On January 26, 2023, Come join Bishop John Noonan and The Catholic Lawyers Guild of Central Florida in the Red Mass. Pray for members of the judiciary including judges, attorneys, and all members of the legal profession. During the Red Mass, Catholics reaffirm their commitment to justice and their faith. 

Father, eternal shepherd, Hear the prayers of your people for your servant Benedict, who governed your Church with love. In your mercy, bring him with the flock once entrusted to his care to the reward you have promised your faithful servants. 

Congratulations to Father Chris

On New Years' Eve December 31, 2009, Father Chris came to our church from Texas. Throughout his year here at our church, his leadership and spiritual guidance has been a blessing to us all. We pray that it is in God’s plan for him to stay here for many more years!

Moonless darkness stands between. 

Past, the Past, no more be seen! 

But the Bethlehem star may lead me. 

O the sight of Him Who freed me. From the self that I have been. 

Make me pure, Lord: Thou art holy; 

Make me meek, Lord: Thou wert lowly; 

Now beginning, and always: 

Now begin, on Christmas day.

 Scripture tells us practically nothing about the first years and the boyhood of the Child Jesus. All we know are the facts of the sojourn in Egypt, the return to Nazareth, and the incidents that occurred when the twelve-year-old boy accompanied his parents to Jerusalem.

In her liturgy, the Church hurries over this period of Christ's life with equal brevity.
