A Note From Our President
Hi Ladies, Happy Spring!
Our April 14th General Meeting will be our
last until September. At the meeting we will
have Election of Officers and our "Queen for a
Day" selection. Please try to attend.
During the summer the ODCCW Leadership
Symposium will be held at the Lake Yale
Conference Center in Eustis. It will be held
July 18 & 19th; a bit earlier than usual. If
anyone is interested in attending please let me
know.
Our Annual Trash & Treasure Sale will be
held in the social hall on April 25 & 26. We
will need lots of help. Even a few volunteer
hours and/or donations of items or baked goods would be very welcome.
Sign-up sheets will be available at our April meeting.
That same weekend Marlene and I will be going to the ODCCW Convention
in Melbourne. We need 3 more Silent Auction items. If you have anything to
contribute it would be greatly appreciated. At that time we will take all the
"Caps of Love". Please br ing all the caps you have at the Apr il 14th
meeting. That will finish the collection of them.
Also we are collecting children shoes (sneakers) for our Sister Diocese. The
children there have to walk far over hilly terrain and they wear out their shoes
very quickly. NEW shoes for children, sizes 2 and 3 are being gathered by the
Eastern Deanery. I am sure they will appreciate them.
May 3rd will be our Installation Luncheon following the 11:30 Mass at the
same place as last year, the Halifax River Yacht Club.
May 9 & 10 weekend is the Mother's Day Baby Shower to benefit the
Pregnancy Crisis Center. We will need help at each Mass. Please sign up.
Sheets will be waiting for your name at the meeting.
I want to thank all the ladies who baked cookies for Focus 11. The children
enjoyed them and ate every crumb. They did not want to waste anything!
I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for all that you do. It
doesn't go unnoticed.
I hope to see all of you at our last meeting. Remember we will have a
"Queen" and it could be YOU!
Happy Easter.
Love , Debbie

March General Meeting
What an informative evening we had with thanks to
our guest speakers, Estelle Pecchio from Sarah House,
Scott Selis, an Elder Care attorney and his practice's
nurse, Cathy Parello! Sarah House is an assisted living
residence with a new home opening soon in Ormond
Beach. Scott Selis' practice specializes in Life Care
Planning with one fee. Nurse Cathy is a patient
advocate and communicates with families. We learned
that the average monthly fee for nursing home care is
$8,000 a month. Medicare will pay 100% for 20
days in a rehab facility following a 3 night stay in
hospital and 80% for 100 days. With Obama Care,
this does not apply if the patient was admitted to the
hospital under "observation.” V.A. Pension benefits
soldiers who have been in combat and their widows
with a $2,200 a month allotment.
Thank you to our speakers.
Collection of Shoes for our Sister Diocese at the ODCCW Convention
The 47th Annual ODCCW Convention will be held in Melbourne at the
Crowne Plaza Oceanfront on April 25-27 hosted by the women of
Southern Deanery. The theme this year is “Christ Be Our Light.”
We will be collecting NEW shoes for the children in our Sister Diocese.
It's amazing what we can accomplish as council sisters but we need your
help. Eastern Deanery is collecting the new children's shoes sizes 2 and
3 but we will also take other sizes if you have them. Sturdy, tennis type
shoes are the best. Funds are also accepted for the purchase of shoes. Your last chance to donate a pair will
be at the April general meeting.
Prize Incentive Tickets will be sold at our April meeting to help offset the cost
of the convention. The cost is $1 per ticket or the book of 6 for $5. First prize
is an heirloom-quality handmade quilt. 2nd prize is a 3-day/2-night stay at the
Crowne Plaza Melbourne-Oceanfront, plus $200 cash. The 3rd prize is a 10
part DVD series by Fr. Robert Barron and Word on Fire.

