2017 Annual Pastoral Appeal
Clergy Support & Education Weekend What is the Annual Pastoral Appeal?
A tool to help our parish raise the
money needed to pay our assessment
to the Diocese of St. Petersburg.
Every parish is assessed their “fair share” of the
income needed to subsidize the diocesan budget. Why do the parishes have to pay their share?
We are all parishioners of the Diocese of
St. Petersburg. The support you give to the
church is for both the local church, in our case
St. John Vianney, as well as the diocesan church.
The diocese does not have its own church
building with Masses and offertory. All of the
church buildings located within the diocesan
area belong to the diocese. How can you help?
Make a pledge or one-time donation.
Every dollar gets us closer to our goal. What is our goal?
Our goal, or more accurately, our assessment
is $302,494. This is a little higher than last year
and is based on our income as compared to the
income of all of the other parishes. That is why
they refer to it as our “fair share.” A parish half
the size of ours with half the income will
probably have to pay half what we pay. Last year
our assessment went down a little; this year it
went up. How does this fit into the big picture?
We are called to be Stewards, to serve the Lord
by sharing the blessings we have received from
Him. It is only through His blessings and gifts
that we have what we have; our talents, our
ability to earn a living, our possessions. We are
called to share of each of these—talents and
treasures, as well as our time. Tune in next week to find out how the funds
are used. Just what do they do with all this money?

them for success in further study, the workplace
and the community. The girls’ IB community project focuses on
The Seaside Seabird Sanctuary located in
Indian Shores. The Sanctuary is a nonprofit
organization that is dedicated
to rescuing and rehabilitating
sick, injured and orphaned
birds in our local beach
community. In order to help the sanctuary,

the church during the weekend of February 11–12. The following donations are being accepted
Liquid laundry detergent
Liquid hand soap
Trash bags

Walk in the Light
Christ Renews His Parish You are the light of the world.
A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do
they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;
it is set on a lamp stand, where it gives light to all in
the house. Just so, your light must shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your
heavenly Father.
—Matthew 5:14-16
During the Christmas season, our churches, our
communities and our homes are ablaze with light.
Where does the bright splendor of all that light go
after Christmas is over? Where does all the joy
that rings out in the songs we sing in our church,
our community and our home go after Christmas?
Where does the hope, faith, goodness and cheer
go in our greetings to strangers in our markets
and stores? The Women’s Team of Christ Renews His Parish
asks you to join with them in 2017 to take that
Christmas light, joy, hope, faith, goodness and
cheer and to let it ...shine before others, that
they may see your good deeds and glorify your
heavenly Father.
