Every Sunday at 2pm, rain or shine, there is a Rosary procession from St. Louis Church on Manning Road near Gervais, to Sacred Heart Church in Gervais. The intentions of this mini pilgrimage are for our archdiocese, and for any personal intentions. The walk is about two and a half miles, it takes approximately 45 minutes, and is doable for anyone in decent health. The use of sacred images and statues from home is encouraged, and there will be shuttles waiting at the Sacred Heart Church parking lot to take drivers back to their cars at St. Louis. This weekly procession has been going strong since the first week of Advent!

this law was just signed by gov. desantis this afternoon. it protects, among many others, religious institutions from civil covid liablity claims. even if the institution did not follow “govt recommended guidelines,” there would have to be GROSS NEGLIGENCE on the part of the institution; this is the highest standard of proof in civil matters. no diocese or parish would have been guilty of such negligence. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL TO WRITE A POLITE AND RESPECTFUL LETTER TO HIS BISHOP REQUESTING THAT HE LIFT ALL MANDATES AND RESTRICTIONS IN THE CHURCHES ALLOWING US TO WORSHIP FULLY AND FREELY AGAIN. Ask him to give us this gift for Easter. GET YOUR LETTERS OUT NOW! STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT! https://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Documents/loaddoc.aspx?FileName=_s0072er.DOCX&DocumentType=Bill&BillNumber=0072&Session=2021

Contact us at TriumphJax@protonmail.com We are a group of faithful laymen of the Diocese of St. Augustine from all parishes, both ordinary and extraordinary forms, who have decided to choose Faith over fear. Heartbroken and dismayed at the shutdown of our churches last year, and the subsequent denial of sacraments, we want to do all we can, by supporting our clergy and our bishop, to ensure this never happens again. To that end: We want to see the end of the mask mandates in our diocese and parishes We want an end to “drive thru” Holy Communion We request the restoration of the powerful sacramental of Holy Water to all churches We encourage our clergy to be heroically courageous in living out their priestly vocations in spite of secular pressure to conform our sacramental practice to unjust state mandates And we want to provide support, encouragement and resources to each other and to clergy to strive for holiness in these difficult times
