We are still basking in the immense grace of His Excellency’s visit to Tampa and the honor of him celebrating the First Communion Mass for over 30 boys and girls. His visit broke the record for attendance at Epiphany of Our Lord previously held by Cardinal Burke’s visit to Tampa in 2022.
We are incredibly grateful to have been blessed by His Excellency’s holiness and the graciousness with which he spent time with us.
We are also grateful for so many partners and friends who made the weekend possible including His Excellency, Bishop Gregory Parkes of the Diocese of St Petersburg, our Pastor Fr Edwin Palka, Fr Paul Mangiafico, the Diocese of St Petersburg, the priests of the Institute of Christ the King, Canon Matthew Talarico; and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter, Fr Jonathan Romanoski; The Saint Dunstan Schola, the Altar Boys of The Archconfraternity of Saint Stephen, the Epiphany Council of Catholic Women, the Knights of Columbus of Epiphany Catholic Church, the Troops of Saint George of Epiphany Catholic Church, and all of the volunteers and staff of Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Church.
