A Note from Fr. Manny
Dear St. Francis Family,
Happy Fall Festival Celebration!
Once again, it’s a day to celebrate as one big
family the feast of our patron saint Francis of
Assisi which originally we do celebrate on the
4th of October but since we cannot come together because of our job and so many other concerns during the week day, we are celebrating it today the first weekend of October which is October 1-2, 2016 this year.
Come and enjoy the variety of food of our choice like
the hot dogs and turkey legs of K of C, the menudo, huaraches, gorditas, tacos y tostadas of the Renovación, Corn on
a Cup and nachos of the Guadalupanos, the Cotton Candy
and popcorn of the CHRP, the Funnel Cake of Reencuentro
Familiar and our Filipino BBQ, adobo, egg rolls and
menudo. After a heavy lunch, we have the frozen fruit
smoothies of De Colores, Veronica’s Gelatin and finally the
cake walk to win a cake from the Ladies Altar Society.
Your active participation will surely contribute for the
success of this event as we try our best to help build our
new parking lot through this fund raising event.
May our good Lord bless us with good weather and
provide us the resources we need. May He keep us always
in good health. We ask this through St. Francis. Amen.
To Him be the Glory,
Fr. Manny
Querida Familia de San Francis:
¡Feliz Celebración del Festival de Otoño!
Una vez más, es un día para celebrar como una gran
familia la fiesta de nuestro santo patrón San Francisco de
Asís que originalmente se celebra el 4 de octubre, pero ya
que no podemos reunirnos a causa de nuestro trabajo y
otros asuntos durante la semana, estamos celebrando el primer fin de semana de octubre, que es el 1 y 2 de octubre del
2016.
Vengan a disfrutar de la variedad de antojitos a su
elección como los perros calientes y las piernas de pavo de
los Caballeros de Colon, el menudo, huaraches, gorditas,
tacos y tostadas de Renovación, elotes desgranados y nachos de los Guadalupanos, algodón de azúcar y palomitas
de maíz de CHRP, Funnel Cake de Reencuentro familiar y
nuestro BBQ filipino, adobo, Egg Rolls y el menudo. Después de una comida pesada, tenemos las raspas de frutas De
Colores, las gelatinas de Verónicas y finalmente el puesto
de las Damas de la Sociedad del Altar donde se puede ganar
un pastel.
Su participación contribuirá sin duda a recaudar fundos
para construir el nuevo estacionamiento a través de este
evento.
Que nuestro buen Dios nos bendiga con buen clima y
nos proporcione los recursos que necesitamos. Que Él nos
mantenga siempre con buena salud. Se lo pedimos a través
de San Francisco. Amén.
Para Él la Gloria,
Padre Manny

SAFETY FIRST FOR OUR CHILDREN: Parents,
help ensure the safety of your children by coming into the
building to pick them up. Children are to be picked up
preferably by their parents or an adult designated by their
parents. If they will be pick up by an older sibling or other family member, please let your child’s teacher know
ahead of time. Also I have to remind you to pick up your
children on time after RE classes have ended. First Sunday session starts at 8:30 am and ends at 9:30 am, Second
Sunday Session starts at 11:00 am and ends at 12:00 pm.
Both Sunday Sessions end early enough, so you have the
opportunity to attend at 10 AM Mass or 12:15 PM Mass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SE
GURIDAD PRIMERO PARA NUESTROS NIÑOS:
Los padres deben ayudar para garantizar la seguridad de
sus hijos e ir por ellos dentro del edificio para recogerlos.
Preferentemente los padres de familia deben recoger a sus
hijos o un adulto designado por ellos. Si un hermanito
mayor de los niños va a levantar a su hermano menor o
algún otro miembro de la familia que no sean los padres,
favor de avisar al catequista con anticipación. También
tengo que recordarles que debe recoger a sus hijos a tiempo después de que las clases han terminado. Primera sesión del domingo comienza a las 8:30 am y termina a las
9:30 de la mañana, Segunda Sesión del domingo comienza a las 11:00 am y termina a las 12:00 horas. Ambas sesiones dominicales terminan a temprano, para que tengan
la oportunidad de asistir a la misa a las 10 am o 24:15
misa en familia.
