Christmas Decorations The Most Wonderful Gift of All!
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
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.
The Windows of our Church – The Good Shepherd
“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.”
