Those who stewardship of time, talent and financial deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin." resources to help support the parish and the Church of the Palm Beach Diocese. 3 From Monsignor Tom’s Desk It has been a hot, sunny and humid week here in Minnesota (the Land of 10,000 Lakes- and 10 million mosquitos!) where, as the newly re-cycled State Chaplain of the Florida Knights, I attended the 137th Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus. But the spirit generated by the gathering of so many like-minded Catholic men and the lovely, exquisitely-executed liturgies celebrated each day by nearly 100 Cardinals and bishops, along with an even greater number of priests, makes me feel like the trip was truly worth the time and effort. Supreme Knight, Carl Anderson, delivered a “State of the Order” address this Tuesday afternoon, and held the audience in rapt attention, despite its one and one-half hour-plus delivery time. It was supported with audio-visual accounts of the various works of charity performed by many of the nearly two million Knights from around the world. Some of the stories behind these works are absolutely amazing. Founded in 1882 by Venerable Father Michael McGivney in New Haven, the Knights organization has blossomed beyond our borders to include large segments in such diverse countries as Poland, Korea, France, Lithuania, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, the Philippines, France and Guatemala. Much has changed since Father McGivney established our Order, but the mission remains the same. Our Order still empowers good men to become great men! We continue to grow the Order as brothers, fathers, husbands, parishioners and citizens, guided by the principles of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. Where there’s a need, there’s a Knight lending a helping hand. There is no larger Catholic organization for men in the world than the Knights. In May, the British government released a terrifying report saying that the persecution of Christians around the world is at “near genocide levels.” We see this crisis unfolding in the Middle East, where Christianity is on the verge of annihilation. One of our guest speakers was the Patriarch of the Syriac Catholics in Iraq, who spoke of the atrocities committed against the Christians in his native land by ISIS. He said that the Christian population has been reduced to less than 200,000 from a rather healthy three million before war. With the help of the Knights (of which he has been a long-time member), he and his brother bishops are trying to help families to return and rebuild their homes and the heavily-damaged and destroyed churches. The Knights prove their commitment of service, charity, generosity and kindness when they put food on the tables of hungry families or coats on the backs of poor kids; when they provide the gift of mobility through partnership with the Global Wheelchair Mission; when they step up in the wake of natural disasters or show a major involvement with the Special Olympics since its inception fifty years ago. They are in the forefront of the Respect Life movement because of their commitment to promote he Culture of Life. In the past 10 years they’ve placed over 1,000 ultrasound machines in crisis pregnancy centers. They defend the dignity of every person from conception to natural death. To have an even greater impact in our families and parishes, the Knights have provided a new spiritual program model that provides local councils with an unprecedented number of activities spread across the areas of Faith, Family, Community and Life. It is called “ Faith In Action.” Its purpose is to strengthen Catholic family life - to build the domestic church. Let me give you an example of such faith in action. What made the week most special to me was not so much the wonderful speeches of the Supreme Knight, nor the eloquent homily of the host Archbishop, nor the masterful talk on soon-to-be Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman and Conscience, by Cardinal Collins of Toronto, but the excellent witness of the father of Kendrick Castillo, the young hero and want-to-be Knight, who gave his life to protect his classmates this past Spring at the Stems School in Colorado. Eight students were injured in the shooting, but no others died when he charged the assailant to save his classmates a week before graduation. The Knights voted unanimously to grant him posthumous membership in the Order and presented his parents with the “Caritas Dei” (“Love of God”) Award, only the fourth such honor bestowed on a person by the Knights. Kendrick and his Dad had spent more than 2,500 hours in community service with the Knights, so much did the young martyr admire their work. His father and mother showed what excellent example good parenting working in hand with faith in God can do for the family. I hope that more men of our parish will consider joining the Knights of Columbus in the coming months. Our own Knights will soon speak to the men of our parish at all Masses on an upcoming Sunday.

RCIA ENROLLMENT

RCIA, (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a process of initiation in four stages in which the Church brings a person who is not baptized into the faith and full membership of the Catholic Church. It also meets the need of a person who might have been baptized as a Catholic as a child, but then left later in life without any further involvement or catechesis. It can support them as they come to learn about Catholic life, receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist and come to share in the life of the Church. It is also used to provide formation and education for someone baptized in another Christian denomination who now wishes to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church.

Registration is online only and can be found on our website under “Faith Formation.” Classes begin early

The St. Vincent Ferrer Care Ministry would like to welcome all students, faculty, and staff to the 2019-2020 school year. We hope all of you had an enjoyable and relaxing summer and are now ready to begin an exciting, new school year. May God bless you and your families.

Being a SVFCM is a very rewarding experience. We help many people who suddenly run out of money to pay for their basic needs. Unfortunately, this happens for many different reasons and often a ‘snowball effect’ occurs. Their electricity and water may be shut off and they may not be able to pay their rent. They become very upset and don’t know where to turn. Most people are not aware of all of the resources available in Palm Beach County. There is assistance for people of all ages from babies to seniors. Our job is to listen to their needs and offer as much aid as we can. We also match the people with other churches and agencies that will enable them to get back on their feet and lead productive, healthy lives again. Our Ministry meets every Wednesday at 7 PM. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please leave a message for Mike or Jackie at 272-7580. We always welcome any parishioner who might be interested in joining our Ministry.

Thought of the week- “Allow God to lead you, so you can lead others.” John Wood

The mission of the Respect Life Ministry at St. Vincent Ferrer is to encourage a culture within our parish and community that cherishes every human life, from conception to natural death. Through prayer, service, and education we aim to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable.

Respect Life Considerations: We Pray to the Lord:

“We often assume parenthood happens easily after ‘I do,’ but for many married couples, it does not. … If you experience difficulty bringing a child into your family, know that you are not alone. God is with you, and his Church desires to walk with For married couples, especially those you.” who struggle with infertility: May they be strengthened by the USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, “Seven example of Abraham and Sarah and Considerations While Navigating Infertility” www.usccb.org/respectlife place their trust in God, who is always faithful.

For more information or to join the Respect Life Ministry, please contact Lily Potito or Nicole Volinsky at 561-316-7505 or at [email protected].

Rosary for Peace

In various apparitions, Mary has appeared holding a rosary and has asked that we continue to pray this prayer. She always leads us to her Son, and presents our needs before Him. Prayer is about developing our relationship with God and loving Him more. So, it makes sense to get to know Him through the events of the life of Christ that we meditate on during the rosary. Please join us every Monday at 7:00 pm in the Adoration Chapel to pray the Rosary for Peace.

DO YOU HAVE A USED CAR? Our parish is in need of a gently used late model vehicle to be used by visiting clergy and special guests of the parish. The vehicle would be used primarily for visits to the hospital, bringing Holy Communion to the homebound and general short trips in the area. If you have a vehicle of reasonably good quality and condition that you’re no longer in need of, or have the ability to bless us with a newer vehicle, please contact Dan Siller at the Parish Office 561- 276-6892, ext. 308. Your donation is tax deductible and will help to serve many others. Thank you in advance for your consideration and willingness to help. 14

They support the work of our church. 2. It keeps money in our community. For every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $68 goes back into the community and your tax base. For every $100 spent at a chain store, only $43 comes back. Online purchases bring nothing back to our local community.

3. Keeps our community unique.Where we shop, where we eat and have fun—all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of our community.

4. Creates more good jobs. Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community.

5. Get better service. Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take more time to get to know customers.
