CROSS CURRENTS
Thoughts on a Cathedral Alive
Fr. Joseph L. Waters
Beloved in Christ:
I COMMEND OUR PARISHIONERS: Christmas Season at the Cathedral was joyful and demonstrated an obvious out-pouring of Faith. I also noted how well our parishioners invited and welcomed more of our brothers and sisters to worship with them. I know that God will continue to greatly bless our spiritual journey
in 2015.
AS WE RETURN TO ORDINARY TIME: The Lectionary’s readings for the Second Sunday of the Year call us
to receive more deeply and respond more authentically to Christ’s call to discipleship. The Lamb of God,
who takes away the sins of the world, beckons to us to stretch beyond ourselves and join with fervor his
redemptive mission. The call to discipleship can only be realized in prayers and actions imbued with the
Gospel’s twofold command of love for God and neighbor.
CHRIST CALL ALSO COMES WITHIN OUR FAMILY: Christ’s call to listen, receive his gospel of love and joy
and respond with charity and courage to his commands must be heard within our family and primary vocation. Each family member must step up, as it were, to the call of discipleship alive in the life of their
family. Only in this way can the ideal of family life as a place of growth in maturity and holiness be made
manifest in our world. In the daily living of family life we need to ask not only: “What would Jesus do?”
But also: “What is Jesus calling me to do?” Each of us is an instrument of the Church’s Apostolic Mission and each of us is called to share the burdens of the Gospel especially in family life.
APA TIME: It is time for me to ask our parishioners to begin to think about our Annual Pastoral Appeal.
The annual appeal helps the parish meet its diocesan assessment and share with the larger Church in the
works of charity and the apostolate that God has entrusted to us. Therefore, I reiterate my often stated
message: In order for our Parish to grow as we ought, meet our obligations and do the work that is ours to
do our parish needs to be a “Total Stewardship Parish.” “Total” has to do with the percentage of our parishioners who trust God’s biblical plan for their lives and truly invest in proportionate giving. Presently
this figure is about 20% of our parishioners and about 10 % more of our parishioners who give in some
way during the year. What if…? What would our parish be like, and what would we be able to accomplish if more of of our parishioners made the pledge to: (1) actively participate in Holy Mass every Sunday (2) Prioritize cultivating holiness in their daily use of their time and talent, and (3) Bring to worship
an offering which represents their true gratitude to God and their generosity in returning a portion of their
income which is worthy of God’s many blessings? I ask you to prayerfully imagine the reality that would
result if more parishioners received the call to biblical stewardship. I also ask you to ask how the Lord is
asking you to respond personally to the call to be a “Total Stewardship Parish.” Often people share with
me their prayer for greater trust in God. The practice of stewardship is one way a disciple learns that our
God is trustworthy. God is faithful to his promises; always.
Let us thank God always and for everything –Fr.

St. Jude School is where and how it began.
On September 7, 1954 St. Jude School opened its doors. On May 8, 1968, the news of the establishment
of a new Diocese of St. Petersburg was announced. Our parish church was designated The Cathedral of
St. Jude the Apostle and our St. Jude School became The Cathedral School. We Thank God for the many
blessings bestowed on our school. We are grateful for the leadership of the many principals, teachers and
religious men and woman who have served the Cathedral School of St. Jude throughout the years.
Celebrate with us as we honor the past 60 years. Reach out to those who became, or have become a special part of your time at St. Jude Cathedral School, a best friend, siblings, or a favorite teacher.
You are invited to join them and others as you stroll the hallways and revisit the classrooms of St. Jude
Cathedral School!
Enjoy the company of others during this trip down memory lane.

The Daring Vocation of Christian Marriage
Saturday, February 7, 2015
8:30 a.m.–Noon
This workshop will look at the particular challenges that
married couples face in their efforts to maintain healthy,

couples deepen the spiritual roots of their marriage relationship.
Dr. Richard R. Gaillardetz is the Joseph Professor of Catholic Systematic Theology at Boston College. He has published more than 100 articles and has authored or edited ten books, including A Daring Promise: A Spirituality of Christian Marriage (Liguori, 2007). He is married to Diana and they are the parents of
four boys.
