Your gifts to Our Catholic Appeal bring comfort to the sick. Ministers to the Sick carry out the healing work of Christ by offering prayer, compassion, and a listening presence to the sick or those who are unable to attend the community liturgy. Most importantly, Ministers to the Sick are called to the important work of bringing the church community and Eucharist to those who are ill or cannot attend the celebration of Mass. Please remember that our parish goal is $336,601. The pledged amount to date is $274,096, which is 81.4% of our goal, with 1,181 (48.8%) families participating. Once we have achieved our goal, the majority of additional funds will be returned to our parish to support our own local needs. This year, we will commit our parish over-goal dollars to the building fund. Save Time and Donate Online! Our parish now uses an Online Giving system called WeShare.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Virgin, was canonized on October 21, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI. Kateri was born near the town of Auriesville, New York, in the year 1656, the daughter of a Mohawk warrior. She was four years old when her mother died of smallpox. Kateri became converted as a teenager. She was baptized at the age of twenty and incurred the great hostility of her tribe. Although she had to suffer greatly for her faith, she remained firm in it. St. Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American to be declared a Saint. Her feastday is July 14. She is the patroness of the environment and ecology as is St. Francis of Assisi. Litbit: Ordinary Time The color green in the church tells us that we are back in Ordinary Time. Actually the word “ordinary” does not mean routine but “counted” or “ordinal” time. We enter into these 2nd, 3rd, 4th Sundays ... all counted one after another. Winter Ordinary Time is just a few short weeks until we enter into the season of Lent. Summer and Fall Ordinary Time comprises the longest portion of the Liturgical Year, covering as much as six months of the Calendar. Ordinary Time challenges us with the demands of building the Kingdom. We listen to the Word of God which keeps reminding us of our call as Christians to internalize the teachings of the Lord and to live out what we proclaim. The miracles and the parables of Jesus are, for the most part, the subject of the Gospel readings. The task that we are given is the same task Jesus had—to proclaim the reign of God in our midst—so this is hardly an ordinary mission. The prayers of the Mass ask for the gifts necessary to accomplish this task and they carry the same message: “Bring forth the Kingdom! (Copyright 2013, Resource Pubs, Inc.)

Come Pray for our Troops at Veterans Park A prayer group for our troops meets every Thursday at 8:00 a.m. at Veterans' Memorial Park in Spanish Springs. The group has been meeting for 8 years, and the main purpose is so the people don't forget our soldiers. The names of any soldier who has lost their life in the past week are read. Then a list is read of approximately 150 men and women who are now overseas and at home. Then the group says prayers for the safety of the soldiers and their families. At the end, we sing a patriotic song. After the meeting there is a fellowship breakfast at Too Jays in Spanish Springs. Everyone is welcome. It is only 20-30 minutes of your time. The troops need to be remembered; they give us so much. For information call Tom or Barbara Troisi at (352) 430-0175 Parish Happenings What is the Building Fund?

New Church Mass Schedule to begin when church opens Daily Mass: Mon.-Sat. 8:00 AM Saturday Vigil Mass: Sunday Mass: 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 AM 10:00 AM 12:00 PM (Noon) As many of you have noticed the Saturday Vigil Mass times have changed. The reason for this change is because the Policy of the Providence of Miami states: A Vigil Mass cannot be held before 4:00 p.m. We were given special consideration by the Bishop to celebrate Mass at 3:00pm on Saturday due to the number of masses necessary to accommodate our blossoming parish. THANK YOU… ...for your patience and for using caution as we continue the construction of our new church. Please consider wearing closed-toed shoes for safety’s sake. Please refrain from going near or into the new church, as it is a construction site at this time. Please note the new parking area, once paved, is still under construction - we cannot park there as of yet. We thank you for your cooperation. Church construction as of July 7, 2014.

Mother Teresa OUTREACH AND FOOD PANTRY During the summer, when many residents and winter visitors leave Florida, pantries and charities become busier. Many adults experience layoffs and/or reduced employment. With children being home and not receiving reduced fee or free lunches, family budgets are stressed.

Food requested includes the following: canned pasta: 1 lb. packages of rice and pasta; pasta and tomato sauce; canned vegetables including baked beans; canned fruit including apple sauce; canned meat including stew, chicken, and tuna; cereal; juice and drink mixes; pancake and cornbread mixes. Soap and paper products are also appreciated by clients. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT OUT OF DATE AND OPENED PACKAGES CANNOT BE DISTRIBUTED.

Volunteers try to follow the example of St. Vincent de Paul and Mother Teresa when working with the disenfranchised people in our area. They recognized the poor as children of God. Many people with limited resources realize that God does love them because of our volunteers from our parish. Jesus said to us: "For I was hungry, and you gave Me food. I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink...." Together, we can make a difference in Wildwood. OUR MOTHER’S ATTIC Resale shop benefiting the Soup Kitchen, Food Pantry and local Outreach programs.
