WANTED: NEW MEMBERS
The St. Francis de Sales Craft Group is looking for new
members. We meet every Monday morning from 9:30–11:30
in the O’Leary Room at the Parish Center. We are involved in
many projects throughout the year. Most of our efforts are
directed to provide items of interest which we sell at our
yearly Holiday Bazaar. Proceeds are donated to many worthy
Parish organizations, some of which are: scholarships for
deserving seniors, the St. Vincent de Paul Society, lunches
for the homeless, and many more. We welcome anyone who
may be interested in joining us. Come and share your talents
with us. We have fun!

with anyone who would like additional
prayers.
On Thursday nights at 7:00 PM the St. Francis de Sales
Charismatic Prayer Group meets in room four of the Parish
Center. We sing and praise the Lord. If you and your family
would like to learn more about the joy that comes from a
greater knowledge and closeness to the Holy Spirit, please

USHERS STILL NEEDED
St. Francis de Sales is in desperate need of ushers for the
noon Sunday Mass. Being an usher is more than just administering the collection. Ushers are responsible for ensuring
that our church is hospitable to everyone. We are the Parish
greeters, we pass out the bulletins, we seat those who require
assistance, etc.
Please consider volunteering to act as an usher, either as
a permanent addition or as a fill-in when necessary. Please
contact Eric Abt at 721-4536 or one of the ushers at the Mass
you normally attend.
JURY DUTY VS. SUNDAY MASS?
The following is the dress code for jury duty in
Pima County:
“The temperature of the jury assembly areas and
courtrooms can be unpredictable. Jurors are encouraged to dress accordingly. Mini skirts, shorts,
skorts, tank tops, halters, and rubber sandals are
not permitted. If you should appear wearing these
items, you may be required to return home at your
own expense to change to more suitable attire or you
may be given a new report date.”
IN DESPERATE NEED OF A KIDNEY
My name is Diane White. I would like to express my
heartfelt gratitude to those Parishioners who have come
forward to offer to give me a kidney. Unfortunately, there has
not been a match as of yet. I have type O blood and the
kidney donor must also have type O blood.
The donor's medical expenses would be fully covered by
my insurance. If someone is willing to be tested, the contact
information is:
Annette Whinery, RN
Kidney Transplant Coordinator
University Medical Center, Tucson
520-694-7365
Please mention my name, Diane White, when calling.
Thank you, and may God bless you and your loved ones with
health and happiness.
We remember in our prayers Daniella Parra. May Eternal
Light shine upon all who have died.

WEEKLY FAMILY PRAYER
Many of you have participated in a program of daily recitation of the Rosary for
the intentions of all families. This includes
a statue of Our Lady of the Rosary, which
is passed from family to family each week.
The statue of our Lady is to stay in
each home for a period of seven days.
The host family will pray the Rosary every
day along with the meditation for each
day. Then the statue will go to the next
person on the schedule. There is a notebook that goes along with the statue. The
notebook contains special prayers and the meditations for
each day.
If you are interested, the sign-up sheet is in the vestibule of
the church. Please enter your name and telephone number
for the week you desire. The statue and book are to be returned to the Parish Center on Mondays so the next family
can pick them up.
CATHOLIC SCHOOL TUITION ASSISTANCE
St. Augustine Catholic High School has Corporate Tax
Credit tuition assistance immediately available for qualified

CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES
At Mass today, we have the wonderful story of the Good
Samaritan, the unlikely alien to the Jewish establishment who
reached out and cared for the man who had fallen among
thieves.

Community Services. You can help us touch lives through
your prayers and support. Call 623-0344 for ways in which
you may be Good Samaritans.
