Current Announcements

Please note that there will be no meeting for the St. Zélie Mother's Group on April 6th.

The Florida Supreme Court heard oral arguments on February 7 and then convened privately to decide the fate of the Pro-Abortion Amendment, specifically whether or not the wording is misleading and should be blocked from inclusion on the November 2024 election ballot. By law they must release their opinion by April 1. 

Please pray that they make the right decision so that voters will not be misled into voting for this dangerous amendment. Florida does not need to have abortion enshrined in the constitution forever, preventing any laws that will protect women and their children. To learn more, go to TooExtremeforFL.com

Under the Patronage of St. Zelie Martin, The Corpus Christi Mom's group, aims to build a community of women. With the guidance of our priests and the example and encouragement of our fellow mothers, our community seeks to cultivate spiritual growth as well as practical competence in the demands of family life. 

Our mission is to answer the dual call of wife and mother with unwavering faith, true humility, and lasting joy for the sanctification of our families.

St. Zélie Mother’s Group is looking for a few volunteers to supervise the playground on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 9:30am-11am, while the mothers meet. We need 6 Saturdays covered through May; we will not need volunteers during the summer months. Volunteers will need to have their fingerprints taken and Safe Environment Training completed through the diocese to be eligible to supervise children. Please contact Brian at [email protected] if you’d like to volunteer.

Extreme Unction is the Sacrament which, through the anointing and prayer of the priest, gives health and strength to the soul, and sometimes to the body, when a Catholic is in danger of death from sickness.

Recipient must be a baptized Catholic and past the age of reason (7 years old).

Must be in immediate danger of death (they could die at any minute). In this case, it is an emergency.

OR is in proximate danger of death (they could die any time in the next few days or weeks). This would be considered urgent but not emergency. 

OR from old age (70 years and older). This would be considered a non-urgent case.

In these cases, you should ascertain when the person last received Extreme Unction.

It may be given as often as a person recovering from one attack of sickness is in danger of death by another. In a lingering illness, it may be repeated after some months.

Always err on the side of caution and call sooner rather than later so the recipient may receive the great consolation of consciously experiencing the Sacramental touch of our Lord in their last moments.

If a loved one is in danger of death, please call the priest ASAP: 239-360-9977. Mark the difference between emergency, urgent, and non-urgent.
