Current Announcements
Missals Left Behind
Several Missals without names have been left behind after Mass by parishioners. If you have recently lost your Missal, they will be in the confessional room at St. Agnes. For all parishioners, please ensure that your name and possibly a phone number is written in your Missal in case you lose yours.
Mass Times for the Assumption
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.
Alternative to Smartphones and Blocks for Devices
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.
Weekly Highlights for July 16th to 22nd
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.

Communion Outside of Mass for the Sick Only
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.
