Mission Statement of the Cathedral Parish St. Augustine, Florida

We are Christ’s eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet—sent out to do justice, especially for

the poor and oppressed, to minister to the needs of the community,

to be faithful stewards of God’s creation - awakening faith among the hopeless,

and promoting life even within the culture of death.


FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK Thanks to all who took part in our Parish Mission this

past week. There were certainly many gracious and complimentary comments from many of you. It is my prayer that the fruits of the Mission will continue to grow and nourish us for weeks and months to come.

Today is Pledge Sunday for the Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal (BASA). This Appeal is one of the primary ways that Bishop Estévez is able to fund the needs of our diocesan family. This year the Appeal will fund five specific areas: Education for Seminarians, Catholic Charities, assistance to Catholic Schools, Evangelization efforts, and support for Senior Priests. The total goal for all the parishes of the Diocese is $3.5 million. While no specific financial goal has been set for our parish, the BASA Committee has asked that we set a goal of 400 families from the Cathedral Parish making a financial pledge/gift.

The Church to which we belong is much broader and larger than the Cathedral Parish and the institutions for which our parish is responsible. We are a Universal Church which includes all Catholic parishes, clergy and institutions of the 17-county area of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Your response to the Appeal allows the greater family that is the Catholic Church to respond to the needs of the many.

Love, Father Tom

Cathedral Parish Council meets Tuesday, February 13 at 6:30 p.m. You are welcome to join our Parish Council members as they meet with Fr. Tom and our clergy to discuss issues in our parish. The meeting will be held in the Bishop Baker Parish Center (next to Cathedral Parish School). Rite of Sending to be celebrated on February 18 at 9 a.m. Mass As the Church moves into the Season of Lent, we also begin to pre-pare for the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil for the catechu-mens. Along with them, we also assist the Candidates for Full Com-munion in their final preparations to receive the Sacraments of Pen-ance, Confirmation and Eucharist. The Rite of Sending will be celebrated for these members of our community on Sunday, Febru-ary 18 at the 9:00 a.m. Mass. Rosina Patterson Memorial Scholarship offers assistance with St. Joseph Academy tuition Each year the Sisters of Saint Joseph provide scholarship opportuni-ties for students attending Saint Joseph Academy through the Rosi-na Patterson Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is based on financial need of the family to assist in providing tuition for their child(ren) attending Saint Joseph Academy. Go to www.ssjfl.org and click on “Rosina Patterson Scholarship” for further information and to download the application form. Deadline for submitting applica-tions is Friday, March 2, 2018.

Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT CHAPEL OF THE CATHEDRAL Monday through Friday, following 7 a.m. Mass, until 3 p.m.

Ash Wednesday – The Beginning of Lent

Blessing and distribution of ashes will take place at the following

liturgies: Mass at 7:00 & 8:30 a.m. (School

Mass) and 6:00 p.m. Liturgy of the Word at

12:00 Noon Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of univer-sal fast and abstinence. All Fridays of Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. Fasting is required for all who have completed their 18th year and have not yet reached their 60th year. Fasting al-lows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have reached their 14th year.

Stations of the Cross The traditional Lenten devotion of Stations of the Cross will be offered in the Cathe-dral Basilica of Saint Augustine on all the Fridays of Lent at 6:00 p.m. Beginning Friday, February 23, Cathedral Parish School invites you to join their students and faculty for Stations of the Cross in the Cathedral at 1:30 p.m.


The deadline for submissions to the Cathedral bulletin is noon on Monday, six days prior to bulletin distribution.

BEGINNING FEBRUARY 13 Join us for an inspiring video Bible study: The Bible and the Virgin Mary Discover how Catholic beliefs about Mary build on the Old Testament as well as the Gospels. Learn why the early church used titles like “New Eve” and “Ark of the New Covenant” for Mary. The study will be held on Tuesdays from 7-8 p.m. at St. Bene-dict the Moor Church, beginning Feb-

ruary 13. For more information, please contact Cheryl Kavanaugh, (904) 540-2565 or [email protected]. Respect Life meeting, February 13, 6 p.m. The Respect Life committee is committed to bringing the Gospel of Life through prayer, education and service to our parish communi-ty. Our efforts concentrate on all human life from conception to natural death. Programs involve both youth and adults. All are wel-come to attend our meeting at 6 p.m. on February 13 in the Bracken Room of the Bishop Baker Center. Coordinator is May Oliver. You may contact her at (904) 674-4412 or email: [email protected]. The Saint John’s Bible: Spreading the Word in Text and Image, February 21 Wednesday, February 21, 6:15-7:30 p.m. at the Bishop Baker Center, Cathedral parishioner and Diocesan Ministry Formation Program professor Jack Daniels, Th.D. will discuss the spread of the Gospel over time via the Sacred Scriptures – Old and New Testaments – utilizing the text and images of the Saint John’s Bible Heritage edi-tion. The calligraphers and artists involved in the fifteen-year pro-cess of creating the first handwritten illuminated Bible in over 500 years faced many of the same challenges as the ancient Christian scribes who worked tirelessly to transmit the Word of God in text and image. The Saint John’s Bible volume will be on hand for view-ing. To RSVP, please contact Andrew Tierney by February 20 at (904) 824-2806 ext. 315, or email [email protected]. Living the Eucharist returns to the parish during Lent Living the Eucharist small groups will be returning! Parishioners of Cathedral Parish will be hosting small groups in their homes throughout Lent, using the Living the Eucharist program which dives into the theology of the Eucharist, prays through the Sunday Gospel, and encourages discussion and personal sharing with each group. If you would like to host a Living the Eucharist small group, please contact Andrew Tierney at [email protected] or call at (904) 824-2806, ext 315.

Stewardship reflection for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Often one of our human weaknesses has to do with us believing or thinking we know better than God in relation to what we do and what we do in relation to others. Of course, part of that has to do with our failure to pray and consult the Lord, or even more to make no effort to understand what God may be telling us.

In today’s Gospel Reading from St. Mark, we hear about Jesus curing a leper. In His instructions to the cured man, He says, “See that you tell no one anything,” Of course, the man pays no atten-tion to this instruction from the Lord. Instead, “The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter.”

Surely the man meant well; in fact, he probably thought he was helping Jesus, but the reality as stated in the Gospel is that his diso-bedience hindered the ministry of Jesus, “so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly.” We need to obey the Lord, and we should never think we have a better plan than He does.

Even the eminent scientist Albert Einstein recognized how im-portant Jesus’ teachings are. Einstein said, “As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene. No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”

A person who is concerned solely or primarily with possessing and enjoying, who is no longer able to control his instincts and

passions, or to subordinate them by obedience to the truth, cannot be free.

Interested in becoming an Annulment Companion? Training course begins February 24.

Marriage Annulments can be one of the most misunderstood aspects of life in the Catholic Church. However, because of the increase in divorces and remarriages, the Church must still pro-vide this ministry so that those who wish to remain “in commun-ion with the Church” are given every opportunity to do so. Par-ishes are asked to have lay people trained to be annulment companions. These companions assist those who need more information about the process to provide it, as well as working with individuals to file the necessary paperwork to advance the annulment petition. If you are interested in becoming an annul-ment companion, The Tribunal of the Diocese of St. Augustine will be offering a 4-week training course beginning February 24. Please contact our Pastor, Fr. Tom Willis, if you are interested in being considered for this program.
