Manny Dear St. Francis Family, We celebrate this weekend the feast of the Divine Mercy of our Lord. God has been merciful, loving and forgiving to His people as He revealed to St. Faustina, the privileged recipient of God’s message of mercy. “It is that God loves us – all of us. And He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.” (Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC) Pope Francis in one of his first homilies after being elected to Papacy said: “The joy of God is the joy of forgiveness.” It has been in the history of our salvation, the very nature of God to love, care and forgive His people and bring them to repentance. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2Chr. 7:14) May we all extend God’s love and forgiveness to others as our response to the incredible love and mercy of God in our lives as expressed in the prayer of our patron saint, St. Francis, allowing the Lord to make us instruments of his love and mercy to His people, especially in this parish. May the Divine Mercy bless all of us. Amen Fr. Manny Querida familia de San Francisco: Este fin de semana celebramos la fiesta a la Divina Misericordia de Nuestro Señor. Dios ha sido misericordioso, amoroso y perdona a su pueblo como se lo reveló a Santa Faustina, la privilegiada del mensaje de la misericordia de Dios. “Es que Dios nos ama – a todos. Él quiere que reconozcamos que Su Misericordia es más grande que nuestros pecados, para que nos acerquemos a Él con confianza, para que recibamos Su Misericordia y la dejemos derramar sobre otros. De tal manera que todos participemos de Su Gozo.” (Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC) El Papa Francisco dijo en una de sus primeras homilías después de ser electo al Papado: “La alegría de Dios es la alegría del perdón.” Ha sido la historia de nuestra salvación, la manera de amar de Dios, cuidar y perdonar a su pueblo y llevarlo al arrepentimiento. “Y mi pueblo, sobre el cual es invocado mi Nombre para siempre, se humilla, rezando, y buscando mi rostro, y se vuelven de sus malos caminos, yo entonces los oiré desde los cielos, perdonaré su pecado y sanaré su tierra.” (2 Cró 7:14) Que todos podamos extender el amor de Dios y el perdón a los demás como nuestra respuesta al amor increíble y la misericordia de Dios en nuestras vidas como se expresa en la oración de nuestro santo patrón, San Francisco de Asís, permitiendo que el Señor nos haga instrumentos de su amor y misericordia de su pueblo, especialmente en esta parroquia. Que la Divina Misericordia nos bendiga a todos. Amén. Padre Manny Registration for Religious Education: Registration for RE classes will open to new students on April 7th and will continue until all available space is filled. Our parish has 6 classrooms available for classes on Sundays. Each classroom can hold a maximum of 24 students. Every year, there are more students wanting to enroll than we have room for. In order to make sure that all active and supporting members of our community can be served, registration with the parish must be current and verified before a student can be registered. If you are receiving envelopes, then your registration is current. If you are not sure if your family is registered, you can verify through the RE office at 972-227-0770. Registration can be done online at stfrancislancaster.org. Some registration can also be done on the phone at 972-227 -0770 or through email at [email protected]. Walk in registration will be available beginning April 7th from 9:30-2:30 including lunch hour. The RE Office will be open for registration on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-2:30 pm, Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 pm, and on Sundays from 8:30 am-1:00 pm. Classes for grades 1-6 are held on Sundays at 8:30-9:40 am and 11:00 am-noon. For grades 7th and up, all classes are on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm. All students are placed in grade level classes, with exceptions for special needs students determined on a case by case basis.

Students are able to make Confirmation at the end of 8th grade if they have 2 years of classes. Students who are in their second year and are receiving sacraments will also need to attend additional sessions for parents and students together. If a student is well beyond the age for 1st Holy Communion, that student will be enrolled in a grade level and will need to return the following year and complete it before making their 1st Communion. Also, a student who is in 10th or 11th grade and needs to make 1st Communion and/or Confirmation, will most likely be directed to an adult class, RCIA for example.

The fees schedule is at follows: One student——$50 Two students in the same family-$60 for the family Three or more students in the same family-$75 for the family.
