A Farewell & Appreciation
Reception for Fr. Emery & Fr. Rich
The time has come to say farewell
to two of our servants, Fr. Emery Longanga
and Fr. Rich Rosin. As of July 1st, Fr. Emery will
be leaving us for his new assignment at Holy
Cross Parish. Fr. Rich is preparing for his new
assignment in New Rochelle, NY. Sunday, June 4th we will bid them farewell with
a reception in Msgr. Trainor Hall, following the
11:30 a.m. Mass. All are invited to send them off
with well wishes as they continue their service to
Our Lord.
Memorial Day Mass
Calvary Catholic Cemetery Memorial Day has always been special at Calvary
Catholic Cemetery. It is the only cemetery serving
the five-county Diocese of St. Petersburg where
the true fullness of freedom—both sacred and
secular—are observed on this national holiday. On Monday, May 29th at 10 a.m., Bishop Gregory
L. Parkes and other priests of the Diocese of
St. Petersburg, will gather at the outdoor altar
to celebrate the holy sacrifice of the Mass—a
memorial of the death and resurrection of Jesus
who freed mankind from the bonds of sin—and
to remember, honor and pray for those who have
maintained the freedoms that we enjoy as United
States citizens. Calvary Catholic Cemetery
5233 118th Avenue N., Clearwater
Prayer for Our Nation
God Our Father, giver of life,
We entrust the United States of America
to your loving care.
You are the rock on which this nation
was founded. You alone are the
true source of our cherished rights
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Reclaim this land for your glory
and dwell among your people.
Send your spirit to touch the hearts
of our nation’s leaders.
Open their minds to the great worth
of human life and the responsibilities
that accompany human freedom.
Remind your people that true happiness
is rooted in seeking and doing your will.
Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate,
patroness of our land, grant us the courage
to reject the “culture of death.”
Lead us into a new millennium of life.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Join us for our summer series on the Holy Spirit

Crosswalk Safety
Drivers! It’s the Law! When traffic signals are not present
or not in operation, the driver of a
vehicle must yield the right-of-way,
slowing or stopping if necessary, to pedestrians
crossing within a crosswalk upon the half of the
roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or
when the pedestrian is approaching so closely
from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in
danger. A driver may not overtake another driver stopped
at a marked or unmarked crosswalk. (A pedestri-
an may be crossing in the crosswalk hidden from
view by the stopped vehicle.) More information on traffic safety can be found at
www.dot.state.fl.us/Safety. Drivers! Protect pedestrians at crosswalks.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

St. Pete Beach Hurricane Season June 1 — November 30
The City of St. Pete Beach is extremely vulnerable
to the damaging effects of hurricanes. The land
elevation is only approximately 7.5 feet above sea
level, making the island highly susceptible to flood-
ing which could possibly block evacuation routes.
The City of St. Pete Beach must evacuate
completely when threatened by approaching
hurricanes.
As a citizen of the City of St. Pete Beach, you need
to know what to do in order to survive a hurricane
that threatens the Tampa Bay Region. You should
immediately decide where you plan to go when
ordered to evacuate.
The designated evacuation routes for the City of
St. Pete Beach are across the Pinellas Bayway
Bridge and across the Corey Causeway Bridge.
Blind Pass will not be used to avoid traffic conges-
tion and will be blocked when the evacuation
order is issued. If you have no other choice than
to evacuate to a shelter, the available county
shelters will be announced via local media at
the time of the evacuation order.
If you plan to evacuate to the home of a friend or
relative, be sure it is not in an evacuation zone.
A Hurricane Watch will be announced when a
storm threatens coastal and inland areas and
hurricane conditions are a real possibility.
You should:
1. Fill your car with gas, check battery, oil
and water.
2. Check flashlight and radio batteries—stay
tuned to radio or TV stations for reports.
3. Make arrangements for safety of pets (pets will
not be allowed in public shelters.)
4. Organize your family.
5. Refill prescription drugs or obtain special
medications.
A Hurricane Warning will be issued when
hurricane conditions (winds of 75 miles per hour,
high water and storm surge), are expected within a
specified area in 24 hours. You must be prepared
to evacuate anytime a hurricane warning is
issued—even if the weather does not appear
threatening at the time. You should:
1. Clear your yard of loose objects, bicycles, lawn
furniture, garbage cans, etc.
2. Secure your boat. Remember, most
drawbridges will be closed to boat traffic after
the evacuation order is issued.
3. Protect windows, take down awnings and
otherwise secure your home.
4. Put together materials needed to take to a
shelter or place of safety.
5. Prepare to evacuate.
Evacuation Routes: Citizens living South of 44th Avenue (including
44th Avenue) will evacuate the City by way of
the Bayway Bridge. Citizens living North of 44th Avenue will
evacuate the City by way of the Corey
Causeway Bridge. If you are unable to evacuate and cannot make
arrangements with a friend or relative to help you
evacuate the city when ordered, the Fire Depart-
ment will provide transportation to the county
shelter for those residents with special needs or no
other way to leave the beach. You can contact the Fire Department by calling
363.9206 or call St. Pete Beach City Hall at
367.2735, and they will relay your request to the
Fire Department.

