A Message from Bishop Parkes In light of the governor’s recent announcement to begin the process of reopening Florida, I wanted to share with you an update on when we might gather together again for Mass. Please know that I would like nothing more than to resume gathering publicly for the celebration of Mass. But this deci-
sion must be made with prudence to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which has sadly affected so many in our country and has taken so many lives. As your bishop, I am very concerned about your health and well-being and I am also very concerned about your spiritual health – your relationship with Jesus and your ability to access life-giving sacraments. I have been praying about next steps and consulting with clergy, staff and public officials in our Diocese. My hope is to resume public Masses within the month of May. One possibility that I am exploring is to first begin with public worship Monday through Saturday when fewer people typically attend Mass. I am not sure if this will happen just yet, but there is one thing I do know with certainty. When we return to our churches, we should all expect changes at Mass, to ensure everyone’s health and safety, which is a top priority. We are researching the best way to bring back the public cele-bration of the Mass while continuing to observe the guidelines of public health officials and preserving the dignity and rever-ence of our liturgical practices. I am also aware that some of you may not feel safe in returning to church, particularly if you are at higher risk due to age or health issues. Accommodations will be made to address this reality. While we patiently wait, I urge you to remain strong in the faith and stay close to Christ in prayer. I hope to have more updates for you in the coming days. Please know that you have been and continue to be in my prayers during this difficult time. Please pray for me, that I may be the leader you deserve, and that God has called me to be. May God bless you!
Stewardship reflection: In the reading from the Acts of the Apostles we see how
the first community of Christians gathered together to discern and resolve how to care for each others’ needs.
As good stewards of the sisters and brothers who gathered around the Eucharistic table, the community of faith
selected those among them who were to ensure that no one was neglected. How do we resolve to serve the needs of our parish family? How do we ensure that those who
might be perceived to be the least of our brothers and sis-ters are not left alone and neglected?
Anointing of the Sick Those scheduled for Serious Surgery should contact the Parish to arrange for the reception of this sacrament prior to their entrance into the hospital. Those in imminent danger of death have a right to the consolation of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick and Holy Eucharist. Immediate relatives should call the Parish 949-4565 . Baptism Baptism for infants and children under seven: Please contact Deacon Frank or Kathy DeSanto at (813) 949-4565 ext 232 or 230 or by email to [email protected] or [email protected] to schedule an appointment prior to deciding on a Baptismal date. Confirmation Teens: Baptized Teens in 9th grade or above may enroll in the Confirma-tion Class by calling Patricia Ikhwan at 949-7331. Adults: who practice their Catholic Faith but have not yet been confirmed, should contact Dea-con Frank or Kathy DeSanto at 949-4565 ext 232 or 230 so special instructions and arrangements may be made for their Confirmation. Eucharist The homebound may receive Communion on a regular basis by contacting the parish office to request this service. Lay ministers assist the pastor in this ministry. Holy Orders If you would like to serve God by preaching the Gospel, celebrating the Sacraments and serving the needy, God may be calling you to be a priest or deacon. For more information contact Fr. Ron or the Diocesan Vocation Director at 727-345-3452 or website: www.spvocation.org or e-mail: [email protected]. Marriage In keeping with Diocesan guidelines, arrangements must be made at least six months before an anticipated wedding date can be set, to allow for the re-quired SIX MONTH preparations for the sacrament of matrimony. Couples need to pre-register for the next Joined in Christ Sacramental Marriage Prepa-ration Program as soon as a decision to marry has been made, by contacting Deacon Frank or Kathy DeSanto at 949-4565 ext 232 or 230 or Email at [email protected] or [email protected] Reconciliation (Confession) Saturday: 3:30 to 4:20 PM, Sunday 4:30— 4:50 PM or by appointment. Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA, RCIA adapted to teens, RCIA adapted to children) Unbaptized adults, older children, or teens who wish to be baptized in the Catholic Faith, or adults, older children or teens already baptized into another Christian community and who now desire full communion with the Catholic Church, should contact Deacon Frank or Kathy DeSanto at 949-4565 ext 232 or 230 or Email at [email protected] or [email protected] .

