GENERAL PARISH INFORMATION
BAPTISM: Infant Baptism Parents must attend a Baptismal Preparation Class prior to scheduling
a baptism and it is encouraged that godparents also attend. Call the parish office to make
arrangements.
MARRIAGE: Call the parish office and request a copy of the “Marriage Preparation
Guideline”. Make an appointment for an initial interview with a priest or deacon six months prior
to the anticipated wedding date. Attendance at a pre-marriage preparation class or workshop is
mandatory.
RCIA: For those considering entry into the Catholic Church. Contact Deacon Gary McBride or
email [email protected]
ANOINTING OF THE SICK: Family members should request a priest to anoint the sick,
especially when it is known that the loved one is terminally ill. The purpose of this is to ready the
sick to meet the glorified Lord. An anointing of this kind (near death) is preceded by a sacramental
confession and followed by Viaticum, the reception of Holy Communion as spiritual food for the
journey to the Lord.
FUNERAL: When a loved one dies, it is a time of great stress and emotion. Making a phone call
to the pastor is an important first step. He can offer not only spiritual support but also practical
guidance about what steps need to be taken next. Please contact the parish office before making
arrangements with the Funeral Home.
VISITATION OF THE SICK: Ministers of the Holy Eucharist bring communion to the
homebound and hospitalized after the 8:00 am Mass each Sunday. Call the parish office if you
wish a priest, deacon or communion minister to visit the sick.
GIFTING THE PARISH: Please consider making a planned gift to Holy Name of Jesus Church
such as a bequest in your will, gift of life insurance, or a charitable trust. All gifts are tax
deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
COMMEMORATIVE BRICKS: The Father Butler Parish Life Center commemorative bricks
are available for purchase. We have two brick sizes: 4”x8”for $100.00 & 8”x8” for $250.00. For
more information call the parish office at 678-7813.
Holy Name of Jesus Prayer Line
We have 45 ministers who will pray for your needs.
Also, a Prayer Box is available in the back of the
church where one can drop a written prayer request.
Confidentiality is always respected.

VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY"
Wednesday, April 1 & Friday, April 3
7:00 pm in the church
Saint Vincent de Paul would like to thank you for all the support
you have given to our program. In 2014, we experienced another
year of great need to assist families struggling to improve their
lives. Thanks to you, we were able to help many of these
families. Because of your generosity, we were able to help these
families by providing food, shelter, utilities and many other types
of aid that were badly needed.
Every year during Lent, the CYM and seniors in the youth band
put on the reenactment of the Stations of the Cross, an actual
portrayal of Jesus’ journey from Pilate’s court to Calvary and to
the tomb. This powerful and very somber presentation is
spiritually moving and has been a long time tradition here at
Holy Name. Whether you are new to the parish or someone who
has belonged to our parish family for many years we invite you
to come and be a part of the greatest love of all.
There are no words that adequately express the gratitude and
admiration that we at St. Vincent de Paul have for all of you who
have shown such wonderful compassion for those less fortunate
than we are. Your donations enabled us to continue our work in
our community. Our local St. Vincent de Paul office , pantry and
outreach are staffed by volunteers from Holy Name of Jesus and
Christ Our Redeemer parishes. Our administrative costs are less
than 1% annually.
*Because of the somberness of the event we ask that you not
bring very young children who might get disruptive during the
presentation.
In 2014 we were able to satisfy 1,800 requests for assistance and
provide financial aid in the amount of $73,041.49. This
included $39,190.25 for utilities, $19,360.25 for lodging and rent,
$8,826.14 for food to supplement the food donations that you
provided and $4,379.40 for miscellaneous aid. We distributed over
50,000 pounds of food to our needy families. We provided
Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner baskets for over 120 families
as well as Easter meals for 35 families.
Living Stations of the Cross
God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy;
the Lord, amid trumpet blasts. Sing praise to
God, sing praise; sing praise to our king,
sing praise. ~Psalm 47:6-7
We sincerely thank you for your support. May our Lord Jesus
Christ bless you abundantly for your generosity and may the Holy
Spirit always light your path.

THE CHURCH FULLY ALIVE
Bishop Parkes and the Diocese of PensacolaTallahassee have recently called us to a new vision - THE
CHURCH FULLY ALIVE! In order for the Church to be
FULLY alive one of the important ministries we have is being
able to reach out to those Catholic members who are inactive in
the practice of the Faith. In an effort to go forward with this
ministry, St. Peter’s Parish in Mary Esther is again offering the
Awakening Faith program beginning Sunday, April 12. If we
all would reach out to just ONE inactive Catholic in our family,
our work place or our neighborhood just think of the impact it
would have on our Church. Please tell someone you know that
there is a place for them - that they are welcome - that they are
missed! They can call St. Peter parish office (850)581-2556 or
call Wanda Corbitt (615)545-8654 or email her at
[email protected] for information on this ministry.
