We will continue to comply with health and safety protocols. Facial covering and social distancing of at least 6 feet between persons/families are to be observed.

Please click here for the report for fiscal year 2019-2020 that just ended June 30, 2020. 
This report contains very important information about the financial condition of our Parish.

Please remember to include the DSF in your giving.  We are about seventy-five percent paid toward our goal of $138,000 but our deadline is fast approaching of December 31, 2020. 
This is the time to be generous for the sake of the poor, the incarcerated, the elderly, and the sick who are suffering so much at this time.  This Fund helps more than 60 ministry groups. 
Thank you for your generosity.  You can bring or mail your donations to the church.  Make sure and write DSF on your check.

Unfortunately some unscrupulous people are still trying to take advantage of your generosity during these challenging times.  Some people have received emails and texts asking for you to purchase gift cards for Father Joseph.  This is a scam.  Father Joseph would never ask you to buy gift cards for him, especially during times like this.

Desafortunadamente algunas personas sin escrupulos todavia estan tratando de aprovecharse de su generosidad durante estos tiempos dificiles.  Algunas personas han recibido correos electronicos y mensajes de texto pidiendoles que compren tarjetas de regalo para el Padre Joseph. Esto es una estafa.  El Padre Joseph nunca le pediria que le comprara tarjetas de regalo, especialmente en momentos como estos.

 

We now have our own personal St Francis de Sales App!  It is full of wonderful information.  It has a calendar for special events including holiday Mass schedule and office closures, our bulletins, regular Mass schedule, homilies from Bishop Robert Barron, prayers, daily readings and more.  We will send out messages about special events, cancellations, and funeral announcements that you can receive directly on your phone.  Just text APP to 88202 or search My Parish App in Google Play or App Store or click on the icon above.  Once you download the app, it will use your location to bring up the closest church and you just select St Francis de Sales.  Always have the most current information about your parish home.