God is Always With Us In today’s Gospel according to John, Jesus says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled, you have faith in God, have faith also in me.” What is troubling you today? We’ve been going through an extended period where we’ve been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, in our country and around the world. Certainly, this has caused great fear and great anxiety, and our hearts indeed may be troubled. Jesus says to us, also in the Gospel, that He is the way, the truth and the life - that no one comes to the Father except thorough Him. During times of trouble in our lives, times of fear and anxi-ety, we can always look to God and to His son Jesus Christ for comfort, knowing that He loves us and that He leads us and guides us through difficult moments. What is it that is troubling your heart today? Perhaps the loss of a job, loss of income, maybe a family member who is sick, or even somebody who has recently passed away. Look to the Lord during this time in your life. Ask Him to bring you peace and comfort in your suffering. Know that He will never abandon you, but will always be close to you, for He told us that He is always close to the broken hearted. When you participate in Mass, look to God and pray to Him for peace and for strength, that you may be able to endure during those difficult moments. —Bishop Gregory Parkes, Diocese of St. Petersburg
Dios siempre está con nosotros
En el Evangelio de hoy según san Juan, Jesús dice: “No pierdan la paz. Si creen en Dios, crean también en mí”. ¿Qué te turba hoy? Hemos estado lidiando por un largo período con la pan-demia del coronavirus en el país y alrededor del mundo. Y ciertamente esto ha causado un gran temor, una gran ansiedad y puede que nuestro corazón esté turbado. Jesús nos dice también en el Evangelio que él es el camino, la verdad y la vida, y que nadie va al Padre sino es a través de él. Durante estos tiempos de incertidumbre, de temor y de ansiedad podemos recurrir a Dios y a su Hijo Jesucristo para recibir su consuelo, pues sabemos que somos amados y nun-ca abandonados en estos momentos tan difíciles.
¿Qué turba hoy tu corazón? Quizás la pérdida de empleo y por tanto de ingresos, tal vez un miembro de tu familia esté enfermo o aun al-guien que conoces ha fallecido recientemente. Invoca y recurre al Señor en este momento de tu vida. Pídele que te dé su paz y que te con-suele en medio de tu sufrimiento. Sabes que él nunca te abandona y siempre está contigo, pues nos dijo que siempre está cerca del cora-zón quebrantado. Cuando participes en la Misa
entrégate completamente a Dios, pídele su paz y la fortaleza para poder so-brellevar estos momentos difíciles.
- Monseñor Gregory Parkes, obispo de la Diócesis de St. Petersburg
NO TENGAS MIEDO, HAZ EL TRABAJO DE CRISTO
En el pasaje del Evangelio que escuchamos hoy, Jesús iba preparan-do a los apóstoles para un tiempo cuando él no estuviera físicamen-te con ellos. Jesús quiso animar a los apóstoles, aun cuando él sabía que ellos estaban teniendo dificultad para entender. Algunas veces nosotros también tenemos dificultad para entender el camino
del Señor. Sabemos que Dios está con nosotros en Cristo por medio del Es-
píritu Santo, y cuando tenemos que comportarnos de acuerdo con nuestra fe, algunas veces fallamos. Jesús nos dice que no tengamos miedo. Ten fe en Cristo y en sus obras. Podríamos sorprendernos en lo que podemos hacer cuando confiamos y seguimos el camino de Jesús. Se nos asegura que Dios estará con nosotros a lo largo de
ese camino.
Sunday Gospel Reflection by Bishop Parkes Fifth Sunday of Easter
DON’T BE AFRAID. DO THE WORKS OF CHRIST
In the Gospel passage we heard today, Jesus was prepar-ing the apostles for a time when he would not be with them physically. Jesus wanted to reassure the apostles, even though he knew they were having a difficult time
understanding. We sometimes struggle to grasp the Lord’s ways, too. We know that God is with us in Christ through the Holy Spirit, and yet, when we really have to act in accord with our faith, we sometimes falter. Jesus tells us to not be afraid. Have faith in Christ and do his works. We may be surprised at what we are able to do
when we trust and follow Jesus’ way. And we are assured that God will be with us through it all.
Music Ministry Many of our music ministry groups have begun rehearsals in full swing. Here’s some quick info: Children’s Choir (ages 5-11) meets on Tuesday evenings at 5:30pm in the music room which is located in the large porta-ble directly behind Rosary Hall. Junior Choir (11 and up), also meets on Tuesday evenings at 6:20pm. 9:30 choir meets on Thursday evenings at 7pm in the Music Room and sings each week at 9:30am Mass. 11:30 choir meets on Wednesday evenings at 7pm in the Mu-sic Room and sings each week at 11:30am Mass. Both these groups are always in need more singers, men and women. No previous choral experience required, although it is very helpful. Music reading a plus. Our Resurrection Choir sings for funerals and is open to new members. We meet a half-hour before each funeral. No pre-vious experience necessary. If you are interested in this, you can call the parish office and leave me a message, or e-mail me at [email protected]. If you are interested in joining the Spanish Music Ministry or the Life Teen Band, please feel free to visit the following link to find out how to get involved: https://ladyrosary.org/music We have a great and vibrant music ministry which helps God’s faith-ful give praise and worship and grow in their faith. We can use your help to continue to make it the joyful noise that it is. PEACE

