Catechism Quote

Tradition is to be distinguished from the various theological, disciplinary, liturgical or devotional traditions, born in the local churches over time. These are the particular forms, adapted to different places and times, in which the great Tradition is expressed. In the light of Tradition, these traditions can be retained, modified or even abandoned under the guidance of the Church's Magisterium. - CCC 83

About Holy Name
Written by Tom Blackburn   
Thursday, January 1, 2004

Archbishop Joseph Hurley of the St Augustine Diocese (the only Florida Diocese at the time) created Holy Name Of Jesus Parish on March 24, 1954. The first pastor, Msgr. John B. McNulty said Mass in a small building that was th retreat house for St. Ann's Parish - capacity 40. Within a year the parish grew to some 60 families so when the military offered warehouses to the public, Holy Name rented two and the parish had its first "church" and first school in 1956. Total Stewardship, as we know it today really seems to have gotten its start 50 years ago. Parishioners made the warehouses habitable-at least when it didn't rain. Flooding and wildlife sometimes made attendance challenging  "the swamp." Fr. Paul Manning took over as pastor in 1955 and sometimes his sermons had to compete with loudspeakers from the dog track at the Palm Beach Kennel Club on Belvedere Rd.

The parish grew and the present church site was purchased and in 1960, a combination church and school was built the church was on the first floor and the school had 10 rooms on the second floor. The school opened with 455 pupils, 70 or them in one class. A school bus was purchased with green stamps. Fr. Timothy Carr was now pastor.

The old homestead on the property was refurbished into the present day convent. Fr. Frank McCann was our fourth pastor from 1964 to 1969. Again the seed of Total Stewardship was growing as Fatima Hall was built with $8000 and contributed labor and materials of the parishioners.

Fathers Raymond Scully and Jerome Martin saw short stints as pastors for a couple of years until Fr. Michael Keller took over in 1971. He was to remain pastor until his death in 1983. After twenty-five years, the parish was ready to fund its new church and rectory. Our present day edifice was dedicated in 1980 and the school got its first floor back.

In 1983 Fr. Seamus Murtagh became our 8th pastor and he continued Holy Name's growth. The pavilion and gardens were added and Trinity Center was dedicated in 1990. The parish bazaar turned into the Spring Festival and kept getting bigger and better. But Father Murtagh had a vision. He saw something in the congregation that many others did not see. He saw people willing to band together to help, comfort and love one another and to care for outsiders also. He foresaw STEWARDSHIP as a way of parish life and his vision came to fruition. He encouraged the formation of many ministries as avenues to encourage the new way of "doing church". He gave us confidence in ourselves as a parish family and encouraged us to become stewards of our benefits just as the parish founders did.

Fr. Murtagh moved on in 1998, but what he started grew. Our pastor, Fr. Gavin Badway, who was once parochial victor, returned in 2006. In the early years, he had to give much attention to the physical plant, which has to stand up to constant use. But he continued the Stewardship tradition. Time, talent and treasure are the ways parishioners accept responsibility for Holy Name and make themselves at home here.

We are fortunate to be past the 50-year milestone and hale and hearty. We are fortunate to have had hard working and dedicated parishioners who labored to make this parish one of the best in the diocese. Let us pray and hope that 50 years from now, the same will be said for our place in the history of this beloved parish ... HOLY NAME OF JESUS.

Dear Parishioners,

Recently, we have introduced a new and exciting way for you to support our parish offertory and second collections: Faith Direct.  With Faith Direct, you can make regular automatic contributions to Holy Name of Jesus using your credit/debit card or bank account, the same process that you may use to pay utility bills or make car payments. 

Making your donations automatically means relief from the hassle of locating your offertory envelopes as you run out the door on Sunday morning, and guarantees that the church will receive your gifts even if you are unable to attend Mass.  There is no fee to you, the parishioner, associated with use of the Faith Direct program.  Automatic contributions greatly benefit Holy Name of Jesus by providing a predictable cash flow as well as decreasing the time and money the church expends dealing with the envelope system.  Faith Direct will provide you with personalized offertory cards that you may place in the basket, and a year end tax statement.  

We find Faith Direct a “win-win” for both parishioners and our parish. Please enroll in this program by picking up an enrollment form from the church office, or by visiting www.faithdirect.net to enroll securely on line.  Our parish code is FL130.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.

God bless,
Fr. Gavin

About Holy Name
Written by Fr. Gavin Badway   
Welcome to Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church. We are a Stewardship Community, which means that we give back to God what He has first given to us, for true love is a mutual exchange between receiving and giving.

Our parishioners commit themselves to a life of stewardship, giving 10% of gross family income to the parish, donating time and talent for at least three hours per week, and coming together every weekend to celebrate the Eucharist.

Our community is committed to budgeting from the common offertory basket for the needs and obligations of the parish. As stewards, we make a promise to God to share with each other what He shares with us, for everything belongs to God. We strive to be as enthusiastic about the success of others as we are about our own achievements, for this embodies us as a people of faith, hope, and love.

Please join us in our common journey to grow in holiness as a Christian Family and to build up our parish, our diocese, the Church Universal, and the Kingdom of God.

About Holy Name


Parable of the TalentsWelcome to the Holy Name of Jesus Ministry Page. A great amount of information awaits your attention. The information tells of parish groups, meeting times, different ministries and contact persons. Yet, as comprehensive as this list is, it really only scratches the surface of our Stewardship Community. Behind each entry are families and individuals who are giving of their TIME, TALENTS and TREASURE in creative ways. We are blessed that God's Love is revealed in and through our faith community. Please take a moment to see what ministries are available for you to be a part of.

 

Matthew 25:14-30

Jesus told his disciples this parable:

"A man going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one-- to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five.  Likewise, the one who received two made another two.  But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master's money.

Burying the TalentsAfter a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five.  He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents.  See, I have made five more.’  His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant.  Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities.  Come, share your master's joy.’  Then the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, 'Master, you gave me two talents.  See, I have made two more.'  His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant.  Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.’ Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, 'Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground.  Here it is back.'  His master said to him in reply, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter?  Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return?  Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten.  For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.  And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'"


Each one of us is called to be a good steward of the TALENTS the Lord has gifted us.  You must prayerfully reflect on where the Lord is calling you to serve.  The Ministry List has Holy Name's ministries organized by their specific commission on the left and alphabetically below.  We know you will find a place at Holy Name of Jesus where the Lord needs the TALENTS he gave you to do His work.

The Holy Family


Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE

O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion. Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal praise in heaven.

O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.

And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she may offer them to Jesus Christ.  Amen.
