Pastor's CornerHello Everyone!
I am back again after a little break, since we were all praying for the annual Bishop’s Appeal. Speaking of which I want to thank all of you for participating in the Bishop’s appeal last Sunday. The last couple of weeks have been rough for the Bishop’s Appeal to take off and finally we had the chance to cooperate with this effort. We all pray that our community will meet up the Goal for 2021. Bad weather also affected our fitting beginning of lenten observances such as Ash Wednesday, Stations of the cross and fish fry fundraising on Fridays. We are fully back to these activities beginning as this last Friday. All of you are welcomed to participate. I’ve heard that fish fry is a must and bilingual stations of the cross will be prayed outside with new crosses. Mr. Enrique is making sure the 14th crosses will be ready for next Friday along with the stands when mounted. Let’s keep in prayer our community and especially our sick bothers and sisters
I am grateful to announce that our Diocesan Bishop, his Excellency Bishop Strickland will be visiting our Northeast Deanery on March 5th at 10:00 am in Gilmer. I kindly invite as many of you to come and see our Diocean Bishop as his visit will be for an hour.
Father Cesar Betancourt
Parochial Administrator
St Francis of Assisi Church - GilmerHolaDe regreso otra vez después de un corto receso por cuenta de la Campana del Obispo para el 2021. Quiero agradecerles su colaboración con esta colecta diocesana para ayudar a los distintos ministerios de la diócesis de Tyler. El pasado domingo no vimos el cortometraje de la campaña del obispo por problemas técnicos y esperamos que todo salga bien este domingo. El mal tiempo también afecto el comienzo de la cuaresma con la celebración del Miércoles de Ceniza, el Viacrucis los viernes y la venta del pescado. Ya comenzamos la venta del pescado este pasado viernes lo mismo que el rezo del Viacrucis bilingüe afuera de la iglesia. Don Enrique esta haciendo las 14 cruces del Viacrucis. Escuché que el pescado es muy delicioso y por eso los esperamos para que participen de este encuentro de hermanos. Volvemos los ojos a Dios y lo bendecimos por este tiempo y oramos por nuestros hermanos y hermanas enfermosEstoy agradecido de anunciar que Nuestro obispo Diocesano, su Excelencia el Obispo Strickland, visitará nuestro decanato del noreste el 5 de Marzo a las 10:00 am en Gilmer. Los invito amablemente a muchos de ustedes a que vengan a ver a nuestro Obispo Diocesano, ya que está de visita por una hora.
