T he annual Charity and Development Appeal (CDA) provides critical funding to over 70 programs and organizations across the Diocese. The CDA serves the

basic needs of our large and fast growing community beyond what any one parish or community can do alone. Together we can achieve more. For example: $27.50 can provide a monthly bus pass to someone who is

newly employed. $43 can feed a family of 4 for a week. $150 can provide a scholarship for an engaged couple to attend

a Natural Family Planning course. Every gift is important, no matter what the size. For more information or to donate online, visit diocesephoenix.org/cda. Thank you for your support.

L a Campaña Anual de Caridad y Desarrollo provee fondos críticos a más de 70 programas y organizaciones a través de la Diócesis. El CDA sirve a las necesidades básicas de

nuestra creciente y grande comunidad más allá de lo que una parroquia o comunidad pueden hacer solos. Juntos podemos lograr más. Por ejemplo: $27.50 puede proveer un pase de autobús de un mes a una

persona recién empleada. $43 puede alimentar a una familia de 4 por una semana. $150 puede proveer una beca a una pareja comprometida para

que asistan a un curso de Planificación Natural de la Familia.

Cada donación es importante, no importe la cantidad. Para más información o para hacer su donación en línea, visite diocesephoenix.org/cda. Gracias por su apoyo.

FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

The New Parish Hall is proceeding at a wonderful pace... As we get further down the road it will be necessary to close access to the East entrance of the church. This is to prepare for the work closest to the existing church that includes covered arcades. This work is expected to begin on February 21, 2015 and will continue until construction is complete in October 2015. This means that for our parishioners and friends who enjoy parking in the North lot, there will be no access to the East doors. Our parishioners and visitors who park in this area will need to walk around the construction zone to the main entrance of the church. For those who do not mind the brief walk, there are Jersey barriers that provide a very narrow pedestrian walkway for safety. For those who would like a short ride we will be providing golf carts for your convenience. During construction, we are respectfully requesting that our parishioners plan ahead and park in the parish parking area that is best for you. We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience during construction. The improvements planned for St. Francis will be worth the wait.

El nuevo salón parroquial está avanzando a un ritmo maravilloso ... Al continuar con el progreso de la construcción será necesario cerrar el acceso a la entrada este de la iglesia. Esto es para prepararse para el trabajo más cercano a la iglesia que incluye galerías cubiertas. Se espera que esta obra comience el 21 de febrero 2015 y continúe hasta que se complete la construcción en octubre de 2015. Esto significa que para nuestros feligreses y amigos que disfrutan de estacionamiento en el lado Norte, no tendrán acceso para las puertas del Este. Nuestros feligreses y visitantes que se estacionan en esta área tendrán que caminar alrededor de la zona de construcción a la entrada principal de la iglesia. Para aquellos que les gustaría un corto paseo, estaremos proporcionando carros de golf para su conveniencia. Durante la construcción, estamos solicitando respetuosamente que nuestros feligreses planeen para el futuro y estacionen en el área de estacionamiento de la parroquia que les sea más conveniente y le agradecemos su paciencia durante la construcción. Pedimos disculpas por las molestias. Las mejoras previstas para San Francisco valdrán la pena la espera.
