WAKE UPTHE WORLD!
2015 Year of Consecrated life
From the Pastor’s Desk:
February 8, 2015
In a powerful way, today's liturgy brings our attention to reflect upon the meaning of family - God's family- a
family of believers, becoming "all things to all, to save at least some." Being God's family, then, calls us beyond our
own individual family, our own parish or city, beyond social class. It is literally a family of everyone, open to
everyone, for the sake of everyone. Let today's celebration shape us more fully as God's family, where the Lord's
Table beckons all to be made one.
In the context of family, this weekend in our parish we will conduct the Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal.
The theme of the Appeal is: "One Faith. One Family”. It is a reminder of who we are, who we are called to be. Every
time we say the creed, we reaffirm the fact that we are members of “one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.” How
often do we reflect on these words? The Appeal provides an opportunity to reflect on the fact that every Catholic is a
part of their local Church or parish, and part of the universal Church. Each of us is responsible not only for our own
parish, but also for the well-being of our Church throughout our diocese and the world. As “One Faith and One
Family”, all are asked to give to this campaign that supports and provides critical funding to four very important
ministries: pays for the education of our seminarians, helps the poor and those facing emergencies through Catholic
Charities, provides support for designated Catholic schools, and enables new communications and evangelization to
our faithful, our youth and young adults, and our fallen away brothers and sisters.
Stewardship is an act of faith, it is at the heart of our lives as faithful members of the Church. It means we are
ready to recognize all we have and all we are is a gift from God. How will you respond to His gifts to you?
Today when you are handed an envelope at Mass, please make a pledge if your circumstances allow. Your gift
should be something in addition to what you give to your parish. Every gift is important, and as one large family, we
can do so much more! If you received your pledge form in the mail, and have already returned it, thank you! For
those of you who did not receive a mailing or need more time to respond, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process
at all Masses again next weekend.
As your Pastor, and a member of Bishop’s Advisory Stewardship Appeal Committee for the last 2 years, I want to
assure you that the funds you contribute are deeply appreciated by our seminarians and the thousands of people who
will benefit from your generosity. On behalf of Bishop Estévez and myself, I thank you for your generous
contribution to the Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal. May God bless you!
In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a Day of Prayer for Women and Men in Consecrated Life. This
celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd, also known as Candlemas Day,
symbolizing Christ who is the Light of the World. So, too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of
Jesus Christ to all peoples. The celebration of World Day for Consecrated Life is transferred to the following Sunday
in order to highlight the gift of consecrated persons for the whole Church. I invite you to pray for all those who have
made commitments in the consecrated life, and be sure to thank them on their special day. In our parish, we are
blessed with the ministry of the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Family. Grateful for their presence, it is my prayer
that they may continue to be inspired by Jesus Christ and respond generously to God's gift of their vocation.
The Church also celebrates today - World Marriage Sunday - showing the fundamental importance of marriage
and the family to the life of Christianity. This special day provides an opportunity to celebrate and to pray for the gift
and blessing of marriage and to affirm and support engaged and married couples.
Wednesday, February 11th is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and World Day of the Sick, an occasion of reflection
and prayer for all those who suffer, but also for those who work in health care ministries. At the morning Mass we
will celebrate the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Please join us and extend an invitation to those who suffer
and to those who work in the medical field.
Have a blessed week!
With prayers, Fr. Andy

FATHER - DAUGHTER DANCE
COME AND HAVE AN EVENING OF FUN,
FOOD, AND MUSIC
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In 1565, a small band of Spanish explorers and priests
celebrated Mass on the shores of North Florida in preparation
for starting a settlement there. They named their new home St.
Augustine in honor of the saint on whose feast day they
sighted land. It was here our Catholic faith was firmly planted
in this country. As we reflect on the importance of this year; let
us remember if we truly believe in One Faith and act as One
Family, we can continue to build the kingdom of God. When
the history of the next 450 years is written, may it be said of us
what good disciples we were! We faced economic uncertainty
and shifting demographics; we faced threats to the church
from society and scandal from within. We prayed and
celebrated the Eucharist together. We invested in the life of
the church through our sacrificial gifts. And through our efforts
and the grace of God, people in our diocese came to know the
love of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Bishop’s Annual
Stewardship Appeal enables our diocese to reach out to those
who need to know the love of Jesus and his message of hope
and salvation. It provides us with an opportunity to live as good
stewards and to return a portion of the gifts God has blessed
us with. I pray that each of you will give to this Appeal not
because you are asked, but because you want to give –
knowing that your gift is faith in action. We can do so much
more when we serve him together.
I am,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Rev. Felipe J. Estévez, S.T.D.
Bishop of St. Augustine

Living The Discerning Life
Fr. Timothy Gallagher, O.M.V. of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, leads a ten-part retreat based on the 14 rules
of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Fr. Gallagher explains how St. Ignatius and others converted their lives from ones of
emptiness and sin leading away from God to lives rich in the fullness of God’s grace. In ten episodes Father
Gallagher shows how we can apply Ignatius’ 14 rules to our daily lives helping us to draw closer to the Father.
Meetings take place @ 7pm in the Hope Room on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month
All who are interested can come to a meeting or may contact the Adult Faith Office.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH CORNER - THE BIBLE
There are many ways to approach reading the Bible. You could, of course, start at Genesis and read your way through
Revelation. It is one way to do it and millions of people do it this way every year. They start the year with a resolution to
read the Bible, and they do, from start to finish. The primary problem with this approach is that the books are not even
placed in chronological order, and so the bigger picture can be lost. The Bible was not assembled to be read from
beginning to end.
Start with the Gospels-Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Don’t just read them once. Read them over and over, fifteen or
twenty minutes a day, for a whole year. Allow the life and teachings of Jesus Christ to sink their roots deep into your heart,
mind, soul, and life.

