St. Francis Christmas Flower Fund
In memory of Patsy Bartos by Larry Bartos For the intention of Roy & Delores YarosLet 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

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!
