Current Announcements

The rising cost of food is impacting everyone, including the hungry in Collier and Lee counties. The Maidens of Mary will be hosting a food drive after all Corpus Christi Masses on Sunday, September 18th. Please bring nonperishable food items to help those in need in our local community. 

Yes, we’re the ones you see processing in white before various Masses! Well grounded in tradition, the Maidens of Mary is a sodality which was popular in the 1950s. All young ladies in the parish aged 7 (or after receiving First Communion) through 21 are warmly encouraged to join us this year. The Maidens aspire to give glory to God through the model of authentic Marian femininity in solidarity with one another, and by such works as worship, service to our parish and extended community, and prayer. The Maidens gather two Saturdays each month, at which they receive catechetical instruction from our pastor, work on projects, and have free time to play, share, and build friendships. Some examples of our current and past works include: spiritual bouquets, visits to nursing homes, making scapulars and rosaries, organizing the annual parish ice skating trip, praying for the FSSP seminarians, and pilgrimages. We hope you will join us in this unique opportunity to know, love, and serve our Lord. Please contact Maureen ([email protected]) to express your interest and for further information. 

A young woman who has just accepted a teaching position at Royal Palm Academy and is new to the area is in search of housing beginning end of August or shortly thereafter. If anyone is in need of a female roommate or has a room to rent in the Naples/Fort Myers area, please contact Tess Prater at [email protected] or (text) 770-685-9914."  

Out of respect for Our Lord Jesus Christ Who lives in the tabernacle day and night, and to assist your fellow worshippers in “fighting the good fight” for the difficult virtue of Holy Purity, we ask that you enter the Church dressed modestly and in a manner fitting for the House of God.

• Shoulders and upper arms should be covered (men and women)
• Necklines should be modest (The last guidelines published by the Vatican stated that necklines should not be cut lower than a 2-finger width below the pit of the throat)
• Skirts should fall below the knee when seated
• Clothes should not be “tight-fitting” or transparent
• Shorts or tank tops are never appropriate in Church
