We pause to recall the tremendous sacrifices offered by so many that we may be what we are today. We can only express our gratitude for a debt we can never fully repay. Please join us as we celebrate our legacy as a nation. All are welcome especially the young who deserve to understand the contributions of men and women who made sacrifices for the nation. If you are a military veteran please attend in uniform if you are able. If you are a friend or family member of a veteran, please attend to honor his or her service. Following the ceremony light refreshments will be available along with the opportunity to share our thoughts with each other.

The Feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is on June 27th. However, for practical reasons, the celebration of the Feast will be anticipated today. Hospitality and entertainment will follow after the Mass at the Courtyard of the Parish. All are invited to come.

On Saturday, June 1, Bishop Oscar Cantu will come to our Parish St. Francis of Assisi to celebrate the Confirmation Rite and Mass at 2 PM, and 29 youth will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. These youth candidates have been preparing for almost 2 years, and we’re extremely proud of their hard work and commitment. 

Today everyone is connected by mobile devices and social media but are we using these power tools for our ministries? These sessions will provide how to bridge families and the whole parish together with social media. Catechists, teachers and parents and grandparents will take away ideas and plans to implement and teach the faith using these powerful tools. Bring your devices!!

Beginning at 6pm on June 22 through 8am on June 33, we will begin a new tradition of an all-night adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel. It would be a wonderful time of grace if you could spend at least one hour with our Lord on this great feast of the Body and Blood of Christ.
