelt level and be touched in return. If you would like to serve, please contact the Parish Office at 561-483-2440.

NOTICES

The Church is open for prayer throughout the day, from 6 am to 6 pm. After hours, the Grotto of Lourdes and Prayer Garden continues to be available to the faithful for prayer and meditation.

Bereavement Group

If you are grieving the loss of a loved one our Bereavement Group meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 10:00 a.m. in the Holy Family room.

For more information please contact the Parish Office at 561-483-2440.

Our parishioners can provide solace and encouragement to those who need it most. Your kindness and compassion can make a significant difference in the lives of our military members and the sick and homebound. Let us remember them in our thoughts and prayers, and may their burdens be lightened by the collective strength and love of our worshipping community.

Tree Of Life

The Tree of Life offers you a great opportunity to remember your loved ones in a very tasteful way while you make a contribution to your Parish. Each brass leaf holds more than the name of your father or mother, husband or wife, son or daughter. It is a memorial of gratitude meant to last. For more information, please contact the Parish Office. May God bless you.
