A message from Fr. Tom about this moment in our nation

Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis of Assisi Church,

May the Lord give you peace.

In light of the events of January 6th, I ask your prayers for the healing of our nation. The wrongful actions at our nation’s capital are reflective of the divisions we experience. We are overwhelmed by the pain and struggle that fear has engendered.

I ask your prayers for our nation. Perhaps, we could simply reflect on the judgment scene in Matthew 25 and praying the peace prayer. Perhaps, we could reflect on how we each participate in the divisiveness. What do our words, silence, and actions say about the compassion which marks us as disciples?

I give thanks for your good judgment and your commitment to the life of the Gospel. We pray for everyone involved in today’s activity. May the peace of Christ prevail, and may we discern how best we can be the “light of the world.”

Again, please take some time for prayer. This particular event may be over, but the wound will not quickly be healed.

The friars and staff are praying with you.

Peace and all good,

Fr. Tom, ofm

St. Francis needs Livestream Volunteers

We are still building a team of volunteers to help us with our livestream of the daily 12 noon and 5 PM masses and our Sunday 11:00am and 5 PM masses. In addition we have special celebrations throughout the year, like Christmas, Holy Week, Easter and other Masses, which we want to make available to everyone via livestream.

We are also available to livestream your wedding or a funeral.

We are looking for volunteers who want to help with our media ministry team. It is not difficult and we will train you if you are interested. You only need to have an average comfort with computers and a basic understanding of the order of the Mass. We will train you on how to livestream even if you never have before.

This is a great way to serve the Church and meet others who are interested in this ministry.

Please consider joining our team.

Contact Edward Trochimczuk at [email protected]g for more information.

Come let us adore Him

Christmas welcome from St. Francis of Assisi Church, New York

Blessed Christmas, everyone. During this holy Christmas season, we celebrate the Birth of Jesus. Thank you for joining us. At this blessed time and every day, St. Francis of Assisi Church welcomes the Christ who comes among us in you.

Come all ye faithful, joining us with family and friends come all who are alone. Come you have recently lost someone close to you. Come you who are with someone special. No matter where your life journey has led you, come to this celebration. Come… Christ is here, and you are welcome.

Come you who are treasured parishioners. Come most welcome guest. Come, you for whom it has been some time since you have entered a church. Come you who are of another faith tradition. Come you who are you seeking a faith tradition. Come… Christ is here, and you are welcome.

Come, all ye faithful, Single, Married, Divorced, or Widowed. Come you who are Gay or Straight. Young and old, rich or poor come, do not delay. Come… Christ is here, and you are welcome.

Come you who have experienced abuse or violence or natural disaster. Come all who have been hurt in the past and feel unable to move on. Come you who are struggling in life, financially, emotionally, or spiritually. Come you who have been away. Come you who have been living in darkness, be light with us. All are welcome to come in Christ. Come with shepherds, magi, angels, saints, and sinners. Together we walk in the joyful hope of our God’s welcome! Come… Christ is here, and you are welcome.

2020 has been a difficult journey for many of us. Yet, we are truly blessed and humbled to be sharing in this joyous moment together. We celebrate the birth of Christ, the Son of God, who was born long ago in Bethlehem and is still among us today. Let us, in the silence of our hearts, wish our family and friends those near or far away, the living and the deceased, a Blessed Christmas. (allow for some silence)

In a manger, in a town far away, among shepherds, and in the dark of night, Jesus was born. Our salvation dawned. We celebrate this great feast of God’s love: a love so great that God sent his Son to dwell among us. Let us again hear the song of the angels. Come… let us adore him together.