Developing Community through Stewardship: February 8; Fifth
Sunday in Ordinary time:
“Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a
deserted place, where he prayed...He told them, ‘Let us go on
to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this
purpose have I come.’ ” Mark 1:35, 38
In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of
stewardship. Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes healing the sick and preaching. Yet, Jesus also makes time to
be alone in prayer. It is through prayer, spending time with
God, that we find the strength to do what God wishes us to do.
Be sure to find time every day to be with God.

Guidelines for the Reception of Holy Communion
As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of
the Mass when we receive Holy Communion, the true
Body and Blood of our Lord. Yet, we Catholics should receive Holy
Communion only when we are living in communion with the
Catholic Church and in the state of sanctifying grace and have made
the appropriate fast from food and drink.
Because of the connection we draw between being in full
communion with the Catholic Church and receiving Holy
Communion, we cannot invite those who are not Catholic to share in
Holy Communion with us. Still, we welcome all to this celebration
of the Mass as our brothers and sisters, and pray that our common
baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit will one day draw us closer
“..that all may be one.” (John 17:22).
PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Loving God, You call all who believe in you to grow perfect
in love by following in the footsteps of Christ Your Son.
Call from among us more men and women who will joyfully
serve You and your holy people as priests and religious. By
their way of life, may they provide a convincing sign of
Your Kingdom for the Church and the whole world. We ask
this in Jesus' name. Amen.
For more information, please ask your Pastor, Fr. Andy
Blaszkowski, or directly contact Fr. David Ruschinski,
Director of Vocations for the Diocese of St. Augustine at
904-262-3200 ext. 101 or email: vocations@dosaft.com

RCIA - How Does One Become Catholic? God moves in
our hearts in a variety of ways, and brings many people to a
desire to learn more about the Catholic Church and its lived
faith and practices. This desire will lead many of you to enter into the process
known as Rite of Christian Initiation. This journey will take place with others
who share similar stirrings of the Spirit, and will be lead by Catholics who are
grounded and knowledgeable about their faith and who are called by God to
share this with you and walk with you on this journey of inquiry. Some of you
will respond to an even deeper desire to become full and active participants,
members of the Catholic Church and your journey will continue to include the
sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. For these people, the
sacraments of initiation usually take place at Easter or at a time that the
readiness of these people is determined. The church encourages an ongoing
conversion to Jesus Christ and the reign of God He proclaimed. The church
wants to share its life with new members and offer them support and
encouragement.
What is the First Step?
Saint Luke Parish - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults ~ Call the Parish
Office or Call the coordinator of RCIA, Pat Noll at 904-282-3790
Saint Luke Parish - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (for Children and
Youth) ~ Call the Parish Office or the coordinator
Georgeanne Donnelly @215-0672.
The Program for Children follows the structure of the Adult Program, with
content adapted for school age children and youth. We have two streams in
the children’s RCIA, one for elementary school aged children and one for high
school aged youth.
Adult Confirmation Preparation ~ A program is available for Baptized
Catholic Adults, 18 years or older, who have received the Sacraments of
Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist but HAVE NOT been Confirmed. Please
contact Pat Noll at 282-3790.
MASS FOR THE NATION
March 7, 2015 ~ 8:30am
“Someone recently asked me, why do I Pray for
The Nation. Truthfully, how can I not? Most
would agree that the sacrifices of our First
Responders; the Men and Women of Uniform
place themselves in harm’s way every time they
respond to a call. Also their Brothers and Sisters
of our Armed Forces, who are willing to put it all
on the line as well.
So many have given their all; the sacrifices they
have made (PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE)
are monumental. The very least I can do is to say a few Prayers for
them. Furthermore, there is no question that we as Christians,
Roman Catholics in particular; are under an all-out assault. The
fundamental principles in every aspect of our freedom are on the
line. The principles which are the foundations upon which we
stand, are all in jeopardy. Our positions on contraceptives,
marriage, natural order, abortion, and life itself; are all under attack
24/7/365. These things are who we are and they, each and every
one of them, are at risk of fading away. Pray, yes I Pray for the
Nation, and I do it as often as I can.
If you are interested in joining me and a number of our fellow
Parishioners. We pray for these concerns and many others and we
do this together at the Mass for the Nation. We are hoping that
you would consider joining us. In the mean time, You Pray for me,
I'll Pray for You and together we can Pray for the World. Hope to
see you at Mass.”
Frank Ricketts, a fellow parishioner.
