To all friends of St. Francis of Assisi Parish,
I hope you had a blessed Christmas Season, and enjoyed the beautiful Christmas decorations in our Church.
I would like to thank the many people who participated in making our church so attractive. Our wonderful custodian Pastor who gathered all the equipment needed plus all the climbing up and down for us.
Heartfelt thanks go out also to Pat Barozie, Nancy Christensen, Lorraine Fusaro, Debbie Hayde, Diane Lake, Ellen Levaste, Joan Lobasso, Lorraine Longo, Aurea Maley, Diane Mueller,
Kathy Santomauro, and MaryAnn Viglucci.
They all did so much in giving of their time and talent to help this all come together. Many thanks and wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2023! – Clare Intemann
Toward a Pro-Life Future in the Empire State
Humanity’s salvation history was forever changed when a poor, devout Jewish girl from Galilee affirmatively said yes to life and set in motion the birth, ministry, sacrificial death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Mary’s fiat (“Thy will be done.”) was a gift of love to humanity, given freely in spite of her inability to know all that would entail, but with more faith in the Lord than fear of the unknown.
Our First Communion
Our First Holy Communion students celebrated their first Eucharist on Saturday, May 7, with so many happy families and neighbors as witnesses.
