I pray these lines find all doing well. It is so amazing to know that we are celebrating Palm Sunday, it really feels like we just received ashes. I was always told this by my parents, and they were so right (as always) “The older you get the faster time flies.” The popular phrase is – “Time flies when you’re having fun” so, logically – we are all having fun.
We hear today in our Gospel’s about the Lord’s supper as well as the passion and death of our Lord. I love these days because I always receive a great gift during this time of the year– a packed church. I am always so grateful for all those who come to celebrate these Holy days. I have heard on many occasions how we get a lot of first-timers attending these celebrations and they end up staying and practicing their faith weekly due to the welcoming nature of our parish family. So, I send a big Thank You and Shout Out for your welcoming spirit, remember, this year YOU may be that person that Jesus uses to convince others to be regular members of Incarnation.
I also invite you to please join us for the Holy Week celebrations on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and if you have never experienced one before, The Vigil Mass at 8:00 on Saturday Night. It is a lengthy but very different celebration from the Easter Sunday Masses.
I pray you have a great Holy Week and as my parents always told me –“May you have a Holy Thursday as well as a Good Friday.” God bless Your week!
Love, Fr. Mike

Thanks to the generous support from our parish, during 2022 we assisted, 174 households, totaling 435 people, in our community with rent (we temporarily have suspended help with rent), utilities, food and other expenses. As we continue to assist the needy in the new year, we ask for your continued support. The food pantry, which is a dry food pantry only, is open two days a month, on a Wednesday and Saturday, from 10am to noon. Here are the dates for the first half of the year: 2/22 and 2/25, 3/22 and 3/25, 4/19 and 4/22, 5/24 and 5/27, 6/21 and 6/24. Both assistances, the financial team and the pantry, are for those who reside in the 33614, 33615, 33634 and 33635 zip codes. We appreciate your continued support thru volunteering and/or food and monetary donations on the third weekend of the month. If you are interested in learning more about our organization, we welcome you to join us at our monthly meetings every third Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm in St. Patrick’s room. If you need assistance, please call at 813- 4212201 for an appointment. Again, thank you for your generous support and God bless you.

Judy Licari reled@icctampa.orgNo Class today. Palm Sunday, we thank our Lord for going to the cross in our place. Please talk as a family all that Jesus gave up for us. How much He loves us to give His life to help us, See you back in class April 16th.
COMMUNION: Reminder to those making their Communion this year, there is a mandatory Workshop on Saturday April 15th from 10:00am until 12:30pm in St. Michael’s Hall. An adult must accompany the student.
No hay clase hoy. Domingo de Ramos, damos gracias a nuestro Señor por ir a la cruz en nuestro lugar. Por favor, hablen como familia de todo lo que Jesús renunció por nosotros. Cuánto nos ama por dar su vida para ayudarnos, Nos vemos de vuelta en clase el 16 de abril.
COMUNIÓN: Recordatorio para aquellos que hacen su Comunión este año, hay un taller obligatorio el sábado 15 de abril de 10:00 a.m. a 12:30 p.m. en St. Michael's Hall. Un adulto debe acompañar al estudiante.
Have You Been Confirmed yet?
As Catholics … the three sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist are what are required to become fully initiated into the Church. If you are 18 or older and have never been Confirmed, this might be your blessed day.
Incarnation will be having Adult Confirmation classes beginning the week after Easter. They will be offered in English and Spanish in the evenings.
If you are interested, please call Deacon Matt at 813-884-3624 Monday-Thursday for more info and to set up a meeting with him.
¿Ya te han confirmado?
Como católicos... los tres sacramentos del Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Eucaristía son los que se requieren para iniciarse plenamente en la Iglesia. Si tiene 18 años o más y nunca ha sido confirmado, este podría ser su bendito día. Encarnacion tendrá clases de Confirmación para Adultos que comenzarán muy pronto. Se ofrecerán en inglés por las noches. Las clases también se ofrecerán en español en un futuro próximo.
On April 18, 2023, the Tuesday night Englishspeaking Bible Study group will begin an 8-week study of the Epistle to the Hebrews. This group meets on Zoom.com at 7-9PM. Entitled “Hebrews”, the letter was probably composed as a homily of encouragement to first century Jewish Christians, and now to us, when the demands of living a Christian life in the modern world, cause us to become lukewarm in our faith.
Hebrews: The New and Eternal Covenant, presented by Dr. Andrew Swafford and Jeff Cavins, is a bible study program that draws out the complex themes of the book of Hebrews so Catholics can see, appreciate, and take hold of the riches God has given them in the New Covenant.
Each participant will need to purchase a workbook from AscensionPress.com. The cost is $29.95 plus shipping and tax, all totaling $37.20. The workbook includes session overviews, home reading assignments, study questions, helpful responses, and talk notes for the video presentations. Online videos will be accessible for one year.
In addition to the workbook, participants will need a Catholic edition of the Bible, and a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which are referenced throughout the study.
Also, this study group meets online on Zoom.com. Therefore, online access, on a computer with audio and video capabilities, will be necessary for full participation in group meetings.
To enroll, call or text Donna Burch at 813-541-8506.
We will collect your CRS Rice Bowls at the end of Lent. There will be baskets in the back of the church. Thank you for participating in CRS Rice Bowl with your family. Sincerely, Deacon Jim Minary

Rezo que estas líneas los encuentren bien. Es tan increíble saber que estamos celebrando el Domingo de Ramos, realmente se siente como si acabáramos de recibir cenizas. Mis padres siempre me dijeron esto, y tenían tanta razón (como siempre) " Cuanto más viejo te haces, más rápido pasa el tiempo.” La frase popular es:" El tiempo vuela cuando te diviertes", así que, lógicamente, todos nos divertimos. Escuchamos hoy en nuestro Evangelio sobre la cena del Señor, así como la pasión y muerte de nuestro Señor. Me encantan estos días porque siempre recibo un gran regalo durante esta época del año: una iglesia llena. Siempre estoy muy agradecido por todos los que vienen a celebrar estos días Santos. He escuchado en muchas ocasiones cómo hacemos que muchos novatos asistan a estas celebraciones y terminan quedándose y practicando su fe todas las semanas debido a la naturaleza acogedora de nuestra familia parroquial. Por lo tanto, les envío un gran Agradecimiento y Grito por su espíritu acogedor, recuerden, este año pueden ser esas personas que Jesús usa para convencer a otros de que sean miembros regulares de la Encarnación. También los invito a que se unan a nosotros para las celebraciones de Semana Santa el Jueves Santo, el Viernes Santo y, si nunca antes han experimentado una, La Misa de Vigilia a las 8:00 el sábado por la noche. Es una celebración larga pero muy diferente de las Misas del domingo de Pascua. Rezo para que tengan una gran Semana Santa y como mis padres siempre me dijeron: "Que tengan un Jueves Santo y un-Viernes Santo.” ¡Dios bendiga su semana!
Con amor, Padre Mike
