MASSES FOR THE WEEK

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

It’s not too early!

If you have a child beginning

first grade in public school, it is

time to register for Religious

Education. Diocesan guidelines

require two years of instructions

prior to the reception of a Sacra-

ment. If your child is already in the first grade

and missed this year, call the Office of Religious

Education to set up an appointment to discuss

the options.

Are you interested in being Baptized or

complete your initiation by the recep-

tion of the Sacraments of Eucharist and/

or Confirmation for Easter 2016?

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The RCIA is a process in which adults

prepare themselves for the reception of

the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism,

Confirmation and Eucharist) through

study, discussion and discernment.

Please contact the Rectory.

St. Francis of Assisi Parish

Thank you for your sacrificial giving

each week. Your kind generosity

helps us pay our monthly bills.

for any reason, try to make up for it

the following week or when you

return. This is especially true on

holiday weekends and during the

summer months. Thank you again

for your understanding.

envelopes.

SUMMER WEEKLY COLLECTIONS

Summer is here, please do not forget your

weekly envelopes.

If you are planning to be away, please

consider submitting your summer envelopes

before you leave. It is essential because

those monies are important to help us pay

our summer bills and keep our budget bal-

anced. As you know our fiscal year ends Au-

gust 31, 2015, so it is important we have a

balanced budget.

Thank you very much for your continued

sacrifices in supporting our parish. We

could not pay our monthly bills without

your generosity. I appreciate your

cooperation in this matter.

Have a peaceful, prayerful, enjoyable and

safe summer!

PLEASE remember to keep the

church doors closed at all times when the air conditioning is on. Thank You.

ATTENTION SCHOOL PARENTS

In order to receive the Catholic rate for

tuition, every SFA family must be registered

and using Church envelopes. The suggested

donation each week is $9.00. If you are not

receiving Church envelopes, please stop by

the rectory to register. Those families who

are not registered with SFA or their own

parish will be charged the non-Catholic

tuition rate.

Families who are worshiping in parishes

other than SFA will receive the Catholic

rate for tuition if they use their own parish

weekly envelopes.

Dear Altar Servers,

I hope you have a relaxing and safe summer. Please remember your assignments.

If you attend a mass and there is no altar server, feel free to come up to serve. I know

that some masses have no server or one server; that’s because of vacation schedules. I

tried to honor everyone’s dates. Please remember God doesn’t stop loving you during

the summer, so say your prayers each day, and attend mass on the weekends. If you are

traveling – www.masstimes.org – will help you find the closest Catholic Church.

Thank you for your service at the altar.

God Bless, Msgr. Maresca
