St. Francis Christmas Flower Fund

In memory of Patsy Bartos by Larry Bartos

For the intention of Roy & Delores Yaros

Let us Pray Dear God, During this year of St. Joseph, like tools in the

hands of a carpenter Lord, build in us , who are your creation, the foundation we need , the stability of faith and trust in You. Without You as our focus, our guide, our

counselor, we can't accomplish things You created us to do. We need Your presence in our everyday lives.

Help us to be aware of the direction our lives are going and help us to discern the right path. Speak to us with Your word and teach us to speak and listen with kindness and

understanding with others we encounter. We wish to build a deeper relationship with You through time we spend in prayer and conversation with You Abba-Father. We want

You to be the cornerstone of our lives. We know we can come to You at anytime and You will be there for us. We know You hear us

and will do what is best for us. All praise and glory belongs to You. For all we have comes from You. We are blessed beyond measure for a God who loves us and

has prepared a place for us to be with Him for all eternity. Thank you Lord,

Amen

Hearing Loop System

Do you wear hearing aids? Are you aware there is a Hearing Loop System installed in our Church? Turn your hearing aid to

T (telecoil) and turn up the volume. If you need assistance, see an Usher.

Headsets are available at St. Francis upon request.

Our Sunday Visitor On Line Giving Option

We are happy to inform you that St. Francis Church has

switched our processing company for online giving.

As you remember, the Church switched our envelope

service to Our Sunday Visitor in June and they also offer

an online giving option. Our Sunday Visitor is a

longstanding reputable company, and their envelope

pricing was certainly competitive, but another reason

we contracted with them is that we can also

coordinate their work with a system of online giving

controlled by, You, the giver.

We want to provide you with the convenience of being

able to give the way you want, whenever you want.

Online giving offers you the opportunity to make secure,

automatic contributions from your checking account or

debit/credit card directly to St. Francis Church. Online

giving costs you nothing and provides many

advantages to you and your parish. There is a link on

the parish website www.stfrancisns.org that will walk you

through the process, but of course, we are happy to

help you with any questions.

We are grateful for your continued financial support

especially during this year of uncertainty and financial

challenges. We are relieved and humbled by your

steadfast support, even though many may not have

returned to Mass. Because of that, our utility bills have

been paid on time, we have not gotten behind in our

debt management, and many of the maintenance

issues that neededed to be addressed have not been postponed ~ THANK YOU!
