SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Several parishioners and local businesses have asked Father Raphael, or members of Parish Council, whether the Facebook group “Friends with a Devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes” is acting on behalf of our Parish. To clarify, this group has no affiliation with the Church of St. Francis de Sales. They are an independent group organizing fundraising to purchase and preserve the Allaben Church, which was decommissioned by the Archdiocese in 2006. Currently, the Allaben church is not for sale. While this is the first church built in our parish (1879), it is not the oldest Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in the U.S. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Fr. Raphael or Pat Ruane (688-5357).

Sunday, April 28This letter to the Philippians is one of the loveliest letters that Paul wrote. The community at Philippi seems to be a favorite one and Paul writes to them with great joy and longing to be with them. This letter is a very intimately personal one, filled with affection and happiness. Here Paul is not responding to questions sent to him from the Philippians but is writing to express his gratitude and joy. Also contained in this letter is the famous Christological hymn where Paul describes Christ as emptying himself to be one with us, a high point in his theology. “Rejoice” is repeated over and over. Come and join us for a lively discussion of this letter! After the 10:00 am Mass in the Rectory.Read More
