Twenty Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
On Sunday September 30 we will celebrate our parish’s patronal feast day, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. At the 11:15 Mass we will have Bishop Felipe Estévez as the Celebrant followed by a reception in the Parish Life Center. October 4th is the actual feast day of St. Francis, but the Church permits the celebration to be transferred to a Sunday for parishes with St. Francis as their Patron Saint.
 
Please join us for Mass & Reception.
Thank you parents for your patience while we searched for new babysitters for our nursery. As of 9/23/2018 the nursery will be opened again on Sundays for your convenience. Please sign your child in when you arrive and identify who has permission to pick up your child. No child will be released to someone other than the designated person without permission. Thank you for following this safety guideline.
