Letter From The Pastor
Dear Parishioners,
I am speaking at all church Masses this weekend about the 2015 Diocese of St. Petersburg Annual Pastoral
Appeal, themed, “My Good and Faithful Servant.” Thank you to the 847 families who participated in the 2014
appeal. In 2014 our assessment was $200,192 and we collected $215,271.60. The difference has been applied to
our diocesan school assessment. Prayer and sacrificial giving have blessed our parish with success!
For 2015, the diocese has increased its total assessment 1.3% ($11,500,000 to $11,650,000). In turn, our
parish assessment has increased 6% to $211,625. Currently, there are 1,461 registered families in the parish. One
of the goals this year is to surpass last year’s participation rate of 58%. What can we do to motivate all our
parishioners to participate in some fashion? The 2015 APA prayer found on the front page of the bulletin will be
offered as the conclusion of the Prayer of the Faithful at Masses this weekend. Please continue to offer this prayer
over the next several weeks. May the Lord bless your discernment and sacrificial offering to the 2015 Annual
Pastoral Appeal. Thank you for being a good and faithful servant.
Monday, February 2 is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the unofficial conclusion of the Christmas
season and Candlemass Day. Please bring candles from home to the 8:00 a.m. Mass on the day to be blessed for
use throughout the year.
Tuesday, February 3 is the Memorial of St. Blaise. The blessing of throats will take place as the conclusion
of the 8:00 a.m. Mass. It is also Father Augustine’s 40th anniversary of Priesthood. We offer our prayerful, best
wishes to Father as he celebrates this milestone of ministry. After all Masses next weekend, you are invited to the
Conesa Center for receptions to offer your personal best wishes to Father. Also, everyone is invited to join Father
on Thursday, February 12 at 11:00 a.m. for a Mass of Thanksgiving.
These are busy days filled with opportunities to express our faith in love, service and gratitude. May the
Lord strengthen us in our work. God’s blessings to you - Father Kovanis
Father Sebastian
Our visiting priest, Father Sebastian has returned to Germany. We are grateful for his
priestly ministry, help and dedication to Prince of Peace. We are looking forward
to welcoming him in the near future.
