About the Mission Preacher

Fr. Tim Daly is an educator and counselor who has served the Diocese of Orlando since his ordination in 1996. Over the past 25 years, he has served as Rector of the Basilica of St. Paul and as Catholic Chaplain at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

In celebration of St. Joseph’s Day, the Fr. Horace B. McKenna Council of the Knights of Columbus is sponsoring its 6^th annual St. Joseph Altar. St. Joseph is the patron saint of immigrants, workers, unborn children, refugees, fathers, and craftspeople, among others. According to tradition, the practice of creating large food altars, or St. Joseph’s Tables, dates to the Middle Ages, when there was a severe drought and famine in Sicily. The peasants prayed to St. Joseph, and when the rains arrived, they organized a celebration in his honor.

As we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph let’s help feed our neighbors in need by bringing non-perishable food items to donate to the 2026 Lenten Food Drive. 
Simply fill a bag with food from the category paired with the first letter of your last name and bring it to the Lenten Food Drive event, March 14 – 19 before or after Masses. See Flyer for details.

ATTENTION all Altar Servers!!

Please take a brochure after Mass this weekend, or visit appeal.adw.org, to learn more about how the Appeal benefits our parish and serves people in need throughout our communities in the area. It is our goal that every parish family will participate this year, no matter the amount. All gifts will be credited towards our parish goal.

The Stephen Ministry have an exciting opportunity for personal and spiritual growth coming up soon that is open to all parishioners. 

Starting on Thursday, February 19, they will be launching a group study of an award-winning book from Stephen Ministries, The Gift of Empathy by Joel Bretscher and Kenneth Haugk. The book takes a fresh approach to a familiar yet underused skill, exploring what empathy is and isn’t, how to apply it to many different kinds of relationships, and practical ideas and real-life examples to help anyone make it part of their everyday living and relating.

No matter where we may be in life, all of us have room to grow in empathy, and all of us can benefit tremendously from improving the way we relate. Taking part in this study will be an excellent way to add to our caring skills and enjoy more Christ-like connections with everyone in our lives, both within the church walls and beyond.

The book discussion will run for 4 weeks on Thursday evenings, February 19, February 26, March 5 and March 12 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in the John Paul II meeting room.  Each session will have assigned reading to prepare in advance.  To order the book and reserve a space in the study group, contact Anne-Marie Kim  at 301-924-3838×204 or stephenministry@mothersetonparish.org.

Please reserve your space by February 2 so we can be sure all book orders are available in a timely fashion.   We encourage you to think and pray about taking part and helping bring more empathy to our corner of the world. We’re excited to see how God will touch lives and strengthen relationships through this group!
