A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped with our parish picnic in any way. May the Lord bless our shared efforts and make them bear fruit in greater Christian love and mutual support within our community.
Jubilee Year of St. Francis (until January 10, 2027)
To mark the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi, a plenary indulgence may be obtained by making a pilgrimage to a Franciscan church. As ours is a Franciscan church, you may obtain it right here. The usual conditions apply: sacramental Confession, Holy Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father. Conclude with the Our Father, the Creed, and an invocation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Francis, St. Clare, and all the saints of the Franciscan family. The elderly, the sick, and the homebound may also obtain it by uniting themselves spiritually and offering their prayers and sufferings to God. The indulgence may be applied to the souls in Purgatory.
Starting Next Sunday, October 11
- Children's Catechism – 8:50. Parents, you are the first teachers of the faith. Please register your children and make sure they attend every week. Their formation is our shared responsibility.
- Parish Choir – 9.00. Do you love to sing? Join us and help our liturgy give glory to God.
Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
- Sundays: 30 minutes before Mass
- First Fridays: 17:00, during Eucharistic Adoration

- Catechesis: support the faith formation of our children
Please do not wait to be asked. Speak to any Parish Council member or Fr. Michael today. For the lectors' schedule, contact Rey Del Prado (@MrReynldeas) or Patty James (@pattyjamesbkk).
