peace. Please keep the Missions in your daily prayers. Please
come prepared next weekend to give generously in the
collecƟon for the Society for the PropagaƟon of the Faith. For

Religious Education News
PRUDENCE
Definition: Prudence is the virtue that helps us to make sound
judgments and directs our actions towards good.
Scripture: Test everything: retain what is good.
1 Thessalonians 5:12
Prayer: Holy God, let prudence be a virtue that drives all that I
think, say and do. Guide my words and actions so that my life is a
reflection of your love.
If there was a time for prudence, this is it. With the onslaught of
social media that allows access to what used to be privileged
information, the practice of prudence is essential. When speaking to
our youth about prudence, encourage them to think before they act.
Point out that by speaking too quickly or acting rashly, they often do
and say things they come to regret. Encourage them to turn to the
Holy Spirit for guidance as they make choices about their lives.
Registration for the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Confirmation
is closed. You can still register your child for non-sacramental
preparation grades using the following web address:
http://conta.cc/1naeLyJ.
Children’s Stewardship Envelopes
Fr. Ignatius is promoting Mass attendance of all our parish families
throughout the year! We hope that our families will help us increase
our Mass attendance of Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. The
quality and meaningfulness of our liturgies only increases when all
of our families actively participate in Mass and enhance their
faith-centered family life.
Religious Education is only able to complete its proper role if our
students are also attending Mass with their family. Fr. Ignatius has
likened it to teaching a child to swim without ever letting them in
the water.
To help us get our children excited about Mass every week, we
provided every student in Religious Education classes as well as our
Annunciation Catholic School students with a set of envelopes.
Students turn in their envelopes each week in the children’s
collection. This will help in recording their attendance at Mass, but
more importantly, they will each have the opportunity to declare “I
was there too!” This is also an opportunity to learn more about
giving back their personal “gifts” to God. On the back of the
envelopes, the gifts of prayer and sharing the child’s time and talents
are emphasized. This is a way for the children to learn the first steps
of stewardship in sharing what they have—their prayers, their time,
and their talents. If they put in their pennies, that is fine, but this is
not a call for the parent to simply give the children money to put in
the envelopes. The purpose of these envelopes is to help our
children learn the lifelong benefits of stewardship and belonging,
not to increase our offertory.
We also provided each family an excellent book called Celebrating
Sunday for Catholic Families to use in the car on the way to and
from Church in order to improve your experience at Sunday Mass.
If your child has not received envelopes or this book and would
like to participate, please contact the Parish Office to be included
in this special endeavor to increase family participation at Mass
on Sundays at our parish.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
RCIA is the process in which we welcome individuals who want to:
 Learn more about the Catholic faith
 Become a baptized Catholic
 Complete the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist
 Participate fully in the life of the Church.
If you or someone you know is interested in journeying deeper into a
relationship with Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church, please
contact Vincent Reilly in the Parish Office at 264-0577.
RCIA regularly meets as part of the 10:00am Sunday Mass. Our next
Wednesday session will be on October 15 at 7:00pm in Haut Hall.
Small Christian Communities Update
Fr. Ignatius is building new Small Christian Communities in our
parish by forming neighborhood groups. Over the summer, we have
formed 12 neighborhoods in our parish boundaries and plan to work
with 4 neighborhoods each year for the next 3 years to build
Christian Communities throughout our parish.
Our first four communities include: Orange Park Country Club,
Fleming Island North, Old Orange Park, and Grove Park. We will be
hosting monthly “Getting to Know You” sessions in these
neighborhoods this year. Our first get together is this Monday in the
Country Club. It is an informal potluck meal and a time to get to
know our neighbors. We will be going to different neighborhoods
each month, so check your mailbox for when it is your chance to
meet with your neighbors.
Our goal is to build Christian communities of faith who know and
care for one another in each of our parish’s many neighborhoods.
These groups will not replace the Small Christian Communities that
have been meeting in our parish for years. Rather, we hope that these
groups will complement each other and strengthen our parish.

St Catherine's Catholic Church is pleased to offer a preventive
health event. Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings, will host their

potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a
leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can
lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs
which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or
irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a
bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the
risk of osteoporosis. Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149

minutes to complete. In order to register for this event and
to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129,
please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit

Knowing, loving, and serving God:
Establish a love relationship with Jesus!
Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ Himself, present in the Holy Eucharist. During Adoration in our chapel, the
Eucharist is exposed in a beautiful vessel
called a monstrance. From the altar, our
Lord gazes at us in the Eucharist, wanting for
us to give Him our hearts, our
burdens, our sufferings, our joys and our sorrows so that He may transform us and sanctify us. In the silence of hearts, we are able to go before Him, to love and
adore Him simply because HE is GOD. [Call 264-1904 to
learn more about a Holy Hour.]

Knights of Columbus is this

We are called to discover and share our gifts with
others. Our parish has many members volunteering
their time and talent to help the parish and our
community.
Sharing Treasure...
Proportional giving means making a
commitment to return a percentage of our income
to God in Thanksgiving for what we have received.
St. Catherine’s Parish is a tithing parish.
Besides our support to the Diocese,
Annunciation Catholic School and the special
collections we take up during the year, we also
support a number of social ministry efforts. Here
are some of the service projects we help:
