#SFDS_NYC New Parishioners Please register online @ sfdsnyc.org or pick up a registration form after mass. Reg- istration helps us to serve you more efficiently, especially in matters such as testi- monial letters, sponsor certificates and school registration. WELCOME! WEBSITE: WWW.SFDSNYC.ORG

Tithe.ly

We have learned about a company called “TITHE-LY” and we want you to know that we are switching to this new company. These are the reasons for the switch: Tithe-ly is:

1. More user friendly on both the donor’s end and the parish’s end. 2. Rates charged to parish for contributions is much less, 2.9% with Tithe-ly as compared to 4.1% with WeShare. 3. Ability to access your financial giving history for tax purposed with greater ease.

As we mentioned already here in the bulletin, we have certainly heard, (and experienced ourselves!!) that WeShare has been a less than optimal giving platform for our parish. Not surprisingly, it may not be as easy as we'd like for you to take yourself OFF WeShare, should you be ready to join us in our new Tithe-ly program.

Hospitality Plus!

We are in need of volunteers on Monday evenings (7pm) to help set up a welcoming table for our initiation meetings with our catechumens and inquirers. If you like to bake, or buy cookies/snacks…if you would like to get to know some new parishion- ers, if you are outgoing and extroverted…we would love to have your help with hospitality. Speak with Jayne for more details. If you would like to know more about other ways to participate in welcoming new parishioners, in English or in Spanish, we are always looking for new team members. Please speak with Jayne or Martha, or email us at [email protected] or [email protected].

Digital Ministry

We are called to spread the Word. In the twenty-first century, the Word is online! As part of our dig- ital ministry, there are roles for you in the following capacities:

SOCIAL MEDIA: We meet monthly to plan the social media calendar and generate posts for our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts.

CONTENT: Are you creative? Interested in getting to know fellow parishioners? We are always in need of written content for the blog, event summaries, upcoming events descriptions, and parishioner spotlights as well as photographs.

AUDIO (recording the homily on Sundays at the 11am and 12:30pm Masses): Help get our message out to the world! Technical expertise (or enthusiasm for those who aren't tech- savvy) welcome. Step-by-step training is provided. A minimal time commitment is required after mass to edit/upload recordings.

Contact [email protected] to discuss how you can share your creative skills and enthusiasm through Digital Ministry!

Music Ministry News

Hello St. Francis,

As you may have noticed, we have some beautiful new choir chairs that are debuting this week. This is both very im- pressive that your perception is so keen, but, could have only been assisted by the fact that not all of the chairs are be- ing occupied by members of the Music Ministry. With this in mind, the Music Ministry would like to invite you to give these new, beautiful and incredibly comfortable chairs a try. All that is required of you is a willingness to pray through song with us at Mass. These custom chairs will fit the contours of both singers and instrumentalists and are ready and waiting just for you!!! The summer is the perfect time to give it a shot. During these summer months we have a very casual pick up/ come when you can choir at the 11am Mass. So, in the words of the icon, Mr. Rodgers, "Will you be mine, won't you be mine, won't you be my choir...with new chairs!!!"

CURIOSO SOBRE LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA-RITO DE LA INICIACIÓN DE ADULTOS

Usted sabe que hablamos de RICA todo el tiempo .... Siempre queremos asegurarnos de que usted sepa qué es eso ... El RITO DE INI- CIACIÓN CRISTIANA PARA ADULTOS simplemente es, la forma en que las personas con preguntas sobre la iglesia católica aprenden sobre la iglesia catolica y si lo desean cómo convertirse al catolicismo. Es el regalo más increíble para ser parte del camino de la fe de alguien. Tenemos uno de los pocos procesos durante todo el AÑO en el Archidiócesis de Nueva York. Eso significa que cualquiera puede comenzar su viaje llegando a hacer sus preguntas en cualquier momento del año. También significa que siempre nos encanta que los feligreses se unan a nosotros, ayudándonos con la hospitalidad y haciendo que los desconocidos se sientan bienvenidos los lunes por la noche. Si tienes galletas en tu casa que sabes que no deberías comer ... ¿por qué no las traes un lunes por la noche y te quedas a conversar? Si te gusta hornear o quieres donar una caja de agua ... únete a nosotros para orar y hablar sobre la fe. Conozca a nuestros candidatos y déjelos aprender sobre SFDS encontrándose con usted. Nos reunimos a las 7pm en la casa parroquial y usted (y su amigo con preguntas sobre la iglesia católica) siempre son bienvenidos. Por favor, hable con Jayne o Martha, o envíenos un correo electrónico a [email protected] o [email protected].

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 CHRISTIAN 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 Catho- lic. 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 hospitality and making strangers feel welcome on any Monday night. If you have cookies in your house that you know you shouldn’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.
