Soon, we will bid a fond farewell to Fr. Patrick Mpete,
SMA, as he concludes his summer with us and returns to
his home in the Republic of Congo. We’ll have a special
collection for the great work of the SMA order next
weekend at all the Masses. Thank you, Fr. Patrick!
Welcome, your Excellency!
As we welcome Bishop Richard Henning as our new Archbishop,
let’s pray that God will give him every good gift of
the Holy Spirit he will need. His installation will take place
on Thursday, Oct. 31 at the Cathedral.
Catholic Appeal update
St. Francis and St. Mary- St. Catherine have both hit
over 100% of our Catholic Appeal assessments!
The Appeal helps our parishes, Collaborative and our Archdiocese!

Stewardship
Let’s look ahead to how we all can get involved in our Collaborative,
at St. Francis de Sales and St. Mary- St. Catherine.
Take a look at some of the ministries that will benefit
from your involvement in committees:
Worship, Baptism Prep, Wedding, St. Francis Hall,
Stewardship, Social, Spiritual, Family,
Social Justice, and Adult Confirmation/RCIA.
Please share your talents with us!
Such an easy and generous way to give!
Please consider online giving to help us pay our bills
and plan for the future. Give us a call or drop us a note
and we’ll walk you through the process. Thank you!