A Prayer for the Faithful Departed
Christ Renews His Parish O Jesus, lover of souls, we recommend unto you the
souls of all your servants, who have departed with the
sign of faith and sleep, the sleep of peace. We beseech
you. Lord and Savor, that, as in your
mercy to them you became man, so
now you would admit them to your
presence above. Gracious Lord, we beseech you, remember not against
them the sins of their youth and their ignorance; but
be mindful of them in your heavenly glory. May the
heavens be opened to them. May the Archangel St.
Michael conduct them to you. May your holy angels
come forth to meet them, and carry them to the city of
the heavenly Jerusalem. May they rest in peace.
—John Henry Newman
Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute
Is God Calling You to Serve as a Lay Ecclesial
Minister in His Church? Go, therefore, and make disciples
of all nations....(Matthew 28:19)
are they last words of Christ prior
to his Ascension. They are words
that command us to spread the faith!
Christ didn’t say maybe, if you feel like it—no,
he says Go! While this may be a difficult call for
us, He also promises to be with us always—even
at times we may doubt our faith, or doubt our
capacity to share it. Ask yourself: How should I respond to this com-
mand from Jesus? Am I open to entering into on-
going faith formation and ministry leadership
training to help me better share my faith? Why or
why not? New classes begin on September 9, 2017. Anyone interested in attending the LPMI Year of
Discernment monthly sessions, can find more
details on the LPMI web site www.dosp.org/lpmi.
You many also contact the LPMI office at the
Pastoral Center at 727.344.1611, or send an email
to [email protected]. Ask yourself: Am I willing to step out of my
“comfort zone” and trust the Spirit to provide
the wisdom and strength I would need to pursue
theological studies?
Lighthouse Catholic Media
Who Am I to Judge? (CD) Discussing moral issues with family and friends
can be a challenge in a culture that strongly
promotes the idea that there is no
objective truth. Speaking from a
wealth of personal experience,
renowned author and theologian
Dr. Edward Sri provides 5 “keys”
to enable Christians to oppose with logic and love
what Pope Benedict XVI called the “Dictatorship
of Relativism.” He also clarifies the proper
understanding of what it means to judge, and
the importance of making good judgments. Various CD’s, booklets and/or books are available
in the main entrance of the church. We kindly ask
for a $2 donation for each booklet, $3 donation for
each CD and $5 for each book to continue this
ministry. Please make checks payable to St. John
Vianney. For more information, contact the parish
office at 360.1147, ext. 233.
Martha’s Helpers We meet every Monday,
11 a.m.–1 p.m. in the church. We are in need of several smiling
