Missonary Co-op

Next Sunday we have the privilege

to host Fr. Fernando Caindec,

Diocesan Mission Director of the

Diocese of Sorsogon in the Philippines.

Fr. Fernando comes at the invitation of Bishop

Parkes in conjunction with the Diocesan Mission-

ary Co-Op program. The Diocese of Sorsogon has

a population of more than 700,000, of which 87%

are Catholic. The Missionary Co-Op program of the Diocese of

St. Petersburg matches each local parish with a

mission parish or diocese in need of monetary

assistance. This year we have been matched with

this diocese in the Philippines. Next week there

will be a second collection for their mission fund.

Please be as generous as your means permit.

God bless you.

President of U.S. Conference Of Catholic Bishops Calls for Calm Amid Violent Protests in Charlottesville August 12, 2017 washington—Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, of

Galveston-Houston, President of the U.S. Confer-

ence of Catholic Bishops has issued the following

statement in response to the violent protests in

Charlottesville, Virginia that has left three dead

and at least 19 injured. Cardinal DiNardo’s full statement follows: On behalf of the bishops of the United States, I join

leaders from around the nation in condemning the

violence and hatred that have now led to one death

and multiple injuries in Charlottesville, Virginia.

We offer our prayers for the family and loved ones of

the person who was killed and for all those who have

been injured. We join our voices to all those calling

for calm. The abhorrent acts of hatred on display in Char-

lottesville are an attack on the unity of our nation and

therefore summon us all to fervent prayer and peaceful

action. The bishops stand with all who are oppressed

by evil ideology and entrust all who suffer to the

prayers of St. Peter Claver as we approach his feast

day. We also stand ready to work with all people of

goodwill for an end to racial violence and for the

building of peace in our communities. Last year a Task Force of our Bishops Conference

under Archbishop Wilton Gregory proposed prayers

and resources to work for unity and harmony in our

country and in our Church. I am encouraging the

bishops to continue that work especially as the Feast

of St. Peter Claver approaches. —usccb.org

Welcome Mrs. Gina Code! St. John Vianney Catholic School Principal! As we begin our new school

year, we welcome all our new

and returning faculty, staff,

families and students!

We hope your summer break

Was fun and relaxing! In a

special way we welcome to our parish and school

community our new principal, Mrs. Gina Code.

Mrs. Code comes to St. John Vianney from the

Diocese of Venice, where she served as the

principal of Epiphany Cathedral Catholic School

(PK–8) for the past two years. Mrs. Code

relocated to Florida in 2014 when she became the

Catholic education in Kentucky where she spent

15 years teaching and serving in numerous

leadership roles across various grade levels from

Kindergarten through 8th grade. Mrs. Code is the mother of three children and

feels blessed to be joining the SJV community.

Without a doubt, I know God placed me here to do a

good job for the children and families of this school.

I have enormous passion for Catholic education and

I am excited about leading St. John Vianney into the

future, said Mrs. Code. We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Code to our

SJV community!

Has Life Got You Down?

Christ Renews His Parish If you have attended a women’s

CRHP retreat in the past, come

join other women of the parish

as we begin our fall weekly gatherings each

Thursday night in the Vianney Center from

7–8:30 p.m. Each week we reflect on a particular

scripture and meditation and share (if you choose)

on how that scripture influenced your life.

Imagine a room full of women in touch with the

Holy Spirit...heavenly laughter and love abounds.

Don’t miss such joy and blessings in your life.

Take time; make time to spend 90 minutes with

Jesus each Thursday night. Sometimes the

answers to life are really very simple. Don’t bother to give God instructions, just report

for duty.

—Corrie ten Boom For more information, contact the parish office

at 360.1147.

Want to learn more about the Catholic faith? Are you baptized but haven’t received

all of your sacraments? Are you interested

in becoming Catholic or reconnecting with

your Catholic faith?

Join us for an RCIA Inquiry meeting

on Sunday, September 10th at 2 p.m., or

Tuesday, September 12th at 7 p.m.

in St. John Vianney Catholic Church.

RCIA Volunteers Needed!

RCIA journey inquirers. A sponsor is an active

Catholic who is willing to be a friend, listener

and guide. You are not expected to know every

aspect of the church’s teaching, but rather

simply be an example of a Catholic living your

faith as best as you can. Sponsors are supported

by our parish’s RCIA team who are available

to answer your questions. Contact Holly Benfield, at 727.360.1147,

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time St. John Vianney Parish Page Eight

A Reminder Please turn off cell phones and other mobile

devices before entering the church for Mass

or any other liturgical service.

Have You made A Consecration to Jesus Through Mary? On May 13, 1981, during the celebration of the

Feast of Our Lady of Fatima in St. Peter’s Square,

Pope Saint John Paul II

miraculously survived three

shots at point-blank range by

a professional assassin.

On the one-year anniversary

of the assassination attempt, he traveled to

Fatima, Portugal to offer his gratitude to Mary as

he was certain it was a mother’s hand that guided

the bullet’s path and saved his life. He renewed his

consecration to Mary and in his homily taught

the importance of Marian consecration for all

Catholics. As Saint Louis de Montfort writes in

True Devotion to Mary, consecration to Jesus through

Mary is “the surest, easiest, and most perfect

means” to becoming a saint. Join us on Sunday, September 10th in the

Vianney Center, St. Francis Room, as we begin

a 33–day preparation for Marian Consecration.

For 6-weeks, using 33–Days to Morning Glory by

Fr. Michael Gaitley, we’ll individually read about

and reflect on four great Marian giants: St. Louis

de Monfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Saint

Mother Teresa and Pope Saint John Paul II.

They’ll teach us the secrets to drawing closer to

the Heart of Jesus through the Heart of Mary.

In our weekly meetings, Sundays from 9:40–

11:15 a.m. we will share our insights within our

small group and then watch a 30-minute video.

The video by popular author and speaker,

Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, brings our individual

reflections and group experience into a clear and

live-able focus. If you’re looking for a simple way to be spiritually

renewed, develop a deeper relationship with Our

Merciful Savior, and grow in holiness, join us for

33–Days to Morning Glory Small Group. For more information and to reserve a book,

contact the parish office at 360.1147.

Enthrone Jesus as King of Your Home

Legion of Mary The Enthronement of the Sacred

Heart in the family is recognition

of Jesus as King of the family. By acknowledging Him as our King,

we become His loyal subjects through love.

We are reminded by the picture of His heart,

given at the Enthronement, that He rules over

our home and over the world through his great

love for us. This beautiful ceremony takes place at the home

of the family, and all members of the family

participate. The ceremony consists of special

prayers, presentation of a plaque of the Sacred

Heart, the Blessed Mother, and a certificate of

Enthronement, ending with the blessing of the

home by one of our clergy. The Legion of Mary will help in the preparation

of this ceremony, and representatives of the

Legion of Mary will attend the ceremony.

There is no preparation required by the family. For more information, please contact

the parish office at 360.1147.
