Welcome
New Members:
To be a member of our parish requires registration and participation in worship, sacraments, the life
of the parish, and regular financial
support of the parish. This is a basic
consideration when requesting
marriage, baptism, or to act as a
godparent/sponsor. Register in the
front office or on-line.
Last Saturday our parish hosted its second Helping Hands event
in which we packaged over 10,000 meals to be sent to Burkina Faso,
and also helped fund Catholic Relief Service's economic development
programs for the people of that country.
Thanks to all who participated!

STILL COOKIN’ AT GRACE...
The parish continues to provide Monday dinner at the Grace Marketplace center for the homeless.
You can participate in a couple of ways:
1. We are running low on funding to pay for the food
and supplies. You can donate using E-Giving or by
dropping a check into the offertory basket. Make
checks payable to the parish and put “Grace” on
the memo line.
2. Our second Monday team needs some dependable
help with food preparation. This involves
showing up at the Grace kitchen around 2:00 p.m.
on the afternoon of May 9th and subsequent second Mondays, whenever you can. The food preparation is finished by 5:30 p.m. You can participate
other days, too!

STEWARDSHIP SPOTLIGHT - FOURTH SUNDAY
OF EASTER
(GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY)
On Saturday, April 9, something very special happened in the lounge. Over 50 parishioners of St. Augustine’s measured soy, rice, dried vegetables, and spices, distributed it into plastic bags of 6 meals, and packed them into boxes destined for starving people in Burkina Faso via Stop Hunger Now and Catholic Relief Services. In less than 2 hours, we packaged 10,000 meals! It was a joyous and glorious example of God’s children working together as a family to be his loving
presence among his people. Thank you to everyone who helped out, either by their manual labor or their financial contributions that paid for the food. If you missed this opportunity to do good, please visit the web page of Catholic Relief Services (www.crs.org) and donate online. CRS is one of the best charities in terms of ensuring that your contribution goes
to helping people in need, not paying for fundraising or high salaries of administrators.
The Saturday before that was the Gainesville Catholic Charities Gala, the major fundraising event for this charity. In
contrast to Catholic Relief Services, it is those in need in our local region who benefit directly from Catholic Charities. Please visit its web page (catholiccharitiesgainesville.org) to check out its many and varied missions and to make a
donation. As is CRS, Catholic Charities is among the best in putting your contribution towards aid and not administration.
Another way to contribute to Catholic Charities is through the Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal. Sure, the campaign occurred back in January, but if you didn’t complete the pledge card or contribute online, it’s not too late. The BASA
is used to fund Catholic Charities, seminarian training (of which we have been a direct recipient via seminarians in their
pastoral training year for many years), Catholic education, and evangelization. Although our parish met its goal in terms
of percent of parishioners contributing, the total amount pledged decreased from 2015. Please go online
to www.givecentral.org/dosa2016 to donate. These are all worthy endeavors.
Finally, our improved e-giving for the parish was initiated last fall. Please go to e-giving.org/egivinglogin.asp?
id=4179 or visit our web page, catholicgators.org, to get started. Support of our parish and student center should be regular and scheduled, not dependent on if we are present at mass or have some spare cash in our wallets when the basket
comes around. It’s easy, and there is no minimum contribution.
Thank you for your support of God’s work throughout the world, in our diocese, and in our parish/student center.

Chair of Stewardship Committee

God Our Father,

Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
