CHURCH YEAR & HOLY DAYS

Someone is sending emails and text messages that appear to be from Fr. Blum. Although it says it is from Father, the email address is the key. His name is spelled incorrectly, including extra letters on the end. Be wary of requests via text message. Do not respond to either.

BEWARE OF THE LATEST FRAUDULENT EFFORTS

In today’s world of scams, security breaches and other fraudulent activities, we wanted to bring two recent attempts to your attention:

Recently one of our parishes was scammed for over $1,200 in Money Pak cards. The scammers had parish information and claimed they had a dispatcher on the way out to turn off the office and church power that same day. The phone numbers they used were answered as Duke Energy and went through the usual prompts. There were three people involved: Amy Williams, Angel Martinez and Joseph Guzman (most likely not their real names). Upon calling Duke Energy, the church was informed that this scam had occurred at other churches and the information was given to their fraud department. The Clearwater Police were called, and the detective will be following up. These people sounded professional and seemed believable.

Also, Social Security scams are happening at an increasing rate. Scammers are pretending to be government employees. They will try to scare and trick you into giving them your personal information and money. They may threaten you or your family and may demand immediate payment to avoid arrest or other legal action.

Don’t be fooled. If you receive a suspicious call:

Hang up. Do NOT give them money or personal information.

Report the scam at OIG.SSA.GOV.

REVISED HOLY WEEK & EASTER SCHEDULE

Dear St. John’s family, due to the continued diocesan suspension of the celebrations of public gatherings for Mass and other services, the following is a revised schedule for Holy Week and Easter. It grieves me that we will not be able to worship together in person during this most sacred time of the whole church year, but let us offer up this time to pray for an end to this current pandemic. Be assured of my prayers for all of you and your loved ones. May you have a blessed and joyous Easter!
