Our worship and our community are enhanced by your presence.
We miss you when you're not here.
If you are unable to come to Mass due to infirmity and would like to receive Holy Communion, the Sacrament of the Sick, or
the Sacrament of Reconciliation at your home, please contact Deacon Phil ([email protected]) at the Parish Office.
Prayer of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Pope's monthly intention for July: The Respect for Human Life
Human life is a sacred gift that merits being welcomed, protected, and cared for in all its stages. Nevertheless, indifference, exclusion, and violence threatening the dignity of the person, especially those who are particularly vulnerable, persist in many parts of the world. When respect for life diminishes, the throwaway culture grows, leaving many without the care, support, and recognition they need. In his prayer intention this month, Pope Leo invites us to pray so that the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being might be recognized and that our societies be open to protecting life through love, tenderness and responsibility. |

The Bishop's Annual Appeal:
“A Future Full of Hope” is underway. Bishop Hennen invites us to reflect on how we are part of something greater than our individual parishes—a diocesan family working together to proclaim the Gospel and build up the Body of Christ. The Diocese of Baker supports us in living and sharing our faith through the work and resources of the Pastoral Ministry Offices. Please prayerfully consider supporting this year’s appeal: www.dioceseofbaker.org/bishops-annual-appeal |

Announcements:
At St. Francis, we have three main methods of mass communication: the bulletin, the weekly email, and the website and social media. For maximum effectiveness, parishioners who wish to get the word out about an event or activity in the parish are strongly encouraged to use all three.
