NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING (NFP)
AWARENESS WEEK ~ JULY 22ND -28TH, 2012
"Faithfully Yours" is the theme of this year's NFP Awareness
Week, a national educational campaign of the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops to celebrate God's design for
married love and the gift of life and to raise awareness of NFP
methods. "NFP...," as the U.S. bishops have written, is
supportive of Catholic beliefs about married love because it
"...respects the God-given power to love a new human life into
being" (see, U.S. Bishops, Married Love and the Gift of Life,
2006).
The dates of NFP Awareness Week are July 22nd—28th,
2012 and highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical
Humanae Vitae (July 25), which articulates Catholic beliefs
about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible
parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim
and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother.

My Dear People of God,
NOW A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) called for a Fortnight for
Freedom, a 14-day period of prayer, education and action in support of religious freedom, from June
21-July 4. This nationwide initiative to focus on religious liberty is in response to the recent actions by
the administration and regulations proposed that have a significant affect on our Catholic institutions.
On June 29, 2012, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, Bishop Robert Lynch celebrated a
special Mass in recognition of the Fortnight for Freedom at St. Paul Catholic Church, Tampa. The
following is a printed copy of his homily. Please read this very timely message for their issues will
have a profound impact on the ministries of the Catholic Church in our beloved country.
Thank you all and God bless you.
» Page 1 of 2
Brothers and Sisters,
An oen overlooked call to prayer, which in older mes was called the Introit and since the Second Vacan
Council called the "Entrance Anphon," tonight introduces the liturgy and this homily with these words:
"These are the ones who, living in the flesh, planted the Church with their blood; they drank the chalice of the
Lord and became the friends of God. "
Peter and Paul, far from perfect men as we know so well, rose with courage to plant the seeds of faith in the
early Church and then sprinkled it with the blood of martyrdom. Peter, imprisoned in tonight's first reading,
by the same King Herod who out of sheer jealousy had ordered the slaying of countless Holy Innocents and
John the Bapst, finds himself in chains. From the depth of his faith in Jesus Christ, Peter would not allow his
voice to be silenced by an agent of the state.
Paul, me aer me thrown in jail, tortured and beaten, simply because those in power, civic or religious,
could not and would not brook a challenge to the established order, the introducon of a new way of life
focused on a Jew crucified as a too-oen purveyor of a message of love in a culture of doubt, suspicion. Or
put another way, an advocate of a new faith rooted in a new covenant between God and humankind. Paul's
comfort in his final days on earth, before his beheading (a manner of death experienced sixteen centuries
later in England and visited upon St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More who parted company with their king
over their Church's view of the indissolubility of marriage) was found in that in running the race, at least in
later life he had fought the good fight.
I chose this evening to call us to prayer at a moment when a dark cloud hangs over the future exercise of
freedom of religion in our beloved country. The climate and culture of this moment in human history creates
a welcoming environment for an aack on religion. Slowly but surely, this naon, founded as "one naon,
under God, indivisible with liberty and jusce for all," which we pledge alliance to, is becoming more and
more Godless. How sad! Without God there can be lile hope that is true and lasng hope. In his final days in
Rome, Paul was not surrounded by a clamoring crowd yelling, "tell us more, tell us more." Rather, he might
have looked upon his efforts as singularly unsuccessful. But, listen to his words of confidence before his
death: "I have kept the faith. From now on, the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just
judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance
. " hp://bishopshlog.dosp.org/ 6/30/2012

Now there is a man of hope.
Page 2 of 2
Likewise, the clumsy, impetuous and somemes even imprudent Peter never gives up hope in God and in
Jesus Christ. One can take on the prevailing opinion when one is personally comfortable that in so doing
we are following in the footsteps and riding the shoulders of those who have gone before like Peter, Paul,
John, Thomas, and the Bapst, all of whose feasts we have observed during this fortnight.
As a more modern example, the Carroll brothers of Maryland - one a signer of the Declaraon of
Independence and the other the first bishop on this soil. Fighng in the revoluon for the freedom we ll
this me have enjoyed, Bishop John Carroll oen found himself defending to his superiors the American
experiment of democracy and true freedom of religion. He and the other Catholics of the colonies found
the first amendment to the Constuon to offer solid, sustainable hope for the future. Countless other
bishops and laity over the succeeding years rose to defend the American ideals because of the hope which
they had in their new land and its leaders. Even a less than zealous man of faith like Jefferson of Virginia
argued strenuously for true free exercise of religious liberty because it was not just one of the basic pillars
of this new land, but its first privilege, its first right.
Tonight I seek your support in prayer to God who is both the source of our hope and inspiraon to see
what is at stake at this moment. Carroll, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and Lincoln would and could
never have envisioned the federal government defining what is a religious exercise and what is not. They
fought and many spilled their blood for the contrary. Le o stand, the language of regulaon of a single
department of the execuve branch of government would define Tampa Catholic High School, Jesuit High
School, the Academy of the Holy Names, Saint Joseph and Saint Anthony Hospital, Catholic Charies and
our homes for those with HIV-AIDS and Pinellas Hope (to name but a few) as not Catholic ministry because
more than ten percent of the staff and the recipients of the educaon, healing ministry, homeless shelter
are not Catholic. I repeat the line of Cardinal Timothy Dolan, "we do not assist people because they are
Catholic, but precisely because we are Catholic." They can't regulate our freedom to be who we are and
destroy our very Catholic DNA which derives from the two great commandments, love of our God and love
our neighbor. It is the Gospel which defines who we are, not a single agency of our government.
What we are praying for tonight and throughout these days in our parishes and homes is simply this: let us
define our mission, our purpose, our purview, free of outside influence while in harmony with the
foundaonal ideals of our great naon and we will connue to be those in our neighborhoods who teach
our children to be good cizens, who reach out to those who have either fallen through the safety net of
previously government responsibility or who have no access to the safety net, who heal those sick and
dying, who care for widows and orphans, who fight alongside others for freedom when called for, and
fight for peace always.
Brothers and sisters, failure to uphold our freedom of faith and liberty of pracce is not an opon even if
the general culture of our society sinks into a religion of secularism. Others may choose other paths, but
we pray that this great naon will allow us to connue to walk the road less travelled by if that should
become the case. Catholics love this country, have spilt their blood for this country, and have risen to
serve others in this county and tonight we pray for the connued ability to live free as Catholic Americans.
Finally, it may well be a long walk to reinforce religious freedom. But it was a long walk for Peter and Paul.
One could and did say "I have competed well; I have finished the race. " The other could and did say Now I
know for certain that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod ... " On this feast
day, let us all be women and men of the Church and become at this moment in history to be the ones
living in the flesh" seeking and working for the same freedom of religious liberty purchased some 237
years ago at the price of our ancestors' blood. We shall not go quietly into this dark night.

