Pastoral Bulletin section ~ Parish Pilgrimages
After a long absence due to the pandemic, the Pastoral Bulletin is once again including information on parish pilgrimages. 

If your parish is offering a pilgrimage within the coming months, we invite you to share this information with the Pastoral Bulletin at pastoralbulletin@dosp.org. This allows readers to view opportunities to participate in an upcoming pilgrimage. More details on the pilgrimages page on this link: https://www.dosp.org/pastoralbulletin/pilgrimages/.

Action Alert
The Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops have asked people of faith and goodwill to take action on House Bill 5. This Bill is intended to increase protection of women and unborn children by establishing a more specific and earlier point in gestation after which abortions would be prohibited. Please contact your member of the Florida House of Representatives to urge support for this historic bill at this link.

by the mercy of God, rest in peace!
