813-885-7861 Old chalkboards were removed
The old carpeting & floor tiles were removed New sheetrock was put up on some of the walls. All the classrooms were painted.
After the carpeting and old tile was removed, the floors were cleaned & prepped for laying down the new VCT tile.
The rooms are cleared out of all furniture and items. Most of these items are placed in the hallway as you can see on the picture on the right. Now you can see why all meetings are suspended during this period. Thanks for your patience! 2|
Renovations to our 1st - 4th grade classrooms along with our Spanish and Computer rooms are well underway! The work being done is made possible through a combination of private donations, fundraising by school families and assistance from the Parish.

Next Rachel’s Vineyard Retreats: August 2-4, 2013 (English), Oct. 4-6, 2013 (English), Dec. 6-8, 2013 (Spanish).

July 21, 2013 Incarnation Council of Catholic Women presented a check for $1,000.00 to The Children's Cancer Center in Tampa. The Children's Cancer Center is a local non-profit organization dedicated to serving families of children with cancer or chronic blood disorders such as Sickle Cell Anemia. "Helping children and families cope" is their mission. A scrapbooking event, planned and organized by Jennie Rosche, Candy Rosche, and Lily Lough was held in June, with proceeds directed to this worthy cause.
For Your Information/Action: National NFP Awareness Week - JULY 21 - JULY 27, 2013 2013 theme: "Pro-woman, Pro-man, Pro-child" "Celebrate and reverence God's vision of human sexuality. "Discover Natural Family Planning Natural Family Planning Awareness Week is a national educational campaign. The Natural Family Planning Program of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops develops a poster each year with basic supportive materials. It is the individual dioceses however, that offer a variety of educational formats in the local church to focus attention on Natural Family Planning methods and Church teachings which support their use in marriage. The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week 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. For further information, contact nfp@usccb.org.
July 21, 2013 Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time LISTEN The first reading tells of the "annunciation" of the birth of Isaac. It is profoundly mysterious, beginning with the appearance of the "three men." This reading illustrates God's active role in our history. The second reading treats a universal experience--suffering. Paul sees suffering as the mark of discipleship. He finds joy in the suffering he endures because it is for the sake of the church. Through his preaching he hopes all people will come to accept Christ. The Gospel paints a lovely picture of Jesus at rest among his friends. Luke has placed the incident right after the parable of the Good Samaritan. But lest "activism" be seen as the only path, we now hear Jesus' call to sit quietly and listen to the word of God. We have to be like both of the sisters. Even in our harried and noisy world, there is an insistent call to sit back quietly and listen to Jesus. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

