Church Item Memorial Fund
The Church Item Memorial Fund consists of donations given in honor of loved ones. These donations are used to purchase church items in memory of the person(s) honored. Donating to the Church Item Memorial Fund is an opportunity both to remember your loved ones and help the parish defer the cost of much needed items for worship and prayer. Examples of items purchased by the Fund include vestments, altar hangings, sacristy items, etc. The Fund may also be used for improvement and enhancement of our church facilities and church grounds. Gifts both large and small are most welcome and appreciated. In gratitude to those donating to the Memorial Fund, we will issue you an “In Memoriam” certificate, list the memorialized item in our bulletin on one weekend, and post your item and the name(s) of your loved one(s) on this page in thanksgiving for one year. Please note, in order to maintain the dignity and beauty of certain items, unless it can be marked in an inconspicuous place, the actual item will not be inscribed. For suggestions on what to memorialize, please see the “In Need Of” list below. To arrange a memorial, please contact Irene Martinez at the church office either by email, or call 813-885-7861.
In Need Of
Vestment Hangers
The priestly vestments called the chasuble and stole are what the priest must wear when celebrating Mass. Since these vestments are very special, we want to make sure they are protected and well cared for. These special vestment hangers are designed specifically for that purpose. We are in need of at least ten of these, and they are a wonderful memorial opportunity that will also supply the sacristy with a very practical item to help keep our vestments beautiful.

Concelebrant Chasubles
When more than one priest celebrates the same Mass, the main priest is called the “Celebrant,” and the other priests are called “Concelebrants.” To help illustrate unity, as well as to offer aesthetic symmetry among the celebrating priests, it is nice to have matching vestments. Currently we are in need of two concelebrant chasubles to match the one white celebrant chasuble we already have. White is the universal liturgical color and can be worn at most Masses. Due to your generosity, we would be able to begin using these vestments at the Easter Vigil on the evening of April 7, 2012. This is a wonderful memorial opportunity to honor your loved ones.

Concelebrant Stoles
When more than one priest celebrates the same Mass, the main priest is called the “Celebrant,” and the other priests are called “Concelebrants.” To help illustrate unity, as well as to offer aesthetic symmetry among the celebrating priests, it is nice to have matching vestments. However, when there are more concelebrating priests than there are concelebrant chasubles, the remaining concelebrants wear a stole without the chasuble. Currently we are in need of two concelebrant stoles similar to the ones pictured to the left to match the chasuble sets we already have. White is the universal liturgical color and can be worn at most Masses.

Adoring Angels
In an effort to beautify our Chapel of Reposition, we intend to place these two adoring angels on either side of the tabernacle when they are delivered. They will certainly add a bit of nobility and holiness to the decor. These angels stand 28 inches tall. (No longer available)
