Bishop Dewane reflects on the Florida Catholic’s place in your faith, your life, your communityOCTOBER 23, 2009 | In celebration of the Florida Catholic’s 70th year of covering your faith, your life and your community and in anticipation of the newspaper’s annual Florida Catholic Sunday campaign weekend Oct. 31–Nov. 1, Bishop Frank J. Dewane answers a few questions about why you should subscribe to your diocesan newspaper. • • • Letter from the Bishop on the Sacredness of LifeSEPTEMBER 25, 2009 | The Catholic Church has been at the forefront in speaking out on the issue of the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death. It is our responsibility to answer the call to do all we can in support of life. The Diocese of Venice in Florida will once again conduct a Respect Life Collection, in conjunction with National Respect Life Sunday, on the weekend of Oct. 3-4. This special collection will support various local organizations and programs that promote life. The funds collected will remain within the 10 counties of the Diocese of Venice, and will facilitate our witness as a faith community to the value of all human life. • • • Bishop Dewane reflects on ‘Year for Priests’JUNE 30, 2009 |Pope Benedict XVI has inaugurated a “Year for Priests” which officially began on June 19, 2009, and is to conclude on June 19, 2010. Our Holy Father has stated that “the aim of this Year for Priests is to support each priest’s struggle towards spiritual perfection, upon which the effectiveness of their ministry depends.” • • • Happy Easter from Bishop DewaneAPRIL 10, 2009 | Christ is Risen! This opportunity is taken to wish each of you a very “Blessed Easter,” as together we recognize the joy of knowing that Christ has trampled death and given us new life in Him. • • • Lenten message from Bishop DewaneFEBRUARY 27, 2009 | This year, once again, we prepare ourselves for the Liturgical Season of Lent, a special time of prayer, penance, and conversion. Lent is a season of interior spiritual reflection and growth, in which we are reminded of the importance of recourse to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, as we recall our sins and shortcomings. For this reason, it is an opportune time to seek the Sacraments and, for instance, to perhaps attend Mass on a more frequent or even a daily basis.
