Divine Renovation Unlocked:  St. Petersburg

Priests and active parishioners across the Diocese of St. Petersburg want to see their parishes come alive. The problem is that changing the way we “do church” can be intimidating. We get it-prioritizing mission over maintenance can feel scary. This is why you’re invited to DR Unlocked: St. Petersburg on March 14, 2024 at St. Timothy Parish in Lutz, where you will:

• Learn about the 3 keys to unlocking your parish
• Be equipped for mission through practical workshops and resources
• Connect with a growing community of learning in the space of parish renewal

The day will include Mass, talks, lunch, networking, and workshop time for your team. Pastors, parish staff and key leaders are encouraged to attend. The goal of ‘Unlocked’ is for priests and parish leaders to be encouraged and renewed with missionary zeal for what is possible, as well as building a community of mission-minded leaders on the journey. There is a small fee of $10 per person to cover lunch. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Armando Chavarria at achavarria@dosp.org. 

You can register at this link.

Let us keep the souls and the families of the faithful departed in our prayers:

• Mr. Virgilio Diaz, Sr., father of Reverend J. Glenn Diaz, Pastor, St. Thomas the Apostle Parish, Homosassa 

• Mrs. Julie Alvarez, wife of Deacon John Alvarez, of Espiritu Santo Parish, Safety Harbor, and former Director of the Diaconate

May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed

by the mercy of God, rest in peace!