Register for Hurricane Evacuation Assistance
Residents of all ages with special needs, those without transportation and the elderly, require extra attention and preparation in
order to stay protected in weather emergencies. Though Pinellas County government has education programs in place to help these
citizens prepare and find safe shelter, the responsibility for storm preparation rests with individuals and their families or caregivers. That
planning needs to happen early. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE STORM IS RAGING. Emergency personnel may not be able to respond
when high winds make road travel hazardous. Plan for safe shelter now. Call the Pinellas County Emergency Management
Department at 727-464-3800 or visit http://www.pinellascounty.org/emergency/default.htm.
Also, the Official Hurricane Guide for Pinellas County — Surviving the Storm is available for your convenience in the back of the
Church.
GOD CHOSE US
Who chose first, God or you? That is the question explored in today's
three readings. The second reading, from Paul's Letter to the
Ephesians, reads almost like a hymn. It praises God for choosing us,
for calling us to serve, and for blessing us in our service. Paul makes it
clear how honored we are and how special is the call to live as
children of God. This is through no doing of our own.
The first reading and the Gospel use prose rather than poetry to
describe the same truth: God did the choosing, not us. When the
prophet Amos was berated for being a prophet, he retorted that the
whole thing wasn't his idea in the first place. Neither did the twelve
apostles in today's Gospel ask for their calling. Jesus sent them forth,
two by two, to do the work of his kingdom. Copyright J.S. Paluch.
EXCITING BIBLE STUDY

Faith Formation Program is in URGENT NEED of
a Catechist for 4th Grade and
NEED FOR USHERS.
There is currently a need for ushers for the Sunday 11:30 am
Mass, especially for the summer months.
If you have ever entertained the thought of becoming an usher,
now is the time to act.
The time required of an usher is that needed for a weekly
assigned Mass and as needed at special liturgical seasons such
as Easter and Christmas.
Ushers meet as a group twice a year, duration of meetings less
than one hour.
Next time you attend Mass speak with one of the ushers and find
out first hand what the duties of an usher are. Please give it a try.
Remember men and women are welcomed.
If you have an interest and want more information, call Ray
Cormier at 443-5997.
Assistant Catechists for Grades 2,3,4 & 5 for the upcoming year!
If you are a teacher and would like to volunteer Sunday mornings to help teach the Catholic faith to our young people, if you have
never taught before but love kids and are willing to volunteer, we will train & coach you, or if you just want to assist the catechist
with class activities—the Children of the Light of Christ Faith Formation Program NEED YOU!!! If you know someone who would be
a great Catechist or Assistant Catechist, invite them to volunteer or send me their name & number & I’ll invite them!

AROUND THE AREA
CATHEDRAL RENOVATIONS The Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, the
spiritual center for the over 400,000 parishioners who worship in the
Diocese of St. Petersburg, was built in 1963 and needs considerable
repairs, replacements, and renovations. After a thorough analysis, it
was determined that renovating the Cathedral would ultimately be
more cost-effective than making repairs or constructing an entirely new
building. The renovated Cathedral will serve as a temple to and for the
glory of God and serve as a diocesan model for the liturgical life of the
Church. Renovations begin in June 2012 and will take approximately
12 months to complete. While the Cathedral is under construction,
celebrations of Diocesan-wide events will be moved to St. Catherine
of Siena Parish in Clearwater unless otherwise announced. Updates
will be posted regularly on the diocesan website www.dosp.org.
THE SISTERS OF ST. CLARE invite you, your family and friends to join us
to celebrate the life and works of our foundress, St. Clare of Assisi. A
Mass of Thanksgiving on the Feast Day of St. Clare will be followed
by a reception and refreshments. Saturday, August 11, 2012 10:30
a.m. St. Lawrence Church, 5225 N. Himes Ave., Tampa, FL 33614.
Please call us at (727) 517 - 0197 if you need transportation to the
celebration. We look forward to seeing you.
