Mission Statement
The mission of the Servants of the Redeemer is to develop and foster the spirituality of Catholic men by gathering together as brothers in Christ.
- To deepen our faith and spirituality while lending support to one another on our faith journey.
- To strive to become truly Catholic men who bring Gospel values to all aspects of our lives.
- To enrich our vocations and strengthen our love of God, our families, and one another.
- The Servants meet the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month beginning with the 8:30 Mass and then move over to the Parish Center. For further information, please contact Tony Prisland @ 813-988-3569.

Realizing that we all face the same challenges as Catholic men we gather two mornings per month to pray, read scripture, and discuss how best to live our faith. As our mission statement affirms, we strive to “bring gospel values to all aspects of our lives, thus enriching our vocations and strengthening our love of God, our families, and one another.”
The Servants of the Redeemer would like to extend an invitation to any man who desires to develop their Catholic faith to join us at our meetings. There is no sign-up. Feel free to drop in on the second or fourth Saturday of the month. Meetings are held in the Parish Center and start after the 8:30 am Mass.

Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy CommunionStay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and alway be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.
St. Padre Pio
