An Early Precaution: With the continual change of
weather we are reminded that the flu and cold season is
upon us. Let us use common sense with regard to attending Mass when you are sick or believe you are catching
something. A person who is ill is excused from the Sunday obligation. (Canon 1248b). Please use the respect &
consideration for others in receiving the Blood of Christ,
in giving the handshake of peace and handholding during
the Lord’s Prayer.
Thanks to Pat Adamcik for conducting the First Aid training on Saturday, January 9, 2016 and for all who attended. If
your organization is interested in this 1 hour training, where
simple lifesavings tactics are taught, please call the Business
office at 972-227-7080 so we can schedule these trainings in
the event of an emergency on our premises.
Muchas gracias al Sr. Pat Adamcik por conducir el
entrenamiento de primeros auxilios el sábado 9 de enero del
2016 y también a todos los que participaron en este entrenamiento. Si algún grupo parroquial está interesado en esta
sesión de entrenamiento de uno hora donde se aprende tácticas simples que pueden salvar una vida, por favor de llamar
a la oficina al (972) 227-7080, para programar otra sesión
en el salón parroquial.

In recent weeks, at weekend masses, we have had folks
soliciting parishioners after Masses for monetary donations.
While we all want to help those less fortunate than ourselves, we need to take the proper channels. That is why we
have the St. Vincent de Paul Society. If someone stops you,
do not be rude, but kindly refer them to SVDP. We have
informational cards available in the Sacristy to give them so
professional assistance can be provided. If the situation
turns violent, then warn that a call to 911 will be made.
En semanas recientes, nuestros feligreses han sido
abordados por personas pidiendo limosna al salir de misa.
Todos queremos ayudar a los menos afortunados que nosotros, pero debemos hacerlo de la manera más apropiada.
No hay que ser descortés con ellos, pero eviten darles dinero. Amablemente refiéranlos a San Vicente de Paul para
que reciban asistencia. Si la situación se torna violenta, por
favor llamar al 911.

A Note from Fr. Manny
Dear St Francis Family,
Two days past, the 51st International
Eucharistic Congress was opened here in
the Philippines which is held in Cebu City,
hometown of Fr Albert and will end on the
31st of this month with the theme from Col 1:27,
"Christ in you, our hope of glory."
The congress focuses on the fullness of the Eucharist in
our Catholic faith and its mission in the life of the Church.
Today's 2nd Reading brings us to reflect that each
and everyone of us is a significant member of the Mystical body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:12-30) and we share
Christ's Mission through His Church where we belong
as a member.
In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, may we become all
aware that being Christians we are all Ambassadors of
Christ in this generation to show God's love and mercy to
all especially those who have been alienated from the
Catholic faith for we live in one faith as a Church existing
not only as a club of saints but a hospital of sinners.
May God help us like St Francis to become always His instruments of God's love and Mercy.
With all my prayers and love from the Philippines,
Fr Manny
Querido San Francisco Familia,
Hace dos días, inicio el 51º Congreso Eucarístico
Internacional aquí en Cebú, Filipinas, ciudad natal del
Padre Albert y finalizará el día 31 de este mes con el
tema de Col 1:27, "¡Cristo entre ustedes y la esperanza de la Gloria!”
El congreso se centra en la plenitud de la Eucaristía
en nuestra fe católica y su misión en la vida de la Iglesia.
La segunda lectura de hoy nos lleva a reflexionar
que todos y cada uno de nosotros es un miembro importante del cuerpo místico de Cristo (1 Cor. 12: 1230) y a la vez compartimos la misión de Cristo a través
de Su Iglesia donde pertenecemos como miembros.
En este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, seamos conscientes de que al llamarnos cristianos todos somos embajadores de Cristo de esta generación de demostrar el amor
y la misericordia de Dios a todos, especialmente aquellos
que han estado alejados de la fe católica porque vivimos
en una sola fe como Iglesia que existe no sólo como un
club de santos, sino un hospital de pecadores.
Que Dios nos ayude como a San Francisco de
Asís para convertirnos siempre en sus instrumentos de
su amor y su misericordia.
Con todas mis oraciones y amor desde las Filipinas,
Padre Manny
