On March 25th and April 1st, all parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Dallas will have their "lights on" for confession and quiet prayer so that Catholics can come to or return to this incredible source of God’s grace, mercy and healing. Fifth Sunday of Lent Dear St. Francis Family, The gospel this weekend reminds us of the inevitability of trials and sufferings in our lives. “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat, but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” (Jn. 12:24) Sometimes, we think that if we are closely connected to the Lord, everything goes fine and well in our favor. But life is not always as we want it to be. Like the disciples who could not believe that the messiah would suffer and die, that the powerful would experience the shameful death on the cross, up to the extent of abandoning Jesus when they saw Him dead hanging on the cross. As Christians, we bring the name of Christ in our faith and the cross serves as its symbol. Jesus said in the synoptic gospels: “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.” (Mt. 16:24), (Lk. 9:23), (Mk.8:34) Christ Himself showed His followers carrying the cross and ended up hanging on it. His words in the gospel today: “Lose yourself in Me and you will find yourself”, should inspire us to keep going with God despite the trials and challenges that come along our way. Like the disciples and the saints who follow Jesus to the end and crowned as victors of our faith not because they prayed so much but because they remained faithful to God till the end of their lives. May God and St. Francis help us on our way to Him. Fr. Manny S. Querida familia de San Francisco de Asís: El evangelio de este fin de semana nos recuerda lo inevitable de las pruebas y sufrimientos de nuestras vidas. “En verdad les digo: Si el grano de trigo no cae en tierra y muere, queda solo; pero si muere, da mucho fruto.” (Jn 12:24) A veces, pensamos que si estamos estrechamente conectados con Dios, todo está bien y a nuestro favor. Pero la vida no es siempre como queremos que sea. Como los discípulos que no podían creer que el Mesías iba a sufrir y morir, que el poderoso experimentaría la vergonzosa muerte de cruz, al punto de abandonar a Jesús cuando lo vieron colgado en la cruz. Como cristianos, debemos llevar el nombre de Cristo en nuestra fe y la cruz sirve como su símbolo. Jesús dijo en los evangelios sinópticos: “El que quiera seguirme, que renuncie a sí mismo, cargue con su cruz y me siga.” (Mt 16:24), (Lc 9:23), (Mc 8:34) Cristo mismo se mostró a sus seguidores cargando la cruz y terminó colgando de ella. Sus palabras en el evangelio de hoy: “Piérdete en Mí y encontraras a ti mismo”, debe inspirarnos para seguir adelante con Dios a pesar de las pruebas y de los desafíos que vienen a nuestro camino. Al igual que los discípulos y los santos que siguieron a Jesús hasta el final y fueron coronados vencedores de nuestra fe no porque oraban mucho, pero porque permanecieron fieles a Dios hasta el final de sus vidas. Que Dios y San Francisco de Asís nos ayuden en nuestro camino a Él. Padre Manny S. Religious Education Información General acerca de las clases de Educación Religiosa, (catecismo para niños y adolecentes): En San Francisco de Asís las clases de educación religiosa son para estudiantes de 1-8 grado. Los domingos en la mañana hay dos horarios para estudiantes de 1-6. La primera sesión es de 8:30 am a 9:40 am y la segunda de 11:00 am a 12:00pm . Los estudiantes de 7º y 8º grado asisten a clases los miércoles de 7 pm a 8:15 pm. Las clases inician después del Día del Trabajo, (miércoles 9/9/15 y domingo 9/13/15), y terminan a principios de Mayo del 2016. Las clases son en Inglés y la mayoría de los voluntarios son bilingües y pueden ayudar a los estudiantes que no dominan el Inglés. San Francisco cuenta solo con 6 salones para dar clase. Cada salón puede acomodar a 24 estudiantes. Cada clase requiere 2 adultos que cuenten con el programa de Ambiente Seguro. Todos los estudiantes DEBEN inscribirse para las clases de1º año de formación y también los que regresan a terminar sus 2º año de formación. Las familias deben ser miembros registrados de la parroquia por un mínimo de 6 meses para poder inscribir a sus hijos. Todos los que no estén registrados serán considerados, solamente si existiera lugar después del 1 de octubre del 2015. Las cuotas de inscripción son necesarias para cubrir los gastos de los libros y material de trabajo. $50.00 por un estudiante, $60.00 por dos estudiantes y $75.00 por tres estudiantes o más de la misma familia. Las cuotas deben ser liquidadas para el 30 de septiembre del 2015. Actualmente se esta llevando la inscripción de estudiantes de este año (2014-2015). Las inscripciones para nuevos estudiantes será hasta el 7 de Abril. Las inscripciones seguirán hasta que se llene el cupo de 24 estudiantes por grado. Las inscripciones pueden hacerse en la internet en nuestra pagina web: www.stfrancislancaster.org, por vía email: [email protected], por teléfono al (972) 227-0770, o en persona en la oficina de Educación Religiosa de martes o jueves de 9:00 am a 2:30 pm. Los estudiantes que ya están bautizados y necesitan Primera Comunión o Confirmación deben asistir por dos años consecutivos. Los estudiantes de 2º grado recibirán Comunión si es que completaron el 1º grado de formación. Los estudiantes de 8º grado recibirán la Confirmación si es que completaron 7º grado de formación religiosa. Las clases de educación religiosa tienen la intención de ayudar a las familias en la formación de sus hijos. Los padres y tutores son parte importante de esta formación. ¡Las clases no solo son para recibir los sacramentos, también pueden asistir a las familias para tener una formación católica firme! Una buena formación solamente sucede cuando las familias practican su Fe. ¡Ayúdenos a criar niños firmes en su fe Católica! Los padres y abuelos son de los mejores voluntarios con que contamos.
