Lighting News!

Posted on April 11, 2022April 11, 2022 by Lauren Pieper

Today, April 11, 2022) New LED lights are currently being installed in the church! We expect this to increase the life of of the lighting and resolve any light outages. A BIG thank you to all who helped make this $11,000+ project possible and to those who came last night after the 5:00 p.m. Mass to remove the pews so the equipment could come in. Also, we are ICREDIBLY thankful for the generous donor who offered to cover half of the costs. Our expectation is that this project will be completed tomorrow evening and will not interfere with Holy Week and Easter Liturgies.

A Journey of Courage and Faith: Two-Year Update From Bishop Gregory Parkes

Posted on August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 by Lauren Pieper

Shortly after Bishop Gregory Parkes was installed as the fifth bishop of the Diocese of St. Petersburg on January 4, 2017, people began to ask about his vision for the Diocese. Bishop Parkes set out to learn from the priests, religious, deacons, employees, and parishioners about their hopes and concerns. Through listening sessions, gatherings and online surveys, Bishop Parkes heard your concerns about the need to expand outreach efforts to the poor and vulnerable, youth and young adults and fallen-away Catholics. Through prayer, discernment and research, the Visioning Team appointed by Bishop Parkes developed a Mutually-Shared Vision, Courageously Living the Gospel, that was announced on June 18, 2018.

In a newly released video, Bishop Gregory Parkes shares a two-year update on Courageously Living the Gospel, focusing on what we have been able to accomplish with God’s grace and guidance and what has been delayed due to COVID-19.
