Dear Parishioners, Peace and blessing! On Wednesday, October 23 our Capuchin Fr. Sylvester Catallo was called to eternal life. His funeral was celebrated at St. Lawrence in Beacon. For those of you who remember him during his many years here at St. Francis (1967-1973), remember a friar full of life and love. Oh, how he loved to sing. May his soul now rest in peace. Fr. Sylvester was 90 years old. This week the Church universal invites us to pray for voca ons. I ask each of you to please say one Hail Mary daily for voca ons. The priesthood and religious life are a vital part of the Church. Also, don’t be fearful of encouraging someone, a child, grandchild, friend to think about this incredible way of life. In our Gospel today, because of the hospitali-ty the tax collector extends to Jesus and his conver-sion of heart, Zacchaeus is raised up by Jesus as a model of salva on. Have a wonderful week! In His Peace, Fr. Martin Queridos feligreses, Paz y bendición! El miércoles 23 de octubre, nuestro hermano capuchino Padre Sylvester Catallo fue llamado a la vida eterna. Su funeral se celebró en St. Lawrence en Beacon. Para aquellos de ustedes que lo recuerdan durante sus muchos años aquí en San Francisco (1967-1973), recuer-den a un fraile lleno de vida y amor. Oh, cómo le gustaba cantar. Que su alma descanse ahora en paz. El Pd. Sylves-ter tenía 90 años. Esta semana la Iglesia universal nos invita a rezar por las vocaciones. Les pido a cada uno de ustedes que por favor digan un Ave María diariamente por las vocaciones. El sacerdocio y la vida religiosa son partes vitales de la Igle-sia. Además, no tengan miedo de alentar a alguien, un hijo, un nieto o un amigo a pensar en esta increíble forma de vida. En nuestro Evangelio de hoy, debido a la hospita-lidad que el recaudador de impuestos ex ende a Jesús y su conversión de corazón, Jesús levanta a Zaqueo como modelo de salvación. ¡Ten una maravillosa semana! En Su Paz, Padre Martin

Mass intentions – effective January 1, 2020

January 1st we will put into practice WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS the directives given

to us by both Canon Law and Cardinal To-bin.

Each weekend one Mass will be offered for the people of the parish (pro populo Mass). No Mass stipend can be accepted for this

Mass. Each Mass, weekend and weekday will have ONE intention with one stipend. In accord

with decree of the Congregation for the Clergy of 1991 a priest cannot gather together several

different intentions for which an individual offering has been made and satisfy them with a single Mass. Henceforth there will be only one intention per Mass with no exceptions.

FOOD PANTRY We are making every effort to prepare baskets for Thanksgiving

for the families in need of our parish. We are in need of the following: Turkeys, Rice, canned milk, tea, coffee, cereal, jelly

& peanut butter, sugar, flour, pasta, tomato sauce, oil, and cookies only. You can bring them with you to Mass and leave them with the ushers or at the rectory. We want to thank all those who have helped us in the past to feed those less fortu-nate. NO CAN GOODS . NO PERISHABLE ITEMS. May God bless

you for sharing.
