Blood Drive Today!
If you have a few minutes this morning, please give blood. The Bloodmobile will be in the parking lot this morning until noon. You’re giving the gift of life, but you’ll receive a t-shirt and a wellness screening with checks for blood pressure, cholesterol, and iron count..
Deanery Pulpit Swap next Sunday, April 26
We are mixing things up in the Tampa Deanery! On Sunday, April 26, the rectors of 8 local congregations will be switching pulpits! We are blessed to have the Rev. Ernestein Flemister from St. James House of Prayer coming to Holy Innocents’. Fr Doug will be going to St. Catherine’s in Temple Terrace. This will be an important opportunity for each congregation to meet another priest and learn about the ministry we share together in Tampa.

Breakfast fun and successful. We want to thank everyone who was involved in any way, including help with: organizing and communicating, setting up, decorating, serving, kitchen helpers, all who brought the wonderful sweet treats and of course those who helped to tear down and clean up! Everyone played an important role in helping to build Community at Holy Innocents with our Easter Breakfast. We have such a wonderful Holy Innocents family! Your Parish Life team
