FAMILY PRAYER
Father, we thank you for your love and for your many blessings, especially the precious gift of each other. Help us to show our gratitude by loving each other as you love us.
Make us understanding and patient with one another – quick to admit our failings and ask forgiveness – generous in sharing the joy and strength we can give each other.
Father, give our family lively faith and the courage to share it with those around us. Direct us to the state in life you plan for each of us, and help us to use your gifts to serve you.
We entrust our family to your fatherly care. Preserve us from the corruption of the modern world and help us draw closer daily to you and to each other, until we come to share with you the joys of Heaven. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, help us to be a holy family.

BIBLES & CATHECISMS: If you or someone you know is in need of a Bible or Catechism of the Catholic Church, we will have a supply available soon in the Narthex.  If you are able to, there is a suggested donation indicated on the envelope that will be inside the Bible or Catechism.  This will allow us to keep the program going.  If you are unable to make a donation and are in need of a Bible or Catechism, please take one with our compliments.  If you would like to simply make a donation to the Bible & Catechism program, there will be some extra envelops for that purpose.  Envelopes may be placed in the collection basket and monies placed in a fund designated for this program. If you have any question, you may contact Mitzi Weaver at mweaver@stfrancishhi.org or 681-6350 x 248.

ELECTRONIC GIVING:  Thanks to all who have signed up for our new electronic giving program.   It’s not too late…you can sign up anytime!  You can pick up an application in the Parish Office or find one on line at http://www.stfrancishhi.org/autocontributions.html along with Pastor's suggested tithing guidelines.
