FREE TAX PREPARATION!
Beginning February 2, 2015 and continuing through April 15, St Sylvester Catholic Church in Gulf Breeze will
again be partnering with United Way of Escambia to offer free tax preparation for taxpayers in the parish and in
the Navarre/Midway/Tiger area. IRS Trained and Certified volunteer tax preparers will be available
M-T-W in the Activity Center. We can do taxes in both English and Spanish. Hours of operation will be 10AM
to 4PM each day. If you need assistance outside of these hours, please give us a call at 850-496-8124 to
schedule. During our normal hours on M-T-W, no appointment is needed; just come to the center and bring
your SS Card and a picture ID along with your tax information (W-2s, SS payment info, interest statements, last
year's return, etc.). The United Way has offered this service in the Pensacola area for several years & regularly
prepares thousands of returns for seniors, low and middle income families, students and others looking for
help. The expansion of this valuable service to the Navarre area recognizes the growing population of this
community and offers residents a way to get free expert help with tax preparation and filing. You do not have to
be a member of St Sylvester Parish to get this free tax preparation service.
Woe to me if I do not preach
the gospel. I have become all
things to all, to save at least
some (1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23).
Congratula ons to Emily Gordey and Gabby Forge

Catholic Sharing Appeal Reflection 2015
In the gospel today, Jesus heals the sick and performs other such miracles. He
then tells His disciples that He cannot stay. He must move on to the next town
and continue preaching and healing others. “For this purpose have I come,”
Jesus says.
As Christ’s disciples, it is our purpose and our mission to proclaim the Word of God
to the world today. We are, in effect, the hands and feet of Christ, and He calls each one of us
to continue His ministry of proclaiming the good news. In fact, that is why He established the
Church – to call all men to Himself.
Each one of us plays a very important role in the Church’s mission. We are all vital members of
the One Church, and the Lord has given us many good gifts with which to carry out this
mission. When we live our lives for the glory of God and use our gifts – our time, our talents,
and our treasure – to serve the Lord by serving others, people are sure to see Christ in us.
People are sure to be drawn to our way of life, to the hope and happiness Christ offers, and
men are sure to come to Him.
Later in Mark’s gospel, when Jesus tells the apostles, “Go into all the world and preach the
gospel to the whole creation,” (Mk. 16:15), He was speaking to the whole Church. Let us take
ownership of our call. May we all use our God-given gifts, our time, our talent, and our
treasure – to proclaim the good news: Christ has come to save all and He offers everyone life
everlasting. It is a wonderfully hope-filled message. May our lives reflect its truth!
Your support of the annual Catholic Sharing Appeal is critical to the
mission of our parish and our diocese. Please don’t forget to make your
gift today. Your participation makes a difference in the quantity and
quality of ministry we are able to provide.
Thank you.

The Pope’s words of comfort and concern come in his message for Lent 2015
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis is inviting all believers to open their
hearts to God and to overcome a “globalization of indifference”
that is threatening to spread a feeling of distress and
powerlessness and causing individuals and communities to
withdraw into themselves, closing “the door through which God
comes into the world and the world comes to him”.
1. “If one member suffers, all suffer together” (1 Cor 12:26)
2. “Where is your brother?” (Gen4:9)
3. “Make your hearts firm!” (James 5:8)
