Some Points of Interest From the Pastor


DAILY MASS AT SAINT FRANCIS 

Starting Monday, September 13, Mass will be celebrated at Saint Francis Xavier Church at 9 AM Monday to Thursday.  Those wishing an intention celebrated during the 9 AM Mass are asked to contact the Parish Office at 718.638.1880, or online at SASFX.org  An intention for Daily Mass is an ideal way to remember loved ones, pray for the sick, assist those going through struggles or seek a way to express our thanks to God. Please check your calendar and consider having a Mass celebrated for your special intention or need. Note that Masses are available on Saturday afternoon and Sunday as well at both Saint Augustine—Saint Francis Xavier Churches.

 

CHURCHES OPEN FOR PRIVATE PRAYER 

Beginning Monday, September 13 both Saint Augustine & Saint Francis Xavier Churches will be open for some time each day for private prayer. 

The current plan would is the following: 

•    Saint Francis Xavier will be open for private prayer and reflection from Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM—11 AM. 

•    Saint Augustine  will be open for private prayer and re-flection from Monday to Friday from 8:30—11 AM. 

Please note that for safety, restrooms will not be available. 


WEEKLY SACRIFICE & PARISH SUPPORT 

I am grateful to all those who support Saint Augustine~Saint Francis Xavier each week by being present at Mass, sharing in the sacrifice to make a donation at the Offertory of the Mass, and through online giving during these days of distance for safety. 

I am grateful to those, who although not with us during the summer months, were still faithful to their support of their parish. As you may know, or will come to know, there are a great deal of projects that need to be addressed. 

Once again, your weekly offering, and drastically cutting expenses, will help me to work with you to move both Saint Augustine ~ Saint Francis Xavier into a more secure future. 

Although I have only been here for a little over two months, I am aware of the generosity of those who call this parish their spiritual home. For those needing information on how to register and receive weekly envelopes, please contact the Parish Office. 

Sincerely, 

Fr. Frank Tumino
