MISSION STATEMENT
We CELEBRATE the Gospel when we encounter Jesus Christ in the Sacraments and
through prayer.
We TEACH the Gospel in order to strengthen each family in their knowledge of and
in their relationship with God.
We LIVE the Gospel by seeking justice, granting forgiveness and through works of
service which enhance the spiritual, emotional, social and physical well-being of the
entire community.
This is what the Lord asks of you:
Only this
To act justly
To love tenderly
To walk humbly with your God
Micah 6:8
February 1, 2015

Celebration of the Sacraments
“The purpose of the sacraments is to sanctify men, to
build up the Body of Christ and, finally, to give worship
to God. Because they are signs, they also instruct. They
not only presuppose faith, but by words and objects they
also nourish, strengthen and express it. That is why they
are called ‘sacraments of faith’.”
— Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1123

Baptism
Requesting the Sacrament of Baptism for a child involves a
serious obligation and a faith commitment on the part of
both parents. In order to prepare both parents for this task,
they will be requested to attend a Baptismal Preparation
Session prior to the Baptism. To register, call the Family
Life Office (231-0671). The Sacrament of Baptism is
celebrated on the 2nd Saturday of each month. A date for
Baptism cannot be scheduled until the necessary
preparation has been completed. Parents are encouraged to
begin preparation prior to the birth of their child.
Confirmation
Candidates are those already baptized and who have
received the necessary formation in religious education.
Candidates must be at least in the 9th grade to receive this
Sacrament.
Reconciliation
The Sacrament is celebrated each Saturday 11:00 AM 12:00 Noon except Holy Saturday.
Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament is administered on request to those who are
ill at home, in the hospital or nursing home. Please call the
Parish Office (231-0671). It also is administered on the First
Saturday of every month after the 8:00 AM Mass.
Matrimony
Congratulations on your engagement. Call the Parish Office
(231-0671) to make arrangements at least six months in advance.
It is necessary that either the prospective bride, groom or their
family are registered members of Holy Cross Parish.
Holy Orders
If you feel you may have a vocation to serve the people of
God in the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, contact Fr. Thomas
Lafreniere at the Diocesan Vocation Office (561-7759555) or speak to one of the parish priests.
Jesus’ words carried great authority with the ordinary
people. Why? Because his words had the ring of truth,
and people knew he meant them. Jesus’ words can
change our lives if we act on them.
First Reading (Dt 18:15-20). Moses foretells the
coming of a prophet who will speak God’s word to the
people.
Second Reading (1 Cor 7:32-35). Paul urges everyone,
but especially those who are celibate, to give their undivided
attention to the Lord.
Gospel (Mk 1:21-28). The prophecy of Moses is
fulfilled in Jesus.
Here Mark begins to tell us the
kind of things Jesus did in
proclaiming the kingdom.
Deuteronomy presents Moses as
the ideal prophet (First Reading).
The prophet can never speak on his own authority, but
speaks on behalf of God. The Jews believed that God
would raise up in the last days a prophet like Moses. The
early Christians regarded Jesus as the awaited prophet.
His teaching was given with authority and confirmed by
miracles, the sign that God was with him. In today’s
Gospel we see how Jesus spoke with authority, and how
the ordinary people recognized this.

From the Pastor . . .
It is with great regret that I have to inform you that I had an accident and from the accident I broke one leg and injured
the opposite leg’s knee cap. I am not sure how long the healing process will be, therefore I am working on a
replacement. Luckily, Fr. Terry Ryan will be with us starting on February 5.
Needless to say, the recuperation process does not appear to be an easy one. However, with the expertise of my
physicians and therapists I certainly hope to be back on my feet sooner than later. I will keep you posted.
The healing process will be much more beneficial if you would respect my privacy. As always, your prayers would be
very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Fr. Richard Murphy
The 2015 Diocesan Services Appeal is now in
process. The programs, services, and ministries
supported by this appeal meet the larger
diocesan needs of Catholics and others in the
Diocese of Palm Beach. The diocese needs the
financial support of each of us. This year’s
theme is “A Family of Faith in Service to
Others”. We have been truly blessed and this is
an opportunity to share those blessings with
those less fortunate.
SACRAMENT OF
THE SICK
We have added an overflow Mass
at 10:50 AM in the Parish Hall for
your convenience. This Mass is
meant to alleviate not only the
crowds from 10:45 AM but some
of the other Masses on Sunday
and Saturday afternoon.
The Sacrament of the Sick with
the Rite of Anointing will be
administered following the 8:00
AM Mass on Saturday,
February 7.
The Corporate Communion Breakfast will be served at the Vero Beach Country Club immediately
following the 9:30 AM Mass on February 9, 2015. We are honored to have Rev. Brian King, Secretary
to Bishop Barbarito as our guest speaker. Tickets are $25.00; they are available at the Parish Office. If you reserve a
full table, please plan on purchasing the tickets as a group. Tickets must be purchased by February 2. Questions, please
call Janice Stillings, 772-577-6817.
Women’s Guild Community Outreach Program
Donations of casserole and non-perishable items for our homeless agencies are still needed. Each food item helps
feed the hungry in our community. If at all possible we would like to donate at least 10 casseroles to each of the
three agencies we support - this will give them two dinners. If you do not care to make a casserole you may
purchase a frozen one. If you need a tin to make one please call Mary Dvoran at 772-569-6928 and she will
arrange to get one to you. Thanks so much for your participation in this worthwhile project! Casseroles and nonperishable items should be dropped off before the 9:30 AM Mass.
We are very pleased to announce that
Fr. Terry Tryan, a Paulist Priest, is
coming back to visit with us. He will be
here from February 5 - March 15. As in
the past, Fr. Ryan Terry has been a great
help to us and this year he will do a
series on the spirituality of several mystics. This series
will take place following the 8:00 AM Mass Thursdays
starting February 12 - March 12. The first session will
focus on John Tauler part I.
ALUMNAE OF THE SACRED HEART
Treasure Coast Alumnae of the Sacred Heart
invite new alumnae residents to join them each
month for the first Friday Mass at 12:15 PM in the
Church - this month on Friday, February 6. There will be
a luncheon following the Mass. For more information
please call Mariclare Beggy at 228-8777.

Stewardship is certainly
a “catchword” in the
Church today. However,
for us it is not just a
word but a way of life.
It is the understanding that we are very blessed and that
we are called to share those blessings with others.
WE ARE STEWARDS . . .
and this is how we live out our stewardship!
To be a good Christian steward is to recognize that God
has blessed us richly. We also need to acknowledge those
blessings by returning a portion of our gifts of time,
talent, and treasure in gratitude.

Treasure - The offertory for the weekend of January
24-25 totaled $34,426.16 of which $3,017.16 was
from on-line contributions.
We will have a Food Drive next weekend, Feb. 7th8th to benefit the Food Pantry of Indian River and
Our Father's Table. Both these Vero Beach agencies
help greatly to feed those in need. Please bring
canned goods or non-perishable items when you
come to Mass next weekend. They can be left in the
Memorial room of the Church vestibule.
May God bless and reward your stewardship.
