An Invitation From St Brendan’s
Pinellas Hope Ministry Through your generous personal commitments of time and finances, last season, our Parish was able to provide a “ministry record” number of luncheon and dinner meals to the residents of what was once called Pinellas’ “City of Hope,” a special place, offering needed hope to “good people on bad times.” The results are in. The “Hope” concept works. Your continued generosity is having a significant and lasting impact. So, we, you, those that care, have started again. On Wednesday, October 24th, the St. Brendan’s Pinellas Hope Ministry began our current season. Our team provided and served a wholesome dinner meal to 148 appreciative residents at the facility. The freshly-cooked, (in our parish kitchen), warm meal included a salad, a plate loaded with two hefty pieces of seasoned pork loin, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans laced with fried onion topping and apple sauce along with a dessert of ice-cream with chocolate syrup. All at a cost of $2.08 a plate. Please, please, consider joining us. The need is still there. This year, we are trying to do even more. If you have time, c’mon in. “Do” lunch with us, about 3 hrs. If you have an extra buck, send it in. Either or both will be greatly appreciated. Whatever you do to help our effort, trust that it will be personally rewarding, genuinely welcomed and properly shepherded. And if you are reading this, you too, are on that journey. Some of us are further along than others, but wherever you are along the way, merely ask yourself, “Is it I, Lord?” Blessings from the entire PH team.

Please select a tag from The Virginia Tree today! There are still many tags to choose from. This is our annual parish Christmas outreach project to our brothers and sisters in need in our area. The Virginia Tree, is located in the parking lot entrance foyer opposite Msgr. Mulligan Hall. Gift tags on the tree list the item requested for the person named. Please choose a tag or two from the tree, purchase item listed, wrap the gift and attach tag to the outside of the package so we can identify who the gift is for. If you select a tag that has “DO NOT WRAP GIFT”, place unwrappedgift in a bag or box and attach tag to the outside. Place all gifts under the tree, or bring them to the parish office. All gifts need to be brought to the church no later than Sunday, December 2nd. Immediately the following Monday morning, sorting and packing will begin so that agencies can pick up the gifts for their families on Wednesday. This is why it is so important that all gifts be at the church no later than Sunday, December 2nd. Cash donations can be dropped in the collection basket during Mass, or turned in at the parish office, in an envelope marked “Virginia Tree”. Anyone interested in being a project volunteer for this wonderful ministry please contact Sylvia at 407-965-7707. 
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
