Easter Flowers Thank You
Dear Friends of St. Francis of Assisi Parish,
We hope you all enjoyed a blessed Easter Season and were happy with the flowers that decorated our altars.
Many thanks to all who participated in making our church so attractive. Our great custodian Pastor is always ready to give a helping hand wherever needed. Heartfelt thanks go out also to Ellen Levanti Daly, Lorraine Furaro, Carolyn Kaplan, Diane Lake, Lorraine Longo, Aurea Maley, Diane Mueller, Carol O’Hea, Kathy Santomauro, and MaryAnn Viglucci. They all did so much in giving of their time and talent to help this all come together.
With thanks and blessings,
Clare Intemann
Why is Mary Pictured with a Blue Mantle?
In the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant was covered in blue fabric for traveling. When Mary agreed to be the Mother of Jesus, she became is living “resting place”, or in other cases, the new Ark of the Covenant.

“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.”
