- Eucharistic Revival Nights | St Francis of Assisi
Origen 4 Reasons for the Incarnation Do you know why Jesus Christ became man? Here are four reasons why as Catholics we believe this. They are found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. 1. The Word became flesh for us in order to save us by reconciling us with God, who "loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins" (CCC 457). 2. The Word became flesh so that thus we might know God's love: "In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him." (CCC 458). 3. The Word became flesh to be our model of holiness: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me." "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me" (CCC 459). 4. The Word became flesh to make us "partakers of the divine nature"..."For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God." (CCC 460). "We call this food Eucharist...For not as common bread nor common drink do we receive these...the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by Him...is both the flesh and blood of that incarnated Jesus." Quote from St. Justin Martyr, Early Church Father, (First Apology chapter 66, 153-155) Encounter Christ Through the Eucharist Join us for our 2024 Revival Nights, evenings focused on reviving our faith and focusing on the gift of the Eucharist. Our new format for the nights includes one hour of praise and worship on the first Wednesday of each month in the Church at 7:15pm. Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery here in the United States by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. - Message from the National Eucharistic Revival
- Our Mission | St Francis of Assisi
Nuestra misión Matthew 28 Brand Vision Values Goals Resources The Mission Statement of St. Francis of Assisi is the same Mission Statement that Jesus gave his eleven disciples (the Great Commissioning) found in the last chapter of Matthew. The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." MATTHEW 28:16-20 Our Brand brand vision Our Vision To help one another get to Heaven by building God’s Kingdom. values Our Values SERVANT LEADERSHIP The servant leader is thoughtful, selfless, bold, takes courageous, swift action, plans ahead, is flexible and thinks fast on their feet and works hard and smart for Christ.

Please contact Terry Bannerman (tbannerman@stfoafrisco.org ) our Safe Environment Coordinator to complete your clearance. Ambiente seguro Why Volunteer? Why minister with us? Our volunteer team is an important and vital aspect of the mission of our Church to build a community of young disciples of Jesus Christ. As a volunteer, you would join us in ministering to children/teens of our parish. It is one of the many ways to answer the call of Jesus to “make disciples of all nations” (Mt. 28). Why You? The staff members of St. Francis cannot personally reach and know each of the hundreds of children and teens along with the parents of our Church. With this in mind, it is true that any adult who comes in contact with the children/teens of our parish, whether their own child or someone else’s, are ministers to the children/teens of our parish. We cannot deny Christ’s call to evangelize, to “make disciples of all nations.” Our ministry efforts support and enhance the efforts of our parents (the primary catechists of their children) and the parish. Youth Volunteers! Youth Volunteers! 1/1 "Modern man listens more willlingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses." - Pope Paul VI - What makes a good Origin Volunteer? Volunteers have a love for God and a heart for children/teens. Volunteers aren’t perfect! Volunteers don’t have all the answers and they aren’t all “cool” and “young” and “relevant”. Volunteers are Catholic Christians trying to live out the Catholic faith and striving to walk daily with Jesus. What is the Criteria for ministering with us? We aim to provide an inviting and welcoming environment for each of our children/teens to come and encounter Christ. Part of this environment includes the adults that we trust to care and lead our children/teens. We ask that each of our adult volunteers meet the following criteria: Be a Catholic in good standing Be 18 years of age or older* Be Confirmed and actively living out their Catholic identity by participating in the Sacramental life of the Church Includes regular reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist If married, the marriage must be formally recognized by the Catholic Church or blessed by the Catholic Church through Convalidation.
