Pinellas Hope Ministry
St. Brendan is starting another season of feeding the homeless for Pinellas Hope on Wednesday, October 24th. We prepare and cook in the Msgr. Mulligan Hall kitchen from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. and then we travel to Pinellas Hope to serve the meal. If you would like to lend a hand in this ministry to the homeless, please call Mike Maslowski at (318) 381– 5600.

Lend a Hand Ministry
There are many families in need in our community. Please take one of our “Lend a Hand” bags at the entrances to the Church and return the bag with your donations of non-perishable food items to Msgr. Mulligan Hall. Most needed items are rice, canned meats, canned/jar spaghetti sauce, pasta, peanut butter and soup. The food will be distributed through RCS Food Bank, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, Joy of the Gospel Ministries, and
Clearwater Homeless Emergency Project.
Thank you for your continued support

Excerpt from
Pope Francis Homily
August 26, 2018

..."But let us also humbly acknowledge that, if we are honest with ourselves, we too can find the teachings of Jesus hard. How difficult it is always to forgive those who hurt us; how challenging always to welcome the migrant and the stranger; how painful joyfully to bear disappointment, rejection, betrayal; how inconvenient to protect the rights of the most vulnerable, the unborn or the elderly, who seem to impinge upon our own sense of freedom. Yet it is precisely at those times that the Lord asks us: “What about you, do you want to go away too?” (Jn 6:67). With the strength of the Spirit to “encourage” us and with the Lord always at our side, we can answer: “We believe; we know that you are the Holy One of God” (v. 69). With the people of Israel, we can repeat: “We too will serve the Lord, for he is our God” (Jos24:18).
Through the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, each Christian is sent forth to be a missionary, “a missionary disciple” (cf. Evangelii Gaudium, 120). The Church as a whole is called to “go forth” to bring the words of eternal life to all the peripheries of our world. May our celebration today confirm each of you, parents and grandparents, children and young people, men and women, religious brothers and sisters, contemplatives and missionaries, deacons, priests and bishops, to share the joy of the Gospel! Share the Gospel of the family as joy for the world!"...
