Mission Statement of Assumption
Church – Florian
As disciples of the teachings of Jesus Christ we, as a
Christian Community, focus our time, talent, and treasure on sharing the Gospel
of our Lord in Word and Deed.
The Sacramental Life
Infant Baptism:
Catechetical Class is required; please contact Fr. Luis early during pregnancy
or adoption.
Anointing of the Sick:
Please call the Parish Office during serious illness or before surgery.
Shut-Ins:
If you know anyone who cannot come to Church, please let the office know, so
they can be put on a visiting schedule by a Eucharistic Minister.
Marriage:
All Catholics who have decided to enter marriage must see a priest six months
prior to the desired date of marriage. If a Catholic is contemplating marriage
to a non-Catholic, the Catholic must still contact a priest to fulfill the
requirements of the Catholic Church for the marriage to be validly recognized
by the Church. Please contact Father Luis before booking the date with the
secretary.

Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, April 13, 2025
“…I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you
will deny three times that you know me.“ (LUKE 22:34)
How many times have you heard someone make a disparaging comment about God or
our Catholic faith? How did you react? Do you remain quiet so not to cause a
disturbance? Or, because you don’t want people to think negatively about you?
Or, because you don’t think you know enough about the Catholic faith? Pray for
the courage to speak up and enter into a respectful conversation when the
opportunity to talk about our faith arises. Joyfully share your faith with
others.

Do Something Beautiful for God – The
Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
April 11 – Do we believe that God’s love is
infinitely more powerful, His mercy more tender than the evil of sin, than all
the hatred, conflicts, and tensions that are dividing the world? Do we believe
that God’s love is more powerful than the most powerful bombs and guns ever made
by human hands and minds?
April 12 – We must love until it hurts. It is
not enough to say, “I love.” We must put that love into a living action. And
how do we do that? By giving until it hurts.
April 13 – True love causes pain. Jesus, to
give us the proof of His love, died on the cross. A mother, in order to give
birth to her baby, has to suffer. If you really love one another, you will not
be able to avoid making sacrifices.
April 14 – A beggar one day came up to me and
said, “Mother Teresa, everybody gives you things for the poor. I also want to
give you something, but I only have ten pence. I want to five that to you.” I
said to myself, “If I take it, he might have to go to bed without eating. If I
don’t take it, I will hurt him.” So, I took it. And I’ve never seen so much joy
on anybody’s face who has given food or money as I saw on that man’s face that
day. He was happy that he could give something. This is the joy of loving.
April 15 – We all have a part to play in God’s
glorious plans. Even if you write a letter for a blind man, or just sit and
listen to someone, or you take the mail for him, and you visit somebody or
bring a flower to the house-small things, but these are great things in the
eyes of God.
April 16 – You are a messenger of God’s love, a
living lamp that offers its light to all, and the salt of the earth. Take Jesus
to the people and places that need Him most today.
April 17 – Try not to judge people. If you
judge others, then you are not loving them. You cannot judge and love at the
same time. Instead, try to help them by seeing their needs and acting to meet
them. It isn’t what anyone may or may not have done, but what you have done
that matters in God’s eyes.
