The Diocese of Fort Worth will celebrate its 40th Anniversary on August 9, 2009. Bishop Kevin Vann has designated the anniversary year as one of spiritual renewal -- strengthening the bonds of Communion in our local Church. The year-long observance will begin with a special Eucharistic Liturgy at 3 pm on Sunday, August 9, 2009, at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena.
The new Electronic Giving Program has been announced over the last couple of months. This optional program offers every parishioner convenience, consistency and much less paperwork. Specifically, Regular Saturday/Sunday Mass, Stewardship, Building Fund and Mission Outreach contributions can all be electronically transferred on a monthly basis. Enrollment forms and detailed instructions are available on the parish Web site at www.stfrances.net under the Electronic Giving tab or at the vestibule of the Church. Just return your completed form to Father Juan or to Maureen Fuller in the Parish business office to activate your enrollment. This program began in January 2009. This is an ongoing program.
