HURRICANE IRMA Friday, September 8th

As I am writing this Hurricane Irma has not yet arrived. We are preparing a bulletin to transmit to our publisher before the power may go out. Right now the direction of the storm changes a little every time they update the path. Hopefully we did not suffer too badly with this hurricane, but storms are always stressful and a lot of work for everyone with preparations and clean up. The other thought is that our neighbors in the Caribbean certainly did duffer as those small islands were hit pretty hard. Thank you to the staff and parishioners who “stepped up to the plate” and helped us prepare for the storm. By next hurricane season we should have even more protection in place, and preparation for hurricanes should be a little easier. In the meantime let’s keep praying that hurricane prayer! Fr. Mark

A Special Request Regarding Hurricane Preparedness

Events and ministries are numerous at St. Lucie but there is one that is critical to the safety and wellbeing of property and inhabitants: Hurricane Preparedness. We need

a special team that is able-bodied and can give their service at a moment’s notice. Basically, this is to aide in the installation of hurricane windows on the Church, Parish Center, Parish Office and Friary. Your services might never need to be summoned but we do need a team in place so that the work is evenly dispensed and can be accomplished within just a few hours. Please contact the Parish Office at 878-1215 if you are willing to lend a helping hand. This is one team that needs to be dependable during hurricane season. At the time of this writing new Miami-Dade approved hurricane impact windows are being ordered for the Church to protect the stained glass windows.

LIPSTICK AND PURIFICATORS Drinking and accepting Christ from the cup brings us great joy. Unfortunately, for those who wear lipstick, especially dark hues, it is destroying our purificators. No amount of “oxiclean,” bleach, and scrubbing can erase the damage from lipstick stains. Please help us take special care of these fine and delicate linens. If wearing lipstick, please opt to receive Communion in the form of the host and not the cup.

2017 FRIENDS OF THE POOR WALK All are welcome to put on their walking shoes and join us for the 2017 Friends of the Poor Walk to raise awareness and funds for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. This event will take place on Saturday, September 30th from Noon, 11:30 AM until 2:00 PM. Sponsored walkers will start in the parking lot at St. Lucie Catholic Church, walk two miles along Prima Vista to Bayshore Boulevard and back at the Church. For more information and to register please contact Rosemary Konas at [email protected] or (772) 882-8777. Funds raised from this walk will benefit the work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul ministry at the Church.

$35 /Table covers two

days!

NATIVIDAD DE LA SANTISIMA VIRGEN

No es tan habitual celebrar la vida de los santos el día de su nacimiento, más bien, recordamos el día de su muerte. Además del Nacimiento de Jesús, la Iglesia celebra dos nacimientos, el de Juan el Bautista y de la Virgen María. El 8 de septiembre celebramos el nacimiento de la Virgen María y recordamos su papel único en la historia de la salvación. Las lecturas estaban llenas de profecías, empezando con la profecía de Miqueas que presagió que el Mesías iba a nacer en Belén, hasta las palabras del evangelista Mateo que nos cuenta la genealogía de Jesús y el papel de María en esa crónica. En el evangelio de Mateo aparece otra gran profecía de Isaías: “He aquí que la virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo a quien pondrán el nombre de Emmanuel, que quiere decir Dios-con-nosotros”. El nacimiento de la Virgen María fue un acontecimiento importante en el plan de salvación. Elegida para dar vida al Señor Jesús, tuvo el privilegio de presentarlo a todos los pueblos. A través de esa fidelidad a Dios y su amor maternal, la Virgen María nos dio un ejemplo de discipulado fiel. Su total e incondicional “Sí” a Dios que continuó a lo largo de su vida terrenal fue recompensado con el regalo de la vida eterna. La Virgen María fue bendecida tanto como madre como por fiel discípula. Mientras que los evangelios no nos ofrecen detalles sobre su vida terrenal, la Tradición nos dice que María fue la hija anhelada de Joaquín y Ana y que desde pequeña se dedicó a hacer la voluntad de Dios. Su nacimiento señala una realidad importante de fe: Que en el plan de salvación de la humanidad, así como ella fue elegida para ser la madre de Jesús, como hijos de Dios, se nos ha dado la labor de respetar la dignidad y libertad humanas y debemos amar y dar a conocer a Jesucristo al mundo entero.

SOLICITUD ESPECIAL PREPARACION PARA HURACANES

Estar preparados para actuar en caso de un huracán es crítico a la seguridad y bienestar de la propiedad y la población. Necesitamos organizar un equipo de voluntarios en buen estado físico, que puedan ayudar en caso de una emergencia. Básicamente, es ayudar a instalar persianas de huracán en la iglesia, el centro parroquial, la oficina parroquial y la residencia de los sacerdotes. Puede que no solicitemos sus servicios, pero igual debemos contar con este grupo para que el trabajo se distribuya en forma uniforme y se complete en pocas horas. Asimismo, hemos ordenado nuevas ventanas de impacto aprobadas por Miami-Dade para proteger los vitrales de la iglesia.

Por favor comuníquese con la Oficina Parroquial al (772) 878-1215 si está dispuesto a ayudar. Solicitamos personas confiables para realizar este trabajo durante la temporada de huracanes. Gracias por su consideración.
