Staff Corner

Your Ministry IS More Than Just Volunteerism!!!

As our universal church evolves to be an open door welcoming community that we at St. Francis have already accom- plished, and continue to accomplish, I think we sometimes forget that living the Christian life requires sacrifice and consistent leaps of faith. Isn't that one of the reasons we come to church? To be strengthened in our conviction and made courageous to live as we are called to. Also, isn't our time in church one that we are instructed and inspired in what that call is?

The Christian ideal is a vocation that calls us into ministry. Our ministry has been given to us as a gift. For all of us, our call to serve is different and is centered in the gifts we have been given and the passion with which we live them. It is, for all of us, a tool that centers us to a life filled with God's love. When we cherish and nurture our ministry, it inevitably leads us to fulfill the mission which we have been entrusted with. Our ministry leads us back to our com- munity, our church family. It is a call to service and a tremendous responsibility.

Being a Christian is a radical, challenging and sometimes frustrating thing. When I live out my call to ministry, it is easier to take the jumbled up things in my life and organize them into priorities. When I live my ministry, I recognize the radical call and the road that I must travel. Because my ministry becomes a gift to God, and therefore, a gift to others.

So, what is your ministry? To what have you been called? Whether it be a minister of the Word or Eucharist, the ministry of serving at the altar or lending your talents to music, social ministry, digital ministry or even a ministry that you would like to lead, say YES. Make the commitment of time and talent because this commitment is all part of the radical faith we are called to. May we live our ministry courageously, knowing that there is a place for us to be strengthened and encouraged. Every time you walk into St. Francis, we journey with you, your ministry becomes our ministry and we are all brought closer to God.

There are so many ways to get involved. Make today the day that you say to yourself: "I am ready to serve." Take the step into your ministry and you will find that it is much more than just being a volunteer, it is a gift that will bring you, and us, closer to God and each other. We are ready to welcome you!!!

Are you a millennial looking for a unique way to use your talents for the church? The fledgling DIGITAL MINISTRY at St. Francis de Sales is seeking people to become involved in making the message of Jesus and the work of the church more present online through videos, podcasts, and social media. Does this sound intriguing? We are seeking the digitally literate with a flair for creativity. Contact Bradley at [email protected] for more information.

Calling All Single Parents! We know you barely have time to breathe, what with everything you do for your family! We want to offer you a bit of time that's just for you! Time to de-stress and relax, time to talk with other single parents, time to pause, perhaps reflect on all that's good and pray for the strength to get through those tough moments. If this sounds like something you might want to be a part of, please contact Jayne as to your availability for a gathering. We can provide babysitting if that makes coming together easier. Talk with Jayne after Mass, during the week or drop an email: [email protected]. Looking forward to getting together with you soon. Feast of Pentecost On May 20 the Feast of Pentecost, we will rejoice in the Spirit being poured out all over our parish. At our 9 and 12:30 Masses we will welcome new little ones through the wa- ters of baptism. At 11am Mass we will cele- brate with our English speaking adults the completion of their initiation through Confir- mation and Eucharist, as well as those who are coming into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. To top it all off, we will celebrate with Fr. Kelly, his 25th anniver- sary of ordination to the priesthood. (yes, there will be cake!)

We have much to be grateful for. God is truly good, all the time!

Processional: Jesus Is The Light Refrain: Jesus is the light, light of the world! Jesus is the light, light of the world! Jesus is the light, light of the world! He’s ever shining in my soul

1. When darkness comes, don’t fret or cry, Just call on Jesus and do as I. He’ll free your soul, remove your sins. Just open up your heart and let the light shine in.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 103

Offertory: Can’t Nobody Do Me Like Jesus Can't nobody do me like like Jesus. Can't nobody do me like like the Lord. Can't nobody do me like like Jesus. He's my friend.

He picked me up and turned me around. He picked me up and turned me around. He picked me up and turned me around. He's my friend.

Healed my body, told me to run on Healed my body, told me to run on Healed my body, told me to run on He's my friend

Communion: Take And Eat Refrain: Take and eat, take and eat, this is my body given up for you. Take and drink, take and drink, this is my blood given up for you.

Meditation: Be Glorified!

Recessional: I Am On The Battlefield For My Lord! Refrain: I am on the battlefield for my Lord, I'm on the battlefield for my Lord; And I promised him that I would serve him till I die. I am on the battlefield for my Lord.

I was alone and idle, I was a sinner too, I heard a voice from heaven Say there is work to do, I took the Master's hand, and I joined the Christian band, I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. I left my friends and Bound for the Promised Land, The grace of God upon me, The Bible in my hand, In distant lands I trod, Crying sinner come to God, I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. Now when I met my Savior, I met Him with a smile, He healed my wounded Spirit, And owned me as his child, Around the throne of grace, He appoints my soul a place, I'm on the battlefield for my Lord.

CURIOUS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH-ADULT INITIATION You know we talk about RCIA all the time….we always want to make sure you know what that is…the RITE OF CHRIS- TIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS is simply put, the way folks with questions about the Catholic church learn about us and if they desire, how they become Catholic. It is the most amazing gift to be a part of someone’s faith journey. We have one of the few YEAR ROUND processes in the Archdiocese of NY. That means that anyone can begin their journey by coming to ask their questions at any point in the year. It also means that we always love to have parishioners join us, helping with hospi- tality and making strangers feel welcome on any Monday night. If you have cookies in your house that you know you should- n’t be eating…why not bring them by on a Monday night and stay for the conversation? If you like to bake or want to donate a case of water…come join us for prayer and some faith talk. Get to know our inquirers and let them learn about SFDS by meeting you. We gather at 7pm in the parish house and you (and your friend with questions about the Catholic church) are always welcome. ---COVER SHEET
