October
20, 2024 We are sad to report that our beloved'Church Cat" who has lived
on our property for about 10 years passed away this past week. It appears that
he passed away peacefully, with no signs of trauma.
Over the years, Fr. Mike said he learned to speak 'cat' and they regularly had conversations from time to time. Thank you to all the St. Faith's family that made sure he always had food and water over the years and chased off the peacocks when it was time to eat.
October 6, 2024: Since
this week marked the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of
animals and the environment,
St. Faith's held a Blessing of the Pets service at our regularly scheduled Sunday
services. We set up in the Parish House.
In spite of the heavy
rains, we had a fabulous event, with several families from Troop 248 joining
in on the blessing.
Fr. Mike individually gave each pet a blessing. We even had a couple of 'Woof
Woof' amen's during the sermon.

September
28, 2024: St Faith's Scout Troop 248 held their COURT OF HONOR inducting Oberon
Cotta as their latest to achieve Eagle Scout. It was Obi's Eagle Scout
service project that provided St. Faith's with our new wood fence enclosure
around the dumpster. Obi raised the necessary funds, purchased the materials
then organized and directed his troop in the construction. This enclosure brings
St. Faith's into compliance with new code requirments that must keep dumpster's
out of direct public view.
Junah Sutton served as master of ceremonies, Scoutmaster Brad Hadley presented the honors and those in attendance heard several letters of congratulations read including those from the mayor of Cutler Bay and other dignitaries.
Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Scouts BSA program by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Since its inception in 1911, only four percent of Scouts have earned this rank after a lengthy process.
Obi has been an active scout member of our troop 248 since 2019, achieving several special awards, 31 Merit Badges including 14 Eagle badges. . He has spent countless hours in support of his troop and the activities that have made so many great improvements in and around St. Faith's

Fr.
Mike attended the annual Blessing of Hands event at The Church of the Ascension
Sunday May 26.
The blessing of hands is an annual event of the Episcopal Church in South Florida Health Ministry. This blessing serves as a reminder of the way that nurses’ hands, in addition to their minds and hearts, serve as key instruments of compassion, care, and healing for their patients.
