Dear Parishioners,
As is evident, we’re making quick progress with our Monsignor Lara Youth Center. All indications are that it be completed by our dedication date of December 4th. On that day, Bishop Lynch will bless the building and kick-off Nativity’s celebration of 50+ years of service to God’s people in the Brandon/Valrico area.
What makes me most happy as your pastor is not seeing the building go up, but the process. More than 1,300 Nativity families made a pledge to finance this project (along with the La Victoria Nutrition Center and church renovation). To see so many people willing to make considerable sacrifices in these rough financial times, is a tribute to our trust, gratitude, and confidence in Almighty God. We are willing to bond together to make an investment in the future (our youth) of the Catholic Church. I have no doubts that the next 50+ years will be as blessed as the first half century. May Jesus Christ be praised!
I was delighted last Sunday morning to see a full rainbow fill the eastern sky. I have included a photo I took of our Youth Center at the rainbow’s end.
Your brother in Christ,
