News
Now is the time to Re Register your child(ren) for
another year of faith formation. You can do so by
simply filling out the form on our parish website:
www.sfdsnyc.org and sending the registration fee
into the office or paying on line through Parish
pay. We want to make sure we have room for all
our students, which is why RE Registering is so
important.
If you are A NEW FAMILY IN THE PARISH
and wish to register for the first time. Please feel
free to use the same form on line, and then make
an appointment to meet Jayne Porcelli to go over
the particulars of how our parish program is conducted. A baptism certificate is required along with
the registration fee.
Parish pay is an alternative means of fulfilling your stewardship commitment to St. Francis
that benefits both you and the parish.
Instead of weekly and special collection envelopes, the program collects your contribution amount
from your checking, savings or credit account on the
date and frequency your specify. The funds you designate are deducted from your account and directly credited to St. Francis. No more checks to write and no
more fumbling for cash.
Enrollment is easy, friendly, secure and most
of all there is no cost to you for using Parish Pay.
Benefits To You
You don’t have to worry about bringing your envelope
and checkbook to Mass every week.
You can provide regular ongoing support to St. Francis
even if you are away or unable to attend Mass.
You can easily adjust the amount of your contribution
anytime via the secured website.
You receive email reminders in advance of your
scheduled contributions.
Are you Thinking about Becoming Catholic?
You receive a year-end summary of your donations for
tax purposes.
We have a process for welcoming and initiating folks
into our Catholic Faith called “The Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adults” We meet weekly on Monday evenings at 7pm to discuss topics of faith and answer your
questions. It is designed to be a gradual process of formation. If you’d like more information please talk with
Fr Kelly or Jayne Porcelli. WE WILL NOT BE MEETING IN AUGUST, to allow time for all to enjoy a bit of
vacation. Our Monday evenings will begin again right
after Labor Day on Monday September 12. See you
then!
Benefits To St. Francis Church
It provides a more predictable stream of income that
will help church do a better job of forecasting and
budgeting.

DISCIPLINA
No es accidente que las palabras “discípulo” y
“disciplina” sean casi idénticas. Su relación en la fe y
la vida cristianas, sin embargo, ha caído en desuso en
la generación pasada debido a que ciertas reglas y
regulaciones prescritas en la fe cristiana se han reducido o relajado. Estas reglas con frecuencia eran llamadas “disciplinas”. Nos equivocamos, sin embargo,
si pensamos que ya no se necesita disciplina para seguir a Cristo. La Carta a los Hebreos nos lo asegura
hoy. Nuestra disciplina es como la de un atleta que
persigue una victoria o quiere ser el mejor, o como la
de un músico que lucha por hacer carrera como concertista o por perfección en la ejecución de una nueva
obra musical. Esta disciplina se basa en el deseo, no
en las reglas. Fue el deseo de hacer la voluntad de
Dios lo que motivó a Jesús en el camino hacia el calvario. Es ese mismo deseo el que él inspira en nosotros hoy: luchar por entrar por la puerta angosta, para
encontrarnos en el Reino con muchas personas que
están allí no solamente por observar las reglas, sino
por un sincero deseo de reclinarse a la mesa del celestial banquete.

TENTACIÓN
El número promedio de veces en que la gente
dice “no” a la tentación es cerca de una vez . . . débilmente.

Plataforma de Ofrenda Electrónica
A medida que nos acercamos a los meses de verano, cuando muchas personas se van de vacaciones, estamos pidiendo a cada uno de nosotros asumir la tarea de dar la bienvenida a la gente en nuestra asamblea. Cuando usted llega a
la iglesia el Sábado o el domingo, mire a su alrededor para
alguien que podría recibir un saludo amistoso o un cálido
apretón de manos. Todos podemos hacer que alguien se
sienta como en su casa. Vamos a compartir nuestra alegría
y una hoja de la canciónes o misalito uno con el otro. Por
último, le hemos preguntado lo que piensa acerca de los y
quioscos electrónicos. Ustedes han sido generosos en compartir su sabiduría con nosotros. Aquí está la noticia:
ninguno de nosotros le gusta pagar comisiones al banco ...
Que sorpresa! Hemos encontrado que es bastante fácil para
inscribirse en (Parish pay) donaciones recurrentes, en su
teléfono mientras está todavía aquí en la iglesia con nosotros. Nos encantaría tomar su tiempo hoy para ensenarles
como inscribirse ... para poder obtener bastante personas
invertidos en esta línea de dar ANTES que las vacaciones
de verano esten aqui! Todo lo que usted necesita tener con
usted es el teléfono e información de su cuenta bancaria.
Vamos a ayudarle a inscribirse antes de salir de la iglesia!
DIGNOS MAESTROS
Los que se comprometen a ejercer con la máxima
solicitud la misión educadora han de estar dotados de una
gran caridad, de una paciencia sin límites y, sobre todo, de
una profunda humildad . . . para que el Señor . . . los haga
idóneos cooperadores de la verdad.
—San José de Calasanz

WORTHY TEACHERS
All who undertake to teach must be endowed with
deep love, the greatest patience, and, most of all, profound humility. The Lord will find them worthy to become fellow workers with him in the cause of truth.
—St. Joseph Calasanz
TEMPTATION
The average number of times that people say “no”
to temptation is about once, weakly.
