ARCHBISHOP'S
CHARITIES AND DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN
If you have not yet made your sacrificial pledge to support the ABCD, you still have an opportunity to make your pledge. You are encouraged to respond to Archbishop Wenski's invitation sent by mail or to use the pledge envelope available in Church.
This year's ABCD theme, "One in Charity," reminds us that
being Christian is not a burden but a gift: God the Father has blessed us in Jesus Christ his Son, Savior of the world. The best gift any person can receive is knowing Jesus, and encountering Him is the best thing in our lives.
Each of us will encounter Christ anew in our lives, and in response choose to share the gifts we have received with our brothers and sisters in need. We appreciate your support to the 2012 ABCD.
|
Your generosity to the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Campaign, ABCD, supports the formation of seminarians, priests, and permanent deacons; the Discalced Carmelites Nuns’ prayer ministry; Respect Life; Family Life Ministry; Catholic Schools; Religious Education; Ecclesial Lay Ministry; and the Communications Programs of the Archdiocese of Miami, to include Radio Paz and the Florida Catholic. ABCD also supports Catholic Charities, Catholic Legal Services, Marian Center, Catholic Health Services, MorningStar Renewal Center, the Mission Office and the Migrant Ministry. To ensure that these programs remain vital resources in our community, everyone’s participation is needed. To this effect, the Archdiocese of Miami assigns a set amount of funds to be raised by every parish. Each parish’s goal for 2012 is based on the revenues the parish reported in Fiscal Year 2010.
Our Lady of the Holy Rosary—St. Richard Parish goal for
ABCD 2012 is $145,056.00.
The Archdiocesan Assessment is a form of tax that all parishes pay to the Archdiocese of Miami in a calendar year to help maintain the administrative expenses of the Archdiocese, such as the Human Resources Office, Finance Office, and other operational departments, which in turn provide support to the parishes. Holy Rosary-St. Richard’s assessment for 2012 is $89,831.00, payable in 12 monthly installments. Any ABCD funds not raised through our 2012 ABCD parish goal will be added to the Archdiocesan assessment installment due in December of 2012; therefore, increasing our parish’s operating expenses. Likewise, if our parish exceeds its ABCD goal, then all funds raised above the goal will be applied toward the 2013 parish assessment. We will regularly update this column with the funds raised to date through our ABCD parish goal.
We invite you to prayerfully consider your support to so many charities and programs and pledge your help to the 2012 ABCD Campaign.

Please download Archbishop Wenski's letter below. It concerns a serious threat to our religious freedom given the unprecedented mandate issued by Health and Human Services that would require Catholic institutions and employers to pay for “services” that violate our conscience. This is a serious threat to our hospitals, schools, charitable institutions and (since most diocese, like the Archdiocese of Miami, operate their own self-insurance programs) this mandate threatens our ability to provide an insurance product to our employees that does not violate our consciences and our Catholic teachings.

SCOUTING SUNDAY
February 5th at the 9:30 Mass
The Scouting units chartered by Holy Rosary - St. Richard Catholic Church invite the Community to join us at the 9:30am mass on Sunday, February 5th to celebrate Scout Sunday.
The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before February 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day), unless the 8th is a Sunday, as Scout Sunday, which is the primary date to recognize the contributions of young people and adults to Scouting. The Scout Sunday tradition was started to make people in church aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out parts of what is pledged each week.The Scout Law says that a "Scout is Reverent" and the Scouts of all ages promise to do their "Duty to God".
These values strengthen youth character in their family, community and faith. More than half a century ago, the Boy Scouts of America and the Catholic Church drew up a plan of cooperation, which is still working well. The Church recognized Scouting as a program that provides rich, educational experiences and essential character enrichment. At the same time, the Boy Scouts of America realized that its vision demanded strong spiritual support, and the Church is the provider of this support. In recent years, as the Catholic Church developed its apostolate to youth more fully, it became known as youth ministry. Scouting is a significant part of this ministry. ~~~~~~ The Scouts Venture Crew will be having a fundraising
Pancake Breakfast.
Sunday, February 5 after the
8:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Masses.
In the Parish Hall
Thanks for your support!

Dear Friend,
Those first few weeks after the death of your loved one (or other major loss) are confusing and hectic. You may encounter myths such as:
1. All grieve the same way.
2. In 2 months your grief is over.
3. Once resolved your grief never returns.
4. You will eventually return to normal.
5. Don’t feel sorry for yourself.
6. Don’t be angry at your loved
one.
7. Protect the children from death
& grief.
8. Relationships end at death.
9. Get over your loss and move on.
10. Grief is defined by predictable stages.
In the months ahead we will explore these myths and learn more about the grieving process together.
If the messages don’t seem to fit right now, lay them aside and reread them at a later time. Many people are praying for you. May you be strengthened by these prayers.
Peace & comfort,
The HRSR Faith Community, Staff. and Bereavement Ministers
