February 16 No School—Presidents’ Day February 18 Ash Wednesday

On Tuesday, February 3, 2015, our Student Council members had the opportunity to visit the Marian Center. The Marian Center is a fully accredited school for students ages 6 to 21 with disabilities. Our student leaders spent the morning there assisting the teachers in the classroom and interacting with their students. It was truly a rewarding experience for all. It is our hope that our student leaders will use this field trip experience to always reach out and assist those with disabilities, as we are all God’s children created in His image and likeness.

Blood Drive

Saturday,February21/sabado,21defebrero@2:30pm‐7:30pmSunday,February22/domingo,22defebrero@8:00am‐9:00pm

A blood donation is truly a “It is a gift of life”! Just to think that a healthy individual can give to others in their community who are sick or injured. In one hour’s time, a person can donate one unit of blood that can be separated into four individual components that could help save multiple lives.

I would like to donate the following amount per pint of blood donated:

$1.00 ________ $5.00______ Other________ Name___________________________________________ Phone Number____________________

We also invite YOU to make a donation according to the

number of pints of blood we donate as a Parish.

If interested, please fill out the form above and turn it into the rectory or drop it into the collection basket.

Thanks to the Knights and all of you for your help!

Notes & Thoughts

Vocation Cup

We thank the following families for hosting the Vocation Cup this past week:

The Reynolds Family The Perez Family

The Vocation Blessing Cup is a wonderful instrument of prayer and devotion for our parish families. The Cup reminds each host family that it is their responsibility to pray for and foster vocations to the priesthood and religious life. A family is asked to host the Vocation Cup for one week. It will travel from home to home as a sign of our total parish commitment to praying for vocations.

Respect Life

"It is not only a personal but a social concern which we must all foster: a concern to make unconditional respect for human life the foundation of a renewed society." Pope Saint John Paul II, The Gospel of Life.

Volunteers Needed!

The Miami Lakes Pregnancy Help Center is looking a few good people who would like to help women in crisis at their time of need. We offer women free pregnancy tests, parenting classes, counseling, material assistance (diapers, clothes, small baby items, etc). If you are interested in HELPING OTHERS, please call Mary Tate at 786-452-0266. Thank you.

You must be attending Mass regularly and be an active member of the parish.
