ARCHBISHOP'S CHARITIES AND DEVELOPMENT DRIVE (ABCD)
Our Lady of the Holy Rosary—St. Richard Parish goal for ABCD 2012 is $145,056.00.
RAISED TO DATE: $42,514.00
We thank each and everyone one of our parishioners who have made this sacrificial pledge in support of so many charities, institutions and organizations in the Archdiocese of Miami.
Your generosity to the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Campaign, or ABCD, supports the formation of seminarians, priests, and permanent deacons; the Discalced Carmelites Nuns’ prayer ministry; Respect Life; Family Life Ministry; Catholic Schools; Religious Education; Ecclesial Lay Ministry; and the Communications Programs of the Archdiocese of Miami, to include Radio Paz and the Florida Catholic. ABCD also supports Catholic Charities, Catholic Legal Services, Marian Center, Catholic Health Services, MorningStar Renewal Center, the Mission Office and the Migrant Ministry. To ensure that these programs remain vital resources in our community, everyone’s participation is needed. To this effect, the Archdiocese of Miami assigns a set amount of funds to be raised by every parish. Each parish’s goal for 2012 is based on the revenues the parish reported in Fiscal Year 2010.
The Archdiocesan Assessment is a form of tax that all parishes pay to the Archdiocese of Miami in a calendar year to help maintain the administrative expenses of the Archdiocese, such as the Human Resources Office, Finance Office, and other operational departments, which in turn provide support to the parishes. Holy Rosary-St. Richard’s assessment for 2012 is $89,831.00, payable in 12 monthly installments. Any ABCD funds not raised through our 2012 ABCD parish goal will be added to the Archdiocesan assessment installment due in December of 2012; therefore, increasing our parish’s operating expenses. Likewise, if our parish exceeds its ABCD goal, then all funds raised above the goal will be applied toward the 2013 parish assessment. We will regularly update this column with the funds raised to date through our ABCD parish goal. We invite you to prayerfully consider your support to so many charities and programs and pledge your help to the 2012 ABCD Campaign.
If you have not yet made your sacrificial pledge to support the ABCD, you still have an opportunity to make your pledge. You are encouraged to respond to Archbishop Wenski's invitation sent by mail or to use the pledge envelope available in Church.
This year's ABCD theme, "One in Charity," reminds us that being Christian is not a burden but a gift: God the Father has blessed us in Jesus Christ his Son, Savior of the world. The best gift any person can receive is knowing Jesus, and encountering Him is the best thing in our lives.
Each of us will encounter Christ anew in our lives, and in response choose to share the gifts we have received with our brothers and sisters in need. We appreciate your support to the 2012 ABCD.

LAST YEAR'S BLESSED PALMS
We invite you to bring to Mass your blessed palms from last year, which will be burnt on Feb. 21 at the Shrove Tuesday Ceremony in the school to make ashes for Ash Wednesday.
Please leave the blessed palms in the baskets at the entrances of the Church.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM
The Archdiocese of Miami is committed to the well being of those who are served by the Church. The Safe Environment Program was instituted in all parishes and Archdiocesan institutions to educate about child sexual abuse and prevent sexual abuse in minors and vulnerable adults.
We need your help in ensuring that our parish is in compliance with this policy. All parish employees and volunteers - regardless of working directly with children or not - must be Virtus certified. Virtus is an awareness and preventative program that the Archdiocese of Miami uses to protect children from child sexual abuse. Virtus consists of a one-time 3-hour on-site training followed by monthly updates online.
Additionally, all employees and volunteers must be fingerprinted and pass a criminal background check and accept the Archdiocese of Miami Code of Conduct.
We have scheduled Virtus Training Sessions and fingerprinting in our parish, as indicated below. You must be preregistered in order to attend these sessions:

Holy Rosary - St. Richard
Carnival
March 9-10-11
|
Dear member of the Holy Rosary St. Richard family,
Many of you already know that the Holy Rosary St. Richard Carnival is an annual tradition event that draws a large attendance to our Church and School. It is an occasion that attracts thousands of visitors representing multiple communities of all ages that include current and former school parents, students, alumni, relatives, and friends. This unique event happens only once a year, and at no other time does our school have so many diverse individuals gathered in one place.
This year, for the first time ever, we would like to offer businesses and organizations the opportunity to promote themselves with a sponsorship. It is an opportunity not to be missed where you can position your brand name before our diverse school community. As one of the first Catholic schools in South Florida, our community has
members of all work sectors that include medical, business, law, banking, technology, industrial, service, and others. In addition, festival participants come from all positions and purchasing power levels, including executive and managerial.
A sponsorship will enable your business or organization to reach our broad spectrum of festival participants and will be added to our official Carnival Business Directory. Please take a moment to review the three sponsorship levels on the next page to determine which one is best for you, and return the completed Sponsorship Selection section by February 7th, 2012.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to promote and showcase your brand! Please contact Michelle Hatem, Carnival Sponsorship Coordinator, at michelle.hrsr.carnival@gmail.com with any questions or
concerns.
Cordially,
Victor Alvarez Rene Espinosa
Victor.hrsr.carnival@gmail.com rene.hrsr.carnival@gmail.com

Dear Friend,
Those first few weeks after the death of your loved one (or other major loss) are confusing and hectic. You may encounter myths such as:
1. All grieve the same way.
2. In 2 months your grief is over.
3. Once resolved your grief never returns.
4. You will eventually return to normal.
5. Don’t feel sorry for yourself.
6. Don’t be angry at your loved
one.
7. Protect the children from death
& grief.
8. Relationships end at death.
9. Get over your loss and move on.
10. Grief is defined by predictable stages.
In the months ahead we will explore these myths and learn more about the grieving process together.
If the messages don’t seem to fit right now, lay them aside and reread them at a later time. Many people are praying for you. May you be strengthened by these prayers.
Peace & comfort,
The HRSR Faith Community, Staff. and Bereavement Ministers
