Knights of Columbus: Thank You St. Francis of Assisi
On behalf of our Knights of Columbus St. Joseph Council 4810, I would like to extend a huge thank you to St. Francis Parish for their help in making our August 4th blood drive a huge success again this year!
The turnout was so strong that we beat our goal by 40% and even beat last year’s turnout, which was unthinkable to most of us!
Our thanks go out to Father Peter, the rectory staff, the amazing bulletin staff and, most of all, the many parishioners who were donors again this year.
We are so grateful to all the lifesaving heroes who participated in so many ways!
Thank you all and Vivat Jesus!

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.
