St. Paul Books and Media will be here at the Basilica on

set up a religious book, movie and articles “store” in the

great ministry in Catholic media. We will send out a reminder on our Basilica parish app before they arrive.
Flowers in the Sanctuary are a special way to
honor a loved one for birthdays, anniversaries
or other special occasions. We would like to
have fresh flowers on the altars each week. Arrangements for either of the side altars are $40;
prices for those on the main altar depend on size and
type. To reserve a date and order flowers, contact Lori
Storey at (917)903-0559 or storeylori@hotmail.com.
Dear Parishioners,
Some tidbits this week…
First, next Sunday will be a busy morning here.
We have a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Knights of
Columbus. We will also formally welcome our new parishioners who have registered since October 2014. The
Daughters of St Paul will be here with religious items for
sale. The Sisters are operating a religious items concession
during next Saturday’s Celebrate Faith 2015. As they are
traveling back to South Carolina, I invited them to come to
the Basilica for Sunday. We will be tight, but that is good.
Also with us next Sunday is Father Thomas Rosica, CSB.
Father Tom is president and CEO of Salt and Light Media
in Toronto, Canada. Father is one our keynote speakers for
Celebrate Faith 2015. His flight is late on Sunday, so invited him to stay with me on Saturday night and preach on
Sunday. Plus, he, too, is from Rochester and it will be an
occasion for a neo-Canadian and a neo-southern to reminisce.
Second, the restoration project may seem to be at a
standstill, but: a) we are waiting for the Florida legislature
to approve the recommendations of the Historic Preservation Bureau. We need this approval before we can begin.
The legislature’s next session begins in March and ends in
May. We may ask for a letter writing campaign to our local
legislators asking their support. More on that later. b)
Monies continue to come in on windows. Some parishioners opted to make payments rather than a one-time payment.
c) We are still seeking sponsorship of the two windows on
Chase St that are in the sacristy. These were colored glass
panes at one time and we would like to replace the clear
glass with glass that are the colors of the Basilica crest; gold
and red. We have a design, but need a sponsor or two.
These windows will tie in with the work we hope to accomplish in the bell tower. d) Good news! The pew cushions
are going to be replaced by Easter. They have served well
since 1986. This dimension of the restoration project is being accomplished through the generosity of a parishioner
who earmarked his contribution for this purpose.
Third, we have added six new Sunday Mass lectors
to our group and four new altar servers. This brings our
altar server corps to eighteen which is a good number for
our size parish!
Lastly, thank you for your commitment and loyalty
to the Basilica parish. Again, I would like to wish everyone
a good New Year. My prayer is that in 2015 we grow in our
love for Father, Son & Holy Spirit, grow in our faith, and
increase service and participation in the parish. God will
never be outdone in generosity.
Wishing you a good Sunday and a pleasant week,
Father Joe Callipare
