"For since death came through a human
being, the resurrection of the dead came
also through a human being. For just as in
Adam, all die, so too in Christ shall all be
brought to life.” 1 Cor. 15:21-22
In memory of parishioners who have been given the gift of
eternal life in the month of February 2020 with services through
St. Francis:
Rita Serban Cecilia Chinn Etiennette Smith Fred Tinoco Raul

Thank you to the St. Francis Rosary Making and
music ministries for their heartfelt service to the
families throughout the year and to the many
volunteers who give of their time selflessly. The St. Francis
Funeral Ministry comprises a group of
volunteer parishioners who carry out a variety of tasks during
funerals. If interested in being a part of this team,
please contact Roylene See through the Parish Office.
Why we Do what we Do From the desk of Heidi Scott
As I write this we are in the midst of Lent and preparations and
rehearsals are well underway. Lent is 40 days and culminates with
the three days of the Triduum. These sacred days remain a time for
solemn reflection. Sundown on Holy Thursday to sundown on Easter
Sunday is considered the most solemn part of the liturgical year.
This
three-day period is referred to as the Easter Triduum.. The
evening Mass on Holy Thursday is referred to as The Mass of
the Lord's Supper. This is where the Church relives the
institution of the Eucharist and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at
the Last Supper,
as well as the institution of the priesthood, which took place
the even-ing before Jesus was crucified. Holy Thursday Mass will
begin
at 6:00 pm and will include washing of the feet. Good Friday, is
a solemn day of fasting and abstinence. The liturgy
on this day is not a Mass, rather it is a communion service
which uses consecrated hosts from Holy Thursday. Our Good
Friday
liturgies are at 12 noon and 6:00pm with Stations of the Cross
at the Holy hour of 3:00pm.
The Easter Vigil Mass is held at 8:00pm on Holy Saturday, in
celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. This liturgy is perhaps
the
most glorious, beautiful, and holy liturgy for the Church. The
vigil is divided into four parts; 1) the service of light, 2) the
liturgy of the Word, 3) the liturgy of Baptism and Confirmation, 4)
the liturgy of the Eucharist. This is the time where many in RCIA
are brought
into full communion with the Catholic Church. Many people have
said, once they have experienced the fullness of the Triduum, they
plan on coming again year after year. Many mem-bers of the choir
have commented, that the Triduum not only defines
their faith tradition, but it reminds them of why we do what we
do. I invite you to make the complete Triduum part of your
tradition and immerse yourself in the Sacred Mystery that defines
life and love.
