THE SECOND COLLECTION TODAY is for: Catholic Relief Service Collection Next week: Maintenance Pastor’s Column Dear Parishioners, Next weekend we will have the Annual Bishop’s Stewardship Appeal. The focus of the BSA is on Catholic education, charitable organizations, communications and seminarians. Special BSA envelopes will be distributed at all the weekend masses. You will be given the option of making a one-time donation or a donation over a period of 6 months. The diocese has provided a number of ways to give to this campaign. Please take time to consider what you and your family can truly offer to help make this BSA a success. Our individual parish goal is $31,000. Last Spring, 210 parishioners (that is, 23% of our members) pledged $54,968. With only 23% of the parish participating, our pledge went over our parish goal. However, consider how incredible it would be if every family made a pledge? Bishop Estevez depends on our willingness to share our time, talent and treasure. Stewardship is not simply about giving our money. It is about our spiritual attitude towards God. If God has been generous to us, why not return the favor? True, there will be those who will object and say that this year has been hard on them financially. Yet, despite our lack of financial resources, we can still make a financial contribution and trust that the Lord will still provide for our means. Stewardship involves trust in God’s providence for us. Remember the adage: “God is never outdone by our generosity.” If we give out of love for God, God will make sure we have enough to pay our bills and other needs. This is not fiction. It works. And now some funnies: 1. 2. One night a wife found her husband standing over their baby's crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, skepticism. Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes glistening she slipped her arm around her husband. "A penny for your thoughts," she said. "“It's amazing!" he replied. "“I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like that for only $46.50." There are several men in the locker room of a private club after exercising. Suddenly a cell phone that was on one of the benches rings. A man picks it up and the following conversation ensues: "“Hello?" "“Honey, It's me." "“Sugar!" "“Are you at the club?" "“Yes." "“Great! I am at the mall 2 blocks from where you are. I saw a beautiful mink coat... It is absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?" "“What's the price?" "“Only $1,500.00" "“Well, OK, go ahead and get, if you like it that much..." "“Ahhh and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2015 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman and he gave me a really good price ... and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year..." "“What price did he quote you?" "“Only $80,000..." "“OK, but for that price I want it with all the op tions." "“Great!, before we hang up, something else..." "‘What?" “It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and...I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and I saw the house we had looked at last year ... it's on sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property..." " How much are they asking?" "‘Only $450,000... a magnificent price, and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover..." " well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $420,000. OK?" "“OK, sweetie... Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!" "“Bye... I do too..." The man hangs up, closes the phone's flap and raises his hand while holding the phone and asks to all those present: "“Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?" Fr. Murphy SAVE THE DATE! PARISH MISSION COMING Our annual Parish Mission will take place from Saturday, February 7th to Thursday, February 12th. This year we are excited to have Fr. George McInnis, C.P.M. Fr. McInnis is a member of the Fathers of Mercy and was ordained to the priesthood in 2007. Parish Mission talks will start on Sunday night and end on Thursday night beginning at 7 p.m. with a Eucharistic Holy Hour. Everyone is encouraged to attend. We ask all ministry meetings during the week of the mission to attend the mission. This is also a good opportunity to invite a fallen away Catholic to come.

The station is called WQOP or Queen of Peace radio, and you can find it at 1460 AM. WQOP has been around for several years since the 1997. However, despite the popularity of this station among a number of Catholics in our diocese, a large majority of our people do not know of the station. WQOP depends on the generosity of its donors and due to a drop in revenue the station is having difficulty meeting its monthly bills. If you can help them, you can go to the following webpage to make an electronic contribution to: http://www.qopradio.com or send your contribution to Queen of Peace Radio, P.O. Box 51585, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32240. For more information, call Tom Moran at (904) 241-3311.

The Eucharist is our spiritual food—it satisfies the deepest hunger of the human heart, and this sacred meal of the Mass is the place where hunger of the human heart, and this sacred meal of the Mass is the place where he feeds us.” Cardinal Timothy Dolan October 13, 2013 ONE FAITH/ONE FAMILY This week, we hope you will review the Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal information you have received. The theme of the Appeal is: "One Faith. One Family”. The Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal is different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you are invited to make a pledge payable over six months. A gift to the Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal will touch the lives of many others in a very positive way. The Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal provides critical funding to pay for the education of our seminarians, to help the poor and those facing emergencies through Catholic Charities, to provide support for designated Catholic schools, and to enable new communications and evangelization to our faithful, our youth and young adults, and our fallen away brothers and sisters. As you review the vocations and ministries the Appeal supports, please reflect on your gifts. God has given you all that you have. Your gifts to our parish, to the Diocese, and to the work of the Church throughout the world are a disciple’s response. Sometimes it is difficult to envision how one pledge can help an organization the size of our Diocese, how it can make a real difference. But, each pledge does make a difference because all parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our Diocese to serve and minister to so many more. Our combined gifts not only signify our gratitude to God, they glorify Him by enabling the work of our Diocese. If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back, or bring it with you to Mass next week. For those of you who did not receive a mailing or have not had time to respond to it, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend and the following weekend. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response. CATHOLICS IN RECOVERY meets on the first Thursday of every month at 7p.m. at Assumption Church, 2403 Atlantic Blvd., . Enjoy fellowship with men and women who join to celebrate Mass, gather for a meal, and share the experience, strength and hope of their individual journeys.
