Current Announcements

On Saturday, September 2nd at 9am at our new Church location we will begin again with choir practice, the Maidens of Mary, altar servers, and our new man-skills class. These activities will be held every first and third Saturday of the month from September to May. These activities will no longer be held at Royal Palm Academy.

The first-class feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Tuesday, August 15th is a holy day of obligation. We will have Mass at 12:30pm at Resurrection in Ft. Meyers, 4pm at St. Agnes, and 5:15pm Sung Mass at St. Agnes. 

If you are looking for an alternative to smartphones, consider the Wise Phone. It has all the stuff you need without all the potentially sinful stuff you don't need. It includes a clock, calculator, maps, messages, phone, camera, flashlight, photos. This would be ideal for kids whose parents might think their children "need" a phone. 

If, for some reason, a person is deemed to need to have a "smartphone" a very good blocker is Quostodio. 

On Sunday, July 16th, Fr. van Zee will enroll people in the Brown Scapular after the 8:45am and 4:30pm Masses. If you have not yet been enrolled, please bring your own Scapular to be blessed on Sunday. This is only for those who have not already been enrolled. Once you have been enrolled, you are enrolled for life. Also, if you have been invested and your Scapular breaks, you do not need to have your new one blessed. Lastly, a Catholic can be enrolled in the Scapular at any time. For all the requirements to be invested in the Brown Scapular, please click here.

On Monday, July 17th, we will have our monthly Requiem Mass to pray for the souls in purgatory. 

On Saturday, July 22nd, Fr. van Zee will teach the adult Catechism class via Zoom. If you would like to join this class, please email [email protected]. If you have already obtained the link, you can continue to use the same one for each class session. 

Fr. Adams will be away for his annual Canonical retreat and well-earned vacation time until July 31st. Please pray for his safe travels, retreat, and a safe return! Fr. van Zee will be available during this time should you need the assistance of a priest.

In honor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel we will be enrolling people in the Brown Scapular on Sunday, July 16th after the 8:45am Mass and 4:30pm Mass at St. William's. This is only for those who have not already been enrolled. Once you have been enrolled, you are enrolled for life.

It has long been the tradition in the Catholic Church that Communion only be given outside of Mass to those who are sick and unable to attend Holy Mass. The priests will not give Holy Communion to people outside of Mass to those who arrived late or who were in line for Confession, etc. If you are trying to make the First Saturday devotion, please note that it is not a requirement to receive Holy Communion on the First Saturday. Communion received on Friday or Sunday before or after the First Saturday of the month suffices for this devotion.

Tuesday, July 4th, Mass will be at 6:45am at St. Agnes and not at 5:15pm

Friday, July 7th, Mass at 4pm and 5:15pm at St. Agnes with first Friday devotions
