Welcome
New Members:
To be a member of our parish requires registration and participation in worship, sacraments, the life
of the parish, and regular financial
support of the parish. This is a basic
consideration when requesting
marriage, baptism, or to act as a
godparent/sponsor. Register in the
front office or on-line.
We are so proud of all of the graduating seniors, their dedication to the
parish and its ministries, and their
desire to serve. We are praying for
all of you as you take the next steps
in your lives!

Around the parish &
Greater Gainesville
Want to help boost the Grace Marketplace kitchen?
Our priests will be attending their
Annual Convocation
Monday, 04 May through
Friday, 08 May 2015.
When the new Grace kitchen eventually opens, funds will
still be needed for its operation. Local associations of
lawyers and doctors (the Eighth Judicial Circuit Bar Association and the Alachua County Medical Society) are
spearheading a drive to raise $50,000 toward that end.
Our daily Mass schedule for this week
will be as follows:
Monday, 4 May, 12:00pm
Tuesday, 5 May, no Masses
Wednesday, 6 May, 12:00pm
Thursday, 7 May, 12:00pm
Friday, 8 May, 12:00pm
You can donate online at:
http://pitchinforthekitchen.gracemarketplace.org/
or you can write a check payable to “Alachua County Coalition for the Homeless and Hungry, Inc.” (the organization that operates GRACE under contract with the City of
Gainesville) and email your donation to the EJCBA at PO
Box 13924, Gainesville, FL 32604.
The drive ends May 10.
From the Office for Vocations
May 3, 2015 – Fifth Sunday of Easter
Shall the Parish Carry On At Grace?
Jesus, the true vine, promised that if we live in him we will
produce abundantly. What are the signs of new life in you?
Find ways to nourish your relationship with Jesus. (John
15:1-8). If you have a question about a vocation to the
priesthood or religious life, contact Fr. David Ruchinski,
Vocation Director, at (904) 262-3200 ext. 101 , or email
[email protected].
The latest news from Grace Marketplace is that their kitchen will not become operational this summer, as they had
hoped. Do you want our parish to continue providing
meals every Monday at Grace, at least through the summer? If so, we’ll need some new volunteers to rebuild our
teams somewhat.
We hope to continue with four teams, which will mean that
each volunteer will work a few hours only one Monday
each month. We need people to cook the food, people to
serve it, and others to help pay for it. We also need two
new team leaders. Please consider making a commitment
to help once a month, at least through the summer.
mass schedule for summer term
Please note the following changes to our weekly schedule
beginning May 3 and continuing through August 16:
For more information, or to volunteer, please write to: [email protected] or call 352-378-4946. We hope to
get enough volunteers to enable the parish to carry on at
Grace.
Liturgy of the Hours (Morning Prayer, Compline, etc.),
Holy Hours and the 7:30pm Sunday Mass are suspended
during the Summer.

STEWARDSHIP SPOTLIGHT -
FIFTH
SUNDAY
OF EASTER
Last week we had the Baccalaureate Mass to send off our Catholic Gator graduates. For the rest of the students, the semester ended last week, and most of them are returning home for the summer. Many of the students are on fire with the
Spirit and are extremely active in our parish faith community, serving in a variety of liturgical ministries. Their absence
over the summer creates holes in the rosters of liturgical ministers. Now is a great time to step up and get involved in
liturgical ministries.



Altar servers. We have many adults who assist with mass at the altar. Altar Servers should be able to maintain a
reverent and attentive disposition during the Mass.
Music. Music is integral to our beautiful liturgies. Singing or instrumental talent is needed, as is time for practice.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. You should have reverence for the Eucharist in giving the Body and
Blood of Christ to your brothers and sisters.
Lectors. To proclaim the Word of God at Mass, you should be able to read clearly and have a well- developed and ongoing relationship with Sacred Scripture.
Altar Guild. The Altar Guild maintains and beautifies the church by changing and washing the altar cloths and arranging flowers and adornments for liturgical seasons.
Hospitality. Although hospitality ministers help with the collections, our goal is to have one or two at each entrance
to the church greeting people as they come to Mass and as they leave. We want to make St. Augustine's as welcoming
of a faith community as possible. Ideally, every parishioner would be a hospitality minister regularly.
Please contact Doug Ghizzoni ([email protected]) or see the liturgical minister web page for more information (http://www.catholicgators.org/ministries).
