February 16, 2020 St. John Vianney Parish Page Three

From the Pastor of February 22/23, 2020, we’ll be celebrating in

our diocese the second Safe Haven Sunday with

the theme, Equipping the Family: Having Criti-

cal Conversations. Safe Haven Sunday finds its

inspiration in the U. S. Bishops 2015 document,

Create in Me a Clean Heart. There, the bishops

write, “The use of pornography by anyone in the

home deprives the home of its role as a safe

haven and has negative effects throughout a

family’s life and across generations.” When a parent discovers that his or her child

or teenager has been looking at pornography,

it can be alarming, hurtful, and even frightening.

In the confusion of the moment, it’s important

for parents to understand that there is a way

forward to a place of healing and grace.

Next weekend, we’ll provide each family with

a full, step-by-step guide for Catholic parents

on how to navigate this difficult situation in the

form of a book, Confident: Helping Parents

Navigate Online Exposure. Once again, this awareness weekend is meant to

draw our attention as a parish community to the

seriousness of the issues of pornography and to

recommit ourselves to take steps to ensure our

homes are safe havens for all. I encourage you to

begin learning now by texting SECURE to 66866

to receive seven days of free emailed digital tips.

I look forward to celebrating our second Safe

Haven Sunday with you next weekend! My prayers and blessings to you all!

Ash Wednesday Liturgical Schedule

The Distribution of ashes will take place at all

Masses on Wednesday, February 26th. Mass times

are at 7, 8:30 & 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will take

place after the 10 a.m. Mass and Eucharistic

Adoration will continue until 5 p.m., concluding

with Benediction. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be available

from 5–6 p.m.

Director of Faith Formation

After 11 years serving as our

Director of Faith Formation

(including 7 years as Director of

Youth Ministry), Frank Boyle has decided that

the time is soon approaching for him to step

down and retire. I am most grateful for Frank’s

dedicated service to our parish over these years.

He has worked very hard to build a strong faith

formation program and sacramental preparation

process for our children, youth and families,

while also providing effective on-going formation

for adults such as our bible studies and faith

enrichment courses. We ask for your prayers as

we begin this transition and start the search for

new leadership at this position. The job posting

for the new position is below: Family Faith Life Coordinator—

St. John Vianney Parish, St. Pete Beach

A full-time position to direct and oversee

programs of catechesis, sacramental preparation,

and on-going faith formation for children and

adults. Good leadership, organizational,

relational skills needed. A strong formation in

the teachings of the Catholic faith essential.

Salary commensurate with experience. To apply, please send cover letter and resumé

to Joanne Tomassi, Parish Operations Manager

at jtomassi@sjvcc.org, or call 360.1147, ext. 202.

Safe Haven Sunday

Dear Families, One issue that’s becoming more

and more difficult for individuals, marriages,

children and families as a whole is the struggle

with pornography. Regrettably, pornography

can impact both children and adults spiritually,

emotionally, physically, and relationally. As you work hard to protect your families,

I want to equip you with the appropriate tools

to form, protect and guide your families on this

specific issue. Thus, next weekend, the weekend

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time St. John Vianney Parish Page Four

Pro-Life Sunday Thank you to the Czyszczon family who brought

up the Rose for Life on February 9th. This month’s

rose is for all who are struggling with infertility,

that their hearts and

Minds be open to the

option of adoption. Volunteers are needed

to bring up the Rose

for Life on the second

Sunday of each month. If you or your family is

interested in bringing

up the Rose for Life,

in memory of a loved one,

you may sign up in the

Rose for Life book located in the front lobby of the

church, or email castingnets4him@gmail.com

School Corner

February is Fun Month for Our School We begin with celebrating Catholic

Schools week; our middle school

students attending state drama

competition; exciting preparation

being made for Mardi Gras, just before Lent

and the Father/Daughter Dance, which takes

place at the end of the month. Many busy and

happy faces. Every 3rd Sunday of the month the generosity of

our parishioners assists us with financial support

as we maintain the highest level of education for

our students. Your generous support offers the

school the opportunity to assist families in need:

help defray the high book costs we have each

year, pay for computer programs that are used in

Classrooms, offset the cost of testing materials

required for 2nd–8th grade and much more.

Thank you for your continued support! We have begun the admission application

process for the 2020/2021 school year and hope to

have a robust enrollment. Our Open House was

successful as we were visited by 25 families who

enjoyed tours of the school; meeting teachers and

seeing energetic students. We look forward to a

prosperous 2020/2021 school year. We, the students, faculty and staff are very

grateful for the support we receive from our

generous parishioners and parents. Children

spend time in the classroom learning important

lessons every day. However, as we all know,

the very best way to learn is through example.

Our students experience examples of compassion,

consideration and generosity from the people in

our parish and school community. The mission of St. John Vianney Catholic School

is to provide a Christ-centered education by

sharing faith and imparting quality academics to

ensure a strong future for the students entrusted

in our care.

Annual Pastoral Appeal Last weekend was commitment weekend for the

Annual Pastoral Appeal. Thank you

to all who remembered to bring

their pledge and/or donation.

If you forgot or haven’t yet decided

how you will be involved, it is not

too late. The campaign is on-going, and pledges

and donations are welcome at any time. God bless

you for your stewardship and your prayers. This weekend we welcome Diane Kledzik, a

speaker from the Office of Marriage and Family

Life, to share how the Annual Pastoral Appeal

helps their mission. The Office for Marriage &

Family Life exists to build up the Body of Christ

in the Diocese of St. Petersburg by providing a

Catholic vision of Sacramental Marriage as an

icon of the love between Christ and His Bride, the

church, by validating the family as holy in all of

the various dimensions that constitute the family

unit, and by regarding the parish community

as a family of families and small communities.

Many services are available through this office,

to help our parish continue to educate couples

and help them develop strong, Christ centered

marriages and families.

Finding Balance!

Christ Renews His Parish Father of gentleness and strength, help

me to find the proper balance in all my dealings with

the world and in all my relations with other people. Sometimes I am headstrong and stubborn; other times

I am fearful and submissive. I overreact to some things;

others I fail to take seriously. I value my faith and my

membership in Your family, but I don’t always show it. Give me wisdom and strength, courage and prudence,

boldness and compassion, so that I may proclaim Your

truth to a world that often follows bright, shining lies. Let me know Your will, and help me to follow it—

humbly, confidently, and lovingly—so that my life will

witness to Your truth and Your kingdom may break

into our world. Blessed be Your name forever and ever.

Amen. Finding balance in our everyday lives is a constant

challenge. We need to be firmly rooted in our faith

and our relationship with Jesus. To accomplish

this means spending time in prayer and quiet time

with the Lord. Pray for the women who are

finding that balance in life as they experience

God’s love on the women’s Christ Renews His

Parish Retreat this weekend. The Team of Christ Renews His Parish

This Weekend is Food Sunday

long way in feeding the homeless. Thank you

Safe Haven Sunday

Equipping the Family:

Having Critical Conversations The constant flood of influence that comes

through the internet and social media in all of

its various forms, along with social pressures

from peers make it difficult for children to live

virtuous and holy lives. In the digital age, it’s

not a matter of if your child will see something

inappropriate online. It’s only a matter of when.

And regrettably, internet pornography is teach-

ing our children how and what to think about

sex and marriage. Next weekend, February 22–23, 2020, the Diocese

of St. Petersburg will be celebrating our second

annual Safe Haven Sunday. This weekend of

awareness will provide free resources to you

to give you confidence of how to talk to your

children about internet dangers, as well as their

personal online and offline choices. Please join us with your prayers and presence as

we prepare for this unique event. To learn more,
