"Christ became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him" (Philipians 2:8). Thank you for joining us for the Liturgy of the Lord's passion. Please join us tomorrow for our Easter Vigil.

"Do this in memory of Me." (1 Cor 11:24) Thank you for joining us for the Mass of the Lord's Supper. We will have Adoration in the Church until 12:00 am (Midnight). Please join us tomorrow in the Church at 3:00 pm (Spanish) or 7:00 pm (English) for the Passion of the Lord Liturgy.

• HOLY THURSDAY •
Mass of the Lord’s Supper | Bilingual 7:00 pm | Church

On Holy Thursday, we celebrate the institution of the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Christ and the institution of the sacrament of priesthood. During the Last Supper, Jesus offered himself up as the Passover sacrifice. He teaches that each ordained priest is to follow this sacrifice in the same exact way. Additionally, on Holy Thursday, we participate in the washing of the feet (also called mandatum). The mandatum ritualizes Christ’s action on the night before he died when he showed his disciples an example of how they are to love one another in imitation of his love for them.

What are the priorities of the Capital Campaign? Fr. Rudy and Deacon Alex answer another question that has been raised by our parish about the projects being funded by the I Am with You Always Capital Campaign. Watch the full video on on YouTube (stfrancisofassisifrisco).

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is not about fear or shame but healing and restoration. Through the sacrament, we are reconciled with God, receive the grace to overcome sin, grow in holiness and start anew with a clean slate.

Haven’t gone to confession in a while? Lent is the perfect time to go!

We’ve had many questions from you about the dollar amount of pledges made to the I Am with You Always Capital Campaign that we wanted to address to the parish. At the beginning of the campaign, we worked to determine specific ask amounts for every family at St. Francis. These amounts were based primarily on your generosity to the parish in the past, along with several other lesser factors, like giving to the previous capital campaign.

These questions and more are answered in full on our YouTube channel @stfrancisofassisifrisco.

“The growth of Jesus ‘in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man’ (Lk. 2:52) took place within the Holy Family under the eyes of St. Joseph, who had the important task of ‘raising’ Jesus, that is, feeding, clothing, and educating him in the Law and in a trade, in keeping with the duties of a father.” --St. John Paul II

Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph, the protector of the Holy Family and a model of fatherly love, humility, and faithfulness. May his example inspire us to live with devotion and care for those entrusted to us. 🙏

Last Wednesday’s Revival Night ✨🙏

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us! It’s always such a blessing to come together in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes!

Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous, 14-year-old girl, in 1858 in Lourdes, France. She urged Bernadette to pray, do penance, and encourage others to come to the spring that had miraculously appeared. Many who visited the spring experienced physical and spiritual healing, and Lourdes became one of the most beloved pilgrimage sites in the world.
