Happy Sunday!

A very happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers in our community. We are so blessed by the gift of motherhood in life. I hope it's a relaxing day filled with gratitude for all of you!

We are very excited that Vacation Bible School is quickly approaching! Each year we have about 100 children attend, with many teens helping lead the week. If you have school age children or grandchildren we hope to see them there. If you’ve ever wanted to support the youth of the parish in their journey of faith this is a great way to help.

Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone has had a great week and been able to enjoy some sunshine! I’m so glad it's May and looking forward to the warmer weather. While Sacraments have been completed for the children and adults in the parish, we continue to have a full schedule. Next weekend will be Dcn. Joseph’s last weekend in the parish. He will return on Sat, Jun 8 to celebrate the 4:30pm Mass. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. The school year is starting to wind down but that also means getting ready for 8th grade graduation. Please pray for our students as they complete their school year.

Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone has had a good week. We’ve been advertising our parish pilgrimage to Italy this coming October. I hope you’re able to join us. It’s a great opportunity to visit the tomb of our parish patron St. Francis of Assisi, as well as, see the tomb of the great St. Padre Pío di Pietrelcina.

Happy Sunday!

Spring is doing it's best to break through and it is wonderful! I hope everyone is enjoying a bit of the warmer weather. It is great seeing our newly confirmed receiving Holy Communion regularly now! What a gift to our parish and the Church!

Happy Sunday!

This weekend we welcomed Bishop Nevares to confer Confirmation and give First Communion to nearly 100 of our children and adult candidates! Thank you for keeping them all in your prayers! A special thanks to our staff and their teams for preparing everyone for their Sacraments. What a beautiful day!

This Sunday is the last day in the Octave of Easter. I want to offer a big thank you to all of our volunteers and staff who made Holy Week and Easter Sunday such a success! On Holy Thursday we opened Nativity and OLG for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It was great to see so many people making a pilgrimage around Flagstaff. I am especially grateful to our sacristans who helped decorate the altars. I also want to thank the Knights of Columbus and Porters of St. Joseph who were present to make sure we had a safe evening. Our choirs, ushers, and church decorators who gave a lot of their time and energy to make our liturgies beautiful, and I am especially thankful to them as well.