Legislation
Many important topics were discussed at Catholic Days at
the Capitol. Some of the most important were:
24-hour reflection period before an abortion is
performed, SB 724 (Flores) / HB 633 (Sullivan)

Restoring the per-pupil scholarships for the VPK
Program to 2007-2008 school-year funding levels

Expansion of Kid Care for lawfully residing immigrant
children, SB 294 (Garcia) / HB 829 (La Rosa)


Requiring a unanimous jury decision in order to recommend a sentence of death, SB
664 (Altman) / HB 139 (Rodriguez, J.) Current law requires a unanimous jury only during the determination of guilt phase and a simple majority (7-5) during the sentencing
portion of death penalty cases.
Be on the lookout for an action alert asking you to urge the members of the Criminal
Justice Committee to vote 'yes' on SB 664.
God bless, Linda Guidotti, Legislation Chair
Queen for a Day
The Queen for the Day will be announced at
the
April
14th
General
Meeting.
Besides being honored
and recognized, the
queen will get flowers
and a free ticket to the
Installation Luncheon
on May 3 at the Halifax
River Yacht Club.

COMMISSION REPORTS
Spirituality
Dear Sisters in Christ,
As we enter into the holiest times of the year, we are overwhelmed by the great Love Jesus has
shown for us by shedding every drop of His Precious Blood for the remission of our sins. This is what He
did for us and we have been making special efforts during Lent to return Love for Love. All that we do,
done in Love, shows we are following in Jesus' footsteps. St. Paul tells us, "The greatest of these is Love."
Love in this life is Love for all Eternity. May your lives be filled with the beauty and joy of Love. May all
we do, be done for His greater Honor and Glory.
May the Easter Season bring us all closer to God through the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Special blessings to all. Sr. Marie Tougas, sfcc, Co-Chair
How does grace work in our everyday lives,
especially when we are going through trials or suffering?
1. With God’s grace, we can endure hardships with a godly attitude. We will even be able to
rejoice in what He is doing in us through adversity.
2. Grace builds our confidence in God. Nothing looks hopeless when we keep our eyes on Him
instead of on our problems.
3. We discover God’s sustaining presence as He walks with us every step of the way.
4. Because we have experienced His care for us, we are then
able to show empathy and love to others facing hard times.
5. During fiery trials, grace works to transform us so that
others can see Jesus reflected in us.
Difficulties in life are unavoidable. We need a daily dose of God’s
grace to live a victorious Christian life.
Have a glorious Resurrection Day and Easter blessings!
With loving prayer, Pat Fries, Co-chair
Leadership
Our next general meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 14

Caps of Love ~ Last Chance
Our POP CCW will be working with the NCCW to be good stewards of our earth and
raise money to buy wheelchairs for disabled children by collecting non-metal caps for
recycling. Plastics caps are a different grade of plastics from bottles and are recyclable

Respect For Life
On Friday, March 13th, members of Prince of Peace parish, including Father Bill
were present to pray and rejoice over the closing down of the Mason Avenue abortion
clinic. Finally all of the prayers have been answered… Praise God!
Our annual Baby Shower is coming up on Mother’s Day weekend, May 9 and 10.
On the Sunday prior to the shower we will have the crib in the lobby of the church to
remind people to bring baby clothes and diapers on the following Sunday. Please sign up
at the April General Meeting or call Calvie Dean @ 386-274-4400 to oversee the crib after
the Mother’s Day weekend Masses. This event will also be advertised in the church

Hello Ladies:
The year has flown by so quickly and here we are again…time to enjoy
our annual Trash & Treasure fund raiser.
It’s spring and a great time to check out your closets and cabinets for those items that you have not looked
at for years. We need donations of dishes, small working appliances, books, bedding, jewelry and all
kinds of cut glass and crystal items. Toys for children and clothing for all are needed. We do not have
adequate space for large furniture at this time but I’m sure our “Like New Shop” would love to have it.
Our maintenance person Ray, has graciously given us some space in the
Quonset Hut in back of the church for drop-off of all household items. The
doors will be open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The
sale of these items will assist the CCW in raising funds for the scholarship that
will be given to two students this year.
If you are interested in renting a table as a Vendor for either day or both Saturday and Sunday, please
contact Louise Marie Trudel at 386-672-2979 or E-mail her at [email protected]. Set-up for your
table will be on Friday, April 24th from 12:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
Thank you all for your help and we are all looking forward to a fun and successful event for our Trash &
Treasure Sale in 2015.

