Remembering Our Neighbors this Holiday Season
Please be mindful this holiday season: if you are attending social gatherings, think about your neighbors’ health and consider staying home from Mass. You can always watch a livestream of Mass at St. Francis on our Facebook page, https://fb.me/stfrancismhd.org. We all need to help take care of each other during these trying times.

Office Closed--No "In-Person" Mass This Weekend Nov. 28-29
Dear Parishioners of St Francis de Sales,
Our staff at St Francis de Sales have not had a “break” since last spring when Covid began. Thanksgiving being a family “gathering” time, most of our staff will be going to the home of their parents or relatives for a Thanksgiving gathering. Therefore, the offices of St Francis de Sales will be closed Thanksgiving Day through Friday Dec. 4 so they can all observe a period of self-quarantine, get Covid tested and be assured they are healthy and not spreading little Covids around to our parishioners. We will not be having “in-person” Masses the week-end of November 28 & 29 however there will be a pre-recorded “livestreamed” Mass celebrated by Fr. Raul on Saturday night and English and Spanish Masses on Sunday at the normal times. Fr. Raul and the staff wish all of our parishioners a Happy Thanksgiving and if you are traveling, travel safely and stay healthy.

Fr. Raul Email Scam
Once again the Father Raul email scam has reared its head. Father will never contact you by email or other means to ask you to buy him anything or to do him a "favor." If you receive one of these emails, please delete it.
