HAPPINESS is to have EVERYTHING you NEED,
NOT the NEED to have EVERYTHING.

 The church we go to in Clermont, FL is St. Faustina. It’s in a plaza and they’re renting about ten-thousand square feet for services over the weekend. Thing is that this church is struggling hard to build a new building but funds are short. It’s time for the Diocese to come in and give these parishioners some assistance. What the Diocese does not realize is that the services this church is providing is standing room only. The big difference is that parishes like St. Vincent de Paul are fortunate to be pulling from the Villages. St. Faustina is a working man’s church. With all the money St. Vincent and St. Mark’s bringing you’d think they could share some of it with a struggling Parrish like St. Faustina This parish is not looking for a multi-million over built building meant to impress even the two percenters; They just want their own building so they don’t have to keep throwing away six or eight thousand dollars a month to a landlord for the luxury of the use of his rental unit. You would think the Diocese would feel the same way. Like everything else the rich always get preferential treatment and those that struggle are told to work harder and save more . It’s not my Parrish, we’re full-time motorhome people, but I do feel for these parishioners. We make St. Faustina our Parrish of choice for the four to six weeks each year as we camp in Clermont for Doctor appointments and to wait out some of the bad weather up north.

Only wish I had either the political clot or financial resources to give these folks a helping hand.