CHANGE OF MIND AND HEART FROM NOW ON
During Lent, we participated in penitential practices and focused
on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in order to turn our lives more
fully to the Lord. However, the fruit of our Lenten practices is not
supposed to end on Good Friday or Easter Sunday. Lent is our
annual time to embrace spiritual renewal, which is intended to last.
The change of mind and heart that we embraced in the weeks pre-
ceding Easter are to be our spiritual foundation, shaping our lives
now and into the future. Pause for a moment and ask yourself
what difference Lent made for you this year. If you can point to
some particular change of mind, heart, or behavior, promise your-
self that you will continue to live in this new way in the months and
years to come. If Lent did not have a special impact on your life
this year, now is the time to invite the Lord to show you the way to
more meaningful and faith-filled living in the future.

CAMBIO DE MENTE Y CORAZÓN A PARTIR DE HOY Durante la Cuaresma participamos en ritos penitenciales, la oración, el ayuno y las obras de caridad para que nuestras vidas se dirijan completamente hacia el Señor. Sin embargo, el fruto de nuestras prácticas cuaresmales no termina el Viernes Santo o el Domingo de Pascua. La Cuaresma es nuestro tiempo anual para incluir una renovación espiritual, con la intención de que perdure. El cambio de mente y corazón que incluimos en las semanas anteriores a la Pascua deben ser nuestro fundamento espiritual, formando nuestras vidas ahora y en el futuro. Haz una pausa por un momento y preguntante que diferencia tuvo la Cuaresma para ti este año. Si puedes indicar algún cambio específico de mente, corazón, comportamiento, prométete que continuaras viviendo en este nuevo cambio en los próximos meses y años. Si la Cuaresma no tuvo un impacto en particular en tu vida este año, ahora es el tiempo de que invites al Señor a que te muestre el camino hacia una vida más significativa y llena de fe en tu futuro.

MAKING A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION BY FATHER RON AUBIN
If for whatever reason, you are not able to attend Mass and receive Jesus in Holy Communion, then I encourage you to make a spiritual communion, or better yet, make your entire day a spiritual communion with Jesus. There are several web sites, listed below, that explain how to do just that. But my favorite prayer for maintaining a spiritual communion with Jesus is the Prayer of Saint Patrick, also known as the Breastplate of Saint Patrick: https://www.ourcatholicprayers.com/st-atricksbreastplate.html I’ve adapted this prayer to suit my own spiritual needs and my version goes something like this:
Christ be with me, within in me, before me, behind me, beneath me, above me.
Christ be on my right, and on my left. Christ be in my heart, in my mind, in my soul, and in every fiber
of my being. Christ be in my thoughts, in my words, and in my actions.
Christ be in my eyes (what I see), my ears (what I hear), on my lips (what I say),
in my hands (what I do) and in my feet (where I go). Christ be in my sleeping, in my waking, and in all my doing.
I love Jesus, be with me today, that I might be with you forever.

Un Momento de Corresponsabilidad
Quinto Domingo de Pascua
En la lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles nosotros vemos como se reunió la primera comunidad de cris-
tianos para discernir y resolver juntos cómo cuidar unos de otros de sus necesidades. Como buenos corre-sponsables de las hermanas y hermanos que se re-
unieron alrededor de la mesa Eucarística, la comunidad de fe seleccionó de entre ellos a aquellos que se
asegurarían de que nadie fuese olvidado. ¿Cómo decidi-mos nosotros el servir las necesidades de nuestra famil-ia parroquial? ¿Cómo nos aseguramos de que aquellos
que tal vez sean percibidos como los menores de nuestro hermanos y hermanas no sean abandonados y
olvidados?

Prayer Intention for May Deacons
That those who have heard the
call to become a Deacon will faithfully serve the Church.