CCW Sisters in Christ,
We do know you work around the clock being His Hands and
Feet but find it very cumbersome to give in the hours you work.
It would be nice to report them. But for time constraints our
Bishop Noonan would definitely commend each of you. He
sends out messages to thank all for being there for him and Jesus,
Our Savior. A BIG THANK YOU for the volunteer hours.
We will be having our EDCCW Spring Board Meeting on April
18, 2015 at St. Ann’s Debary. I am attaching herewith the details
of the meeting (See page 14). Please try to attend as one of our oldest and vivacious
speakers, Winkie LeFils, will be there. It is really an honor to have her at our meeting.
We are gearing up for our ODCCW Convention April 24 to 27. We are collecting kids
sneakers (not babies) to be sent to our Sister Dioceses. This will help them walk to
school, church and play (See page 2).
Recently I attended The Catholic Days at the Capitol. It was fun meeting members of
the CCW from different deaneries/affiliations. Much behind the scenes work goes into
this day. I commend the hard work put in by the Diocese of Orlando, Office of
Advocacy and Justice who arranged for all our meetings with the Senators and
Representatives and also kept us informed of different proceedings going on.
It was indeed easy for us to jump in and listen to various sessions; a few interesting
ones to note:
Youth Criminal Justice Issues SB 378. This bill is meant to
strengthen civil citations statues dealing with youth who commit a
first-time misdemeanor and have not a life-long arrest record. This
gives them a second chance. It was an interesting case but the
opposition was hitting hard to remove this bill.

(continued)
“Urge House Health Quality Subcommittee to Pass 24-Hour Reflection Period Prior to
Abortion. Representative Sullivan presented the bill to its first committee, the
Health Quality Subcommittee, on Thursday, where it passed 9-4.
B 664 (Altman), which requires that an advisory sentence of death be agreed on by all
twelve jurors who determined a defendant's guilt.
We had good speakers. One that stood out was CFO Jeff Atwater who spoke on faith.
He states, “Faith is the basis for not only my personal convictions, but it is also the basis
of our very system of government. Although George Washington’s religious beliefs
have been debated over the years, he made clear in his 1796 Farewell that he, like many
of our founders, felt religion and morality were necessary to the operation of the
government.” He thanked each one not for just being there, but participating in the
process. As by faith, we are called to be an integral part of this process.
Today we are rocked by the brutal news of Christians being persecuted all over the
world. The day we accept our government as the arbiter of what is acceptable and what
is simply “accommodated” is a day we lose everything those before us fought to
accomplish.
Ladies, it would be nice if we could be of one body to fight injustice.
The pinnacle was the RED MASS! It was so beautiful! It looked as if Heaven had
opened its doors for us. The Knights, Bishops, and the entire procession was something
to witness. We returned with Heaven leading our
pathways. I am attaching a few pictures. (See Page 15)
Let us form a Human Chain spiritually and hold high
the flag of JESUS OUR SAVIOR.
God Bless, Marlene Braganza

I Find Happiness
I find happiness in each little thing –
Sunlight gleaming on a blackbird’s wing,
The spider patiently spinning its web,
Flowers that keep a hummingbird fed,
Colorful leaves that greet the Fall,
The faithful friends who come or call,
A warm shelter from the cold and rain,
Patterns of frost on the windowpane,
The unique mosaic of a butterfly’s wing,
A portent of hope for another Spring,
The antics of children and pets at play,
Sunset at the close of a work-filled day,
The taste of a fresh-baked loaf of bread,
And a peaceful place to rest my head,
The touch of a hand, a smile of love . . .
Thankful blessings from our God above.