If you are interested in learning, we will teach you how to make these beautiful tied-cord rosaries. They are easy and fun to make. Our first meeting will be held on August 26, 2013 at 7:00pm in St. Francis Room 2. For information contact: Silvia Rivera at 813-8857861 or Brunilda Reyes (Spanish) at 813-841-5366.
Decimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 21 de julio de 2013 Ese mismo Cristo es el que nosotros predicamos cuando corregimos a los hombres y los instruimos con todos los recursos de la sabiduría, a fin de que todos sean cristianos perfectos. — Colosenses 1:28b
Domingo 21 de Julio. Domingo 16 Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Nuestra cultura hispana se caracteriza porque proyecta la riqueza de sus valores en el encuentro, en el compartir, ya sea en familia o en la amistad. No hace muchos años, particularmente en nuestros pueblos, la gente era muy hospitalaria y confiada. Las puertas de las casas se mantenían abiertas, cosa que invitaba a los vecinos a entrar, lo que era considerado como un gran honor, el ser una familia acogedora. Pero desafortunadamente los tiempos han cambiado tal vez a causa de la inseguridad y de la desconfianza. Ahora se instalan alarmas en las casas, avanzados sistemas de seguridad o conjuntos de vivienda cerrados y, ahora, las puertas de las casas se encuentran siempre cerradas, cosa que dificulta la relación, la amistad y el compartir. Este cambio nos ha vuelto desconfiados, inseguros y encerrados en nosotros mismos, haciendo nuestro mundo restringido, pequeño y limitado. Abraham acogió, como a enviados de Dios, a unos transeúntes desconocidos, que pasaban cerca de su tienda, sin hacerles pregunta alguna. En vez de verlos como una carga o un estorbo, se sintió muy honrado de poderlos servir y atender. Efectivamente eran enviados de Dios, portadores de una gran noticia. Así le habló uno de ellos: Cuando vuelva a ti, dentro de un año, Sara, tu mujer, habrá tenido un hijo. También san Pablo nos explica los grandes bienes que le han sido dados como consecuencia de haber recibido a Jesús con fe y amor. Pero, si hay algún modelo perfecto de cómo podemos acoger a Jesús, lo encontramos en la escena de Marta y María, donde el hecho reviste unas características muy especiales. Marta se esmera en el servicio a Jesús, mientras María, sentada delante de Él, le hace compañía, le da conversación, le escucha y se muestra receptiva a su mensaje. Entre las dos hermanas ponen todos los elementos de una buena acogida a Jesús: Marta, el servicio amoroso y María, la apertura del corazón. Así debería ser nuestra actitud ante Jesús que amorosamente nos visita: acoger su presencia por la fe, la confianza y el amor. Después, recibir su mensaje, hacer caso de su palabra, asimilar los valores que Él nos propone. Es difícil para nosotros la actitud de silencio y quietud interior para esta acogida porque vivimos muy pendientes de las cosas: los intereses materiales, la diversión, los caprichos, las ilusiones, el estar pendientes de lo que sucede a los demás, etc. Buscamos las satisfacciones exteriores y somos incapaces de disfrutar de la paz interior; como que somos luz afuera y oscuridad y tinieblas en nuestro interior. Todo ello es lo que Jesús nos propone cambiar ofreciéndonos su ayuda para conseguirlo. Muchos de nosotros sabemos imitar perfectamente a Marta, ocupándonos continuamente de muchas cosas; pero no sabemos hacer como María: estar con Jesús, escuchar los latidos de su corazón, abrirnos a los valores interiores en los que encontraríamos la paz y la felicidad.
Saber escuchar “Escucha Israel” (Deut 6.4). ¿No es esta la primera actitud de fe en la presencia de Dios? La liturgia nos educa para saber escuchar: Cuando Dios nos habla a través de la Palabra Proclamada y actualizada. Cuando el sacerdote que preside dirige a Dios en nombre de todos su oración. Escuchar es hacer propio lo que se proclama. No es algo pasivo. Es una actitud positiva, activa. Escuchar es algo más que oír. Es atender, ir asimilando lo que se oye, reconstruir interiormente el contenido del mensaje. La comunidad cristiana es fundamentalmente una comunidad que escucha. Es la primera forma de fe y de oración, antes de decir palabras y entonar cantos. Es la actitud más cristiana: escucha el que es humilde, el que reconoce que no lo sabe todo, que es “pobre” en la presencia de Dios y de los demás. El que es autosuficiente y orgulloso no escucha.
Incarnation Rosary Makers Usted está cordialmente invitado a unirse a nuestra Hermandad del Rosario. Se trata de un Ministerio maravilloso, con un profundo impacto espiritual no sólo para aquellos a quienes es dado el Rosario sino también para los que los hacen y distribuyen. Los rosarios hechos con dedicación cariñosa serán donados a nuestra misión Espíritu Santo de La Vega, República Dominicana, a los hogares de ancianos, los enfermos, y para las necesidades de nuestra propia parroquia. Si están interesados, le podemos enseñar cómo hacer estos hermosos rosarios de cordón atado. Es fácil y divertido. Nuestro primer encuentro será el 26 de agosto de 2013 a las 7:00 pm en el salón St. Francis #2. Para información contactar: Silvia Rivera al 813-885-7861 o Brunilda Reyes (Español) 813841-5366.

Para una buena participación en la Eucaristía (2) La Eucaristía es ofrenda. En el ofertorio de la misa ofrecemos limosnas en favor de los necesitados y de la comunidad eclesial y nos ofrecemos nosotros mismos como ofrenda permanente al Señor y a su Iglesia. La Eucaristía es ofrenda de amor y de servicio. Es consagración a Dios y a los hermanos, a imagen y en memoria de Jesucristo. La Eucaristía es la cruz y la pascua. Es su memorial. Es su actualización. Es cenáculo. "Este es el sacramento de nuestra fe: Anunciamos tu muerte, proclamamos tu resurrección, ven, Señor Jesús". La Eucaristía es oración y compromiso de fraternidad. Lo expresamos en el Padre Nuestro de cada misa. Reconocemos que Dios es nuestro Padre y que nosotros somos hermanos. Pedimos el pan nuestro de cada día para nosotros y para toda la humanidad. Pedimos el perdón. Nos comprometemos así, desde la plegaria, a la fraternidad y a la caridad.
