Daniel Conigliaro, Campus Ministry Assistant FOCUS Missionaries (Fellowship of Catholic University Students} Katelyn Miller | Ariadna Ruiz | Nolan Schmidt | Joseph West 2 Around the parish and the diocese WEEK OF February 21, 2016 From the liturgy team LENT SERIES: SMALL SACRIFICE As we enter the heart of Lent, maybe you have been thinking about how you can deepen your relationship with Christ as you walk this journey toward the Passion. One sure fire way to grow in virtue is to find lots of small sacrifices throughout the day. By this I mean doing things that make us slightly uncomfortable: cold showers, kneeling on the floor, not drowning your fries in salt, etc. These small discomforts remind us of the blessings that God has given us and we sometimes take for granted. Requirement to Publish Notices of How to Report Abuse As part of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, approved by the U.S. Bishops in 6446, each parish is required to publish notices in their bulletins that explain how and where people can report allegations of sexual child abuse. A Victim Assistance Program has been established by the Diocese of St. Augustine and pamphlets are currently available in the hallway outside the parish office and in the church vestibule. Please make a call to report any suspicions of abuse. But it is not enough to just suffer for the sake of suffering. The purpose of sacrifice is not to make us miserable. Rather, we take these sacrifices, the large and small ones alike, and offer them to the Lord as a prayer for ourselves and for others. By giving up small, simple things, and offering them up to God, we will find ourselves walking this desert road with more awareness of Christ’s sacrifice. ATTENTION The Diocese of Saint Augustine treats all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and deals with all allegations in a prompt, confidential and thorough manner. To Report Abuse, call: Diocesan Victim Assistance Coordinator (904) 262-3200, ext. 129, or the Department of Children and Families at 1-800-96-Abuse (800) 962-2873. Chris Reuther 33 DAYS TO MERCIFUL LOVE HAS ARRIVED!

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2016, 7:00PM, IN THE LOUNGE Quarterly Financials Parking Lot Updates Renovation of the Sanctuary 3 Stewardship second Sunday of lent Stewardship Masses on February 13-14, 2016 First Sunday of Lent Offertory from baskets: $7,571.63 Offertory from Parish Pay: $4,172.66 E-Giving: $1,525.00 Poor Box: $61.66 Catholic Student Center (CSC): $1,013.25 Sanctuary Renovation: $510.00 Specified Donations: $200.00 Catholic Schools: $25.00 Ash Wednesday Offertory: $2,606.42 Eastern European Churches Collection: $1,291.97 Graphic courtesy of: www.stlukespr.org STEWARDSHIP SPOTLIGHT - SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT Today is the second Sunday of Lent - Transfiguration Sunday. Jesus reveals his glory as God to select apostles on the mountain. I see relevance to us today in that we often need to be reminded of the divinity of Jesus. Our faith brings him very close to us, both spiritually and physically; so close that familiarity may breed contempt. Maybe we see him more as our friend or brother than Lord, Savior, and God. Maybe we don’t fully acknowledge that when we receive communion our God is with us and in us. What if during the consecration the bread and wine began to glow with almost blinding light and continued to glow with the brilliance of God until we consumed the sacrament? What if the Blessed Sacrament visibly glowed from within us? Wouldn’t our attitude be very different? I would guess that we would leave church very changed people. Why don’t we live as if Jesus was glowing inside us? If people could see the glow, they would be touched and moved, as well. Since the Blessed Sacrament doesn’t glow, let us live our lives so that Jesus shines forth from our lives. Last week I mentioned an excellent opportunity for almsgiving or donating saved funds from Lenten fasting – the Catholic Relief Services Helping Hands project that will take place at St. Augustine’s on April 9. Please visit the web page: crs.donordrive.com/event/staug. If you donate money that you save from fasting, you will directly help feed starving people in Burkina Faso. It is rare that there can be such a direct relationship between our sacrifice and the benefit of others. We also need people to help package 10,000 meals that day. Sign up for that on the same web page. I must say something about the parking situation. Fr. Marek has worked tirelessly to try to make this difficult situation, which he inherited, work best for us. Unfortunately, time and time again, decent plans have fallen through, in one case through the inappropriate actions of a parishioner. Please be patient, both with the parish and with others with whom we work out solutions. Consider the hardship of parking a Lenten sacrifice. Before coming to mass, it would be a good idea to check the parish web page catholicgators.org. There will be parking updates at the top. Also, we will send out regular emails with parking updates. However, we can only send emails to people who have registered with the parish. Please do that at:www.catholicgators.org/parish-registration.

Deseas tener un encuentro real con Cristo? Es una experiencia maravillosa. Deseas ser parte de una comunidad Cristiana comenzando desde tu propio hogar? Equipo de liturgia Serie Cuaresmal: Pequeño Sacrificios Al entrar en el Corazon de la cuaresma, tal vez pensamos en como profundizar nuestra relacion con Cristo y poder caminar esa jornada hacia Su pasion. Un modo rapido de crecer en virtud son en los pequenos sacrificios durante el día. Con esto quiero decir, las pequenas cosas que nos sacan fuera del confort del vivir, por ejemplo, banarse con agua fría, no ponerle salsa picante a la comida, hincarme en el suelo, etc. Estos pequenos malestares nos recordaran las bendiciones que Dios nos ha dado y lo tomamos por concedido. Pero no es sufrir solo por sufrir, sino que el sacrificio tiene un proposito. El proposito del sacrificio, pequeno o grande, es el de elevarlo como oracion de nosotros mismos hacia Dios. Dando estos pequenos y sencillos sacrificios y ofreciendolos a Dios, nos encontraremos caminando el camino del desierto mas consciente del sacrificio de Cristo. Los cursillo seran en espanol.

Knight’s Corner Knights of Columbus’ ‘40 Bucks for Lent’ Campaign to Help Persecuted Middle Eastern Christians NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Knights of Columbus is asking those considering a Lenten sacrifice to give “40 Bucks for Lent” and use the hashtag #40BucksForLent to help Middle Eastern Christians and other religious minorities suffering religious persecution there. “Since many people give up something for Lent, we wanted to provide an opportunity for their sacrifice to make a difference — not only in their own life, but in the lives of others,” said K of C Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. “During the Lenten season, we recall Christ’s suffering and death. In turn, remembering and assisting those who are today suffering and dying for their belief in Christ is an excellent way to do good where it is most needed and to enter more deeply into the spirit of this season.” The Knights began its Christian Refugee Relief Fund in 2014. To date nearly $10 million has been raised to provide housing, food, medical aid, education and general relief to persecuted Christians and other religious minorities especially from Iraq and Syria, and to raise awareness about their plight. Those persecuted have suffered enormously at the hands of terrorists, who target them simply for their faith. Lives have been turned upside down, friends and families killed, and homes seized. Last fall, the Knights also brought a young Iraqi girl to the United States with her mother, so she could receive specialized medical care.
