Current Announcements

There is news of a hurricane potentially approaching southern Florida. We are not sure when and where this may hit and if it will affect Masses and parish activities. If necessary, we will post any updates about chapel closures and the cancellation of Masses and activities. Please check the website before coming and please do not drive in dangerous conditions. 

Habrá catequesis para adultos en español martes el 27 de septiembre a las 6pm. El tema será la liturgia de la Misa tradicional. Tuesday, September 27th at 6:00pm we will have Adult Catechesis in Spanish. The topic will be the sacred liturgy of the traditional Latin Mass.

It is time for us to order our collection envelopes for the upcoming year. If you signed up to receive envelopes and would no longer like to receive them, please email Michele at: [email protected]. If you would like to receive envelopes but did not receive them, please contact Michele. It does cost the parish quite a bit of money to get those envelopes, so we ask that if you are signed up but are not going to use them, please let us know so we don't buy more envelopes needlessly. 

Let it be known to all here present that Michael Scott Rogers, son of Roy and Cheryl of the Rogers family, and Margaret Helena Stutzman, daughter of Jay and Gina of the Stutzman family, intend to contract marriage between themselves. Therefore, we admonish all that if anyone is aware of any existing impediment that would prohibit marriage between them, that he is obligated to reveal it as soon as possible to the Pastor or the Bishop, and this serves as the second publication of these Banns.  

Once a month we have monthly meetings for Women, Men, and Young Adults. If you are interested in hosting a meeting, please contact Katy Allen at (724)288-1545. We would like to spread the meetings out so that one person or a few people don't end up hosting all the meetings. 

The next Young Adult Group meeting will be on Saturday, September 24th at 6:30pm. If you are interested, please sign up to receive more information about our meetings here.

The next Women's Group meeting will be on Tuesday, September 20th, at 6:30pm. If you are interested, please sign up to receive more information about our meetings here.

Yet another round of scammers pretending to be Fr. van Zee have been circulating. If you receive an email asking for gift cards or money, please know this is a scam. He would never do that. If you receive any kind of suspicious looking email, please email Father at [email protected] or, better yet, call him via the office phone (239) 360-9977.

Fr. Romanoski will be visiting and on Tuesday, September 13th at 6:30pm the Anselmi Family will host a potluck so everyone can have a chance to talk and catch up with him. For the location click here.

Wednesday, September 14th, the second-class feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross will be a sung Mass at 5:15pm at St. Agnes.

Saturday, September 17th, activities begin again at 9am at Royal Palm Academy. These activities include altar servers, Maidens of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, children's choir practice, and adult classes on the liturgy of the Traditional Latin Mass. 

The Corpus Christi Chapel altar servers will start meeting again beginning this month (September).
Anyone who is interested in serving is welcome to come to the first meeting at Royal Palm Academy on Saturday, September 17th at 9:00 a.m. 

Fr. Adams is changing many ways about how the server program will work.
In the meantime, please note that Fr. Adams will be doing monthly server trainings in both Fort Myers & St. Agnes.
The first Low Mass training sessions will be:
At St. Agnes on September 14 from 3 - 4 p.m.
At Resurrection in Ft. Myers on September 22 from 12 - 1:30 p.m.
If you are interested in attending, please email Fr. Adams at [email protected]

Given that we do not have a Church of our own and we are often packed in like sardines, we should be extra careful not to further disturb the Holy Sacrifice as it is already quite easy to do so given our cramped situation. 

Even though this is Florida, and it always feels like summer vacation, please be considerate and arrive on time to Mass, i.e., before the bell rings. To arrive after the unveiling of the chalice would not fulfill your Sunday obligation and you would then have to attend another Mass. 

It is a tremendous blessing to have an abundance of children which brings challenges with it, as all blessings do. We know children cry and even the very best act up from time to time, so when this is the case, parents, when it is possible, take them to the confessional room at St. Agnes (when not in use), the vestibule, or outside (weather permitting). 

All of us are called to be patient with crying babies and parents who have many children. So, when you hear a child that is not yours being a distraction, ignore it. Also, given our cramped quarters, we know there are not many options for parents.

Please consult the section of the bulletin about proper attire which goes for all Masses all the time, not just Sunday.

Lastly, it is the job of the priests to correct the parishioners. So, if you see someone arriving late, hear a baby crying, or a person dressed inappropriately, let one of the priests know and he can address it as he sees fit.
