Our Bishop, Most Rev. Gregory Parkes, will be working with all the parishes in the Diocese to implement a mutually shared vision for the Diocese… “Courageously Living the Gospel”.  Our parish will join Bishop Parkes in this mutually-shared vision.  To hear the Bishop’s message for this vision go to our parish website at www.stscholastica.org and click on the Bishop’s video located on the right side just below the menu buttons.  You can also visit the Diocesan website:  https://www.dosp.org/courageouslyliving/ to view the Bishop’s video.

The Family Faith Fest is expected to be the largest event in the 50-year history of the Diocese of St. Petersburg.  All are invited to take part in this one-time event that will bring our community together like never before!  Everyone is invited --your neighbors, cousins, best friends, especially anyone who is searching for hope, faith and the love of Jesus Christ.

Almighty, ever-living God, by our baptism, we have been called to live as missionary disciples of your Son, Jesus Christ.

Grant that we, your people of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, will fulfill our purpose by proclaiming the Good News and inviting all people to encounter the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.

Deepen our trust in you, O Lord, and help us to remain steadfast in our commitment to Courageously Living the Gospel in our homes, neighborhoods, parish communities, and wherever you may lead us.

Together, with the intercession of our Blessed Mother and all the saints who have gone before us, we humbly ask for the courage to live as your disciples standing firm in our Catholic faith, through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
