Catechism Quote

God, who "dwells in unapproachable light", wants to communicate his own divine life to the men he freely created, in order to adopt them as his sons in his only-begotten Son. By revealing himself God wishes to make them capable of responding to him, and of knowing him and of loving him far beyond their own natural capacity. - CCC 52

Parish Life - Council of Catholic Women

The CCW wants you! That’s right - our new ‘year’ is starting now, and we don’t want you to miss any of the good things coming up.

The COUNCIL OF CATHOLIC WOMEN (CCW) is a group of active Catholic ladies who want to make a difference, helping others as well as fellow CCW members.

Santa’s Shopping is one of our most popular special events. Children can buy gifts for their families at very affordable prices. These items are new or gently used things donated by the CCW ladies and friends.

The Seder Meal held on Palm Sunday teaches us about the beliefs and heritage we share with our Jewish brothers and sisters.

Back to Basics distributes donated Christmas gifts of shoes, socks and underwear for underprivileged children.

Noreen McKeen Residence  - our fall visit brightens the spirits of members and residents alike, with an afternoon of food and song.

Bake Sales bring home-baked treats to parishioners tables and some income to our small coffers.

Take a Sister to Lunch offers a nice outing with some of our religious.

Spring Festival  - our booth selling various “treasures” is a good fund-raiser.

Fashion Show - a lovely and stylish afternoon out.

Burse Fund - helps support seminarians.

Water for Life - Donations are collected at each meeting. In conjunction with Catholic Relief Services, this enables small villages in Africa to provide clean, safe water for the people.

50/50 Monthly Raffle is held, too. Half the proceeds go to the winner, and half to the Diocesan Scholarship Fund, which goes toward a young woman’s tuition to a Catholic college.

Meeting programs are always informative and enlightening, dealing with subjects spiritual, secular, practical and beneficial. This year’s list is still being developed; watch the weekly bulletin for details. Leadership training is available through the Diocese and the CCW Central Deanery.

Our affiliate is part of the larger body:  “The National Council of Catholic Women acts through its affiliated organizations to support, empower and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, leadership and service.” To learn more about us, check out This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and www.nccw.org.

CCW is completely self-supporting. No funds are taken from the parish. We’re very pleased and very blessed that during the 2010-2011 season, through the efforts of our members, the following community ministries benefited from our fundraising efforts:  Water for Life (Catholic Relief Services), Needy Families at the Holidays, Dominican Associates, Vita Nova, Birthline Pregnancy Centers, Faith, Hope, Love Charities, and the PBDCCW Raffle Fashion Show, Scholarship Fund, and Take a Sister to Lunch. These Holy Name of Jesus ministries were recipients as well: Children’s Choir, Festival, Trinity Center Chairs project, Youth Ministry, Simon Ministry, School Scholarship, and Religious Education.

Holy Name’s CCW meets in Trinity Center on the second Tuesday of each month, at 7:00 p.m. For more information, call president Madeline Chin, 561-642-5262.

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.
