Siempre que un sacerdote celebra misa, tiene al menos dos intenciones específicas. La primera intención es celebrar la Misa de acuerdo con las rúbricas que la Iglesia dispuso sobre cómo decir la Misa. El segundo es aplicar la gracia de esa Misa hacia una necesidad o intención específica. En cuanto a la primera intención, un sacerdote puede encontrar útil haga una oración tradicional mientras está vestida, declarando su intención de rezar bien la Misa. En cuanto a la segunda intención, comúnmente llamada "la intención de la Misa", esa intención a menudo se anuncia en el boletín parroquial y, a veces, también se anuncia en la Misa.

BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS Donating bonds or mutual fund shares may provide donors attractive tax incentives. Please contact the Senior Director of Operations for more information on how to transfer securities. STOCK Learn More For most people there are tax advantages available for donating stock directly to St. Francis. Moving the stock directly to St. Francis allows you to take a full tax deduction on the value of the stock at the time of the donation regardless of acquisition cost. This means you can also avoid the costs of selling stock and taxes you might pay on the capital gains. Please consult your tax adviser to ensure this works for your personal tax situation. PLANNED GIVING Planned giving is the process of carefully selecting the best method and asset for making a charitable gift. Such a gift can enable you to take full advantage of the tax laws to accomplish your financial and charitable goals. Planned gifts can be made through, among others: Bequests by will or living trust Charitable Lead or Remainder Trusts Charitable Gift Annuities Beneficiary benefits from IRA’s, pensions, or financial accounts. Our Senior Director of Operations or your tax adviser can provide more information about these options or answer any questions you may have about making a gift or pledge to St. Francis. BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS IRAs/QCDs For eligible tax years, individuals age 70½ or over can exclude up to $108,000 for 2025 from gross income for donations paid directly to a qualified charity from their IRA. When donation checks are sent by financial institutions rather than directly from the donor—such as with QCDs—we often do not receive enough information to identify the donor or the intended fund (e.g., operating fund, building maintenance fund, Capital Campaign fund, etc..). To ensure your gift is properly recorded and applied according to your wishes, please email Khastings@stfoafrisco.org (or call 214-619-1058) and provide us with your name, the name of your financial institution, the approximate amount of your donation, and the fund to which you wish to contribute.

Les da una gracia especial del Espíritu Santo, fortaleciéndolos espiritual y físicamente contra los efectos de la enfermedad.

Si se necesita ungir antes de la próxima misa trimestral programada, por ejemplo, una cirugía, donde una enfermedad grave es el motivo de la cirugía, quimioterapia, tratamiento de radiación, etc., llame a la oficina parroquial al 972-712-2645, para hacer arreglos para venir a la parroquia para que un sacerdote administre el sacramento, probablemente antes o después de una de las misas programadas regularmente. Si la persona enferma, debido a su condición, no puede viajar a la parroquia, él, un miembro de la familia, tutor o cuidador deben llamar a la oficina parroquial al 972-712-2645, para hacer arreglos para que un sacerdote visite a la persona enferma. para administrar la Santa Cena.

News A Message from the Pastor: Capital Campaign Planning Study Dear Parishioners, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is looking to the future. As you may know, on Pentecost of 2022, when we launched our new Mission Statement, Matthew 28:16-20, we announced five top priorities that comprise our Strategic Plan. One of those priorities is a Campus Improvement Plan. Since that time, our parish leaders have been studying St. Francis’s long-range needs. The process involves developing a long-term master plan in partnership with HH Architects to determine the needs of our parish, ministries, most important initiatives and programs. Also in that time, we have had planning meetings with our Finance and Pastoral Councils, Ministry Committee, and meaningful conversations with our ministry leaders and staff. Through that process, we have identified several priorities that will keep our parish strong for decades to come. The proposed projects are the construction of a new evangelization center to house a conference center with meeting rooms, an auditorium and fellowship hall space; a youth center with classrooms and education facilities; a family life center with gymnasium; an adoration chapel to allow for perpetual adoration worship; and several other goals aimed at reducing parish debt and supporting the proposed regional diocesan school. Before we move forward, though, we want to hear from you. St. Francis is conducting a planning study, which starts November 20th and includes a survey of the entire parish community. The survey will let us know which projects you – our faith family – consider the most important and will gauge support for a potential major fundraising effort to pay for them. We are partnering with the Steier Group, a leading Catholic development firm, to conduct the study. We will share more details about the study, the projects and a potential capital campaign in the coming weeks. God Bless, Fr. Rudy Garcia Pastor Queridos feligreses, La Iglesia Católica de San Francisco de Asís mira hacia el futuro. Como ustedes saben, en Pentecostés de 2022, cuando lanzamos nuestra nueva Declaración de Misión, Mateo 28:16-20, anunciamos cinco prioridades principales que comprenden nuestro Plan Estratégico. Una de esas prioridades es un Plan de Mejora del Campus. Desde entonces, nuestros líderes parroquiales han estado estudiando las necesidades a largo plazo de San Francisco. El proceso implica el desarrollo de un plan maestro a largo plazo en colaboración con HH Arquitects para determinar las necesidades de nuestra parroquia, los ministerios, y las iniciativas y programas más importantes. También en ese tiempo, hemos tenido reuniones de planificación con nuestros Consejos de Finanzas y Pastoral, Comité de Ministerio, y conversaciones significativas con nuestros líderes de los ministerios y el personal. A través de ese proceso, hemos identificado varias prioridades que mantendrán fuerte a nuestra parroquia durante las próximas décadas. Los proyectos propuestos son la construcción de un nuevo centro de evangelización para albergar un centro de conferencias con salas de reuniones, un auditorio y un salón de compañerismo; un centro juvenil con aulas e instalaciones educativas; un centro de vida familiar con gimnasio; una capilla de adoración para permitir adoración perpetua; y varios otros objetivos destinados a reducir la deuda de la parroquia y apoyar la escuela diocesana regional propuesta. Sin embargo antes de seguir adelante, queremos saber de usted. San Francisco está llevando a cabo un estudio de planificación, que comienza el 20 de noviembre e incluye una encuesta a toda la comunidad parroquial. La encuesta nos permitirá saber cuáles son los proyectos que ustedes -nuestra familia de fe- consideran más importantes y medirá el apoyo para un potencial esfuerzo de recaudación de fondos para pagarlos. Estamos colaborando con el Grupo Steier, una empresa católica líder en desarrollo, para llevar a cabo el estudio. En las próximas semanas daremos más detalles sobre el estudio, los proyectos y la posible campaña de recaudación de fondos. Dios los bendiga, Padre Rudy García Párroco
