“United in Love” Pre – Pride Mass
Join us for our annual
United in Love Pre-Pride festive Mass
5:15 PM Saturday, June 23, 2018.
“Inspired by our faith in Jesus Christ,
and rooted in the charism of St. Francis of Assisi,
we actively welcome all people.”
This is the first declaration in our parish mission statement. It is how our community at St. Francis thinks and acts.
We are again celebrating this welcome to all people at our United in Love Celebration.
This is a Weekend of Prayer for and with our LGBT Brothers and Sisters.
This is an opportunity for our whole parish community to remember that the Lord invited all people to follow him, regardless of race, ethnicity, economic background, gender or sexual orientation.
It is also an opportunity for all of us to invite to Mass any of our friends who many not feel welcome at the table of the Lord for whatever reason, but especially if they are gay or lesbian. Take the opportunity to bear witness to the unconditional love of God by reaching out and inviting back a brother or sister who hasn’t been home in a while.

About Fr. Santo:
Friar Santo entered the Franciscans (Order of Friars Minor Conventual) in Ellicott City, Maryland in1984.
He completed his theological and pastoral at the Washington Theological Union and received a Masters of Theology. On October 12. 1991 he was ordained a friar-priest in Baltimore, Maryland.
From 1991 to 1996 he served as an associate pastor of Most Holy Trinity Church, a Latino parish in Brooklyn, NY. From 1996 to 2001 as associate pastor of St. Clement Mary Parish in Baltimore, Maryland. In the summer of 2001 through the spring of 2005 he served as one of five associate campus ministers at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.
In the summer of 2000 Friar Santo became a Reserve Chaplain for the United States Navy. As a Navy Chaplain he has served the men and women of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. He was deployed in service to Operation Enduring Freedom in Dijibuiti for a year. Upon completing his deployment Friar Santo returned to Brooklyn as Pastor, and together with a great pastoral team merged two parishes into the combined identity of Most Holy Trinity-St. Mary, a trilingual parish. After eight years of ministry in Brooklyn he was transferred to the Archdiocese of Atlanta, Georgia where he continued to ministered to the Latino community until the summer of 2017.
