Council of Catholic Women
Join us the third Tuesday of each month, September thru May for Mass at 7:00 P.M., followed by a 7:30 P.M. meeting and light refreshments.
Are you registered in the parish? Please do not take for granted that you are registered in the parish just because you attend mass here. If we have no record of your parish membership it could be quite embarrassing to us, or to you or your family, when someone wishes to make wedding plans, have a baby baptized, or if you have been asked to act as a sponsor for baptism or confirmation. Please fill out a census form, which is located at the entrances of the Multi Celebrational Building (MCB), and mail it to the parish office, or place it in the collection basket.
Baptism
Baptisms are celebrated on Sunday after the 12:00 Noon Mass. Parents must be registered and active members of the parish for at least three months. No confirmed dates are given before approval by the pastor. Contact the parish office two months in advance. Godparents must be confirmed, practicing, Roman Catholics and must obtain a sponsor certificate from their parish. In order to avoid disappointments, do not book travel plans with family, Godparents, etc. until a confirmed date has been assigned through the parish office (561) 966-8878.
Marriages
Notify the parish office at least four months in advance.
Ministrations to the Sick
We appreciate knowing when a parishioner is in the hospital or homebound. Please call the parish office.
ENCOURAGEMENT
This Sunday's Gospel is our final selection from Mark for this liturgical year. It is taken from the end of Jesus' teaching in Jerusalem immediately preceding the account of his arrest and passion. In it Jesus gives his disciples hope to sustain them through his passion and death and any persecution or suffering that they would encounter after his resurrection. The words from the book of Daniel also provided hope and encouragement to the people of Daniel's time. The encouragement in these scriptures is meant for us as well, for none of us will escape tribulation in our lives. Followers of Jesus will be able to endure suffering with joyful hope, knowing that Christ's love will lead us along the way of discipleship and give us eternal life with God.
Those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever
(Daniel 12:1-3).
You are my inheritance, O Lord! (Psalm 16).
Where there is forgiveness, there is no longer offering for sin (Hebrews 10:11-14, 18).
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away (Mark 13:24-32).

ST. JOSEPH’S DINNER MARCH 31ST 2019
YOUTH MINISTRY is serving coffee and donuts in the parish center after the morning masses on Sunday, November 25th. All middle and high school students are invited (and encouraged!) to help in “ministry of hospitality”. This is a great way to make friends and serve your parish at the same time! Time spent in service to our parish community may be credited to hours you may need for church, scouts, school, or scholarships. Thank you to all the teens who come to help with the preparation, serving and cleaning each week...we couldn’t do it without YOU! Many hands make light work! Now is a great time to start working on those community service hours, and participation in our “ministry of hospitality” is an easy and fun way to do so!
“Offer hospitality to one another…” 1 Peter 4:9
