June 1 marks the start of the 2018 Hurricane Season

Be Prepared:

In the storms of life, we turn to God and pray that we will be spared from harm.  We are also called to take the necessary precautions to protect the precious gift of life adn to minimize damage to property.  Here are  a few helpful reminders:

Evacuation Shelters:

If you are elderly or have special needs, please contact your county's Emergency Management Office to pre-register prior to any storm if you will need to evacuate.
 

Mass Attendance:

All parishioners are urged to use good judgment when planning to travel and from Mass.  In the event that roadways are not clear and weather conditions are unsafe to travel, the faithful are reminded that the obligation to attend Sunday Mass does not apply when there is grave difficulty in fulfilling this obligation (see Code of Canon Law, Canon 1248 §2).

News and Updates:

If a storm threatens our area, please watch your local news for the latest updates.  The diocesan website (www.dosp.org) will post the latest updates affecting our diocese.  Our diocesan radio station Spirit FM 90.5 will broadcast those updates as well.  Should the radio station go off the air, please stay tuned on your television at WFLA Channel 8 for updates.  Also, follow the diocesan Twitter https://twitter,com/DioStPete and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DioStPete/
