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.

Pray, Invite, Accompany
The 2025 Annual Stewardship. Every year, our Annual Stewardship Campaign invites each of us to reflect on the blessing God has bestowed upon us and to prayerfully return a portion of those blessings to the Lord. Our 2025 Stewardship theme, Pray, Invite, Accompany, reflects our parish Vision Statement: Empowered by the Holy Spirit, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church aspires to be a vibrant and welcoming community of disciples committed to worship, grow, and serve. We invite all to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, accompany them on their journey, and send them forth to be His witnesses. |

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception:
This year the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is transferred to Monday, December 9 and, although previously the USCCB had indicated that it would not be a Holy Day of Obligation this year, that has changed, and it is a Holy Day of Obligation. Since we cannot have a vigil Mass on a Sunday, our Mass schedule that day will be 7:00 AM, 8:15 AM, 12:15 PM (HC), 5:30 PM, and 7:00 PM (Spanish). |

Special Mass Intentions:
November is the month when we especially remember “our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection.” We can assist them with our prayers—especially by offering Holy Mass during this month. Masses for your intentions will be celebrated by the priests belonging to the Religious Order of the Salesians in India. Please use the insert in the bulletin to offer your intentions. The form is also available online, in the narthex of both churches and at the parish office. Your stipend will greatly support the Mission of the Salesians in India. —Fr. Jose Thomas English intention form, click here. Spanish intention form, click here. |

Walk With One
Evangelization, or “bringing the Good News,” typically happens in one-on-one moments that are not planned or scripted. This can happen at the grocery store, the bus stop, or a sporting event. As Pope Francis has noted, “Anyone who has truly experienced God's saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love” (Evangelii Gaudium, no. 120).
