The Knights of Columbus Council 15240 of St. Francis of Assisi Parish cordially invite parish men as we present the Into the Breach Video Series in 6 sessions (two videos per session). Each video stands on its own and it is not necessary to have viewed previous videos.

The videos average approximately 10 to 12 minutes each and are followed by 20 minutes of group discussion and fellowship.

We ask only for one hour of your time to fulfill our (ours and yours) mission of evangelization that Jesus tells us to do.

“And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land…” (Ezekiel 22:30)

“The foundations from ages past you shall raise up;

“Repairer of the Breach,” they shall call… (Isaiah 58 :12)

      “…closing up the breach of the City of David, his father.” (1 Kings 11:27)

In 2015, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted issued a challenge to the men of his diocese to step into the breach. His exhortation, Into the Breach: An Apostolic Exhortation to Catholic Men, identifies the crisis of faith facing the Church today and presents a vision of the role of Catholic men in combatting it.

Inspired by Bishop Olmsted’s vision, the Knights of Columbus and the Diocese of Phoenix have joined together to produce a 12-episode video series, also titled Into the Breach.

Through our baptism, we, disciples of Christ, understand that our vocation is to follow and imitate HIM, who calls us by name. As Christ’s beloved disciples, we are trusted to share HIS love and words with the world. Everything we have is trusted to us to share, so the world knows we are Christians by our love and service.

We, disciples, are invited to be food for others, as Jesus is in the Eucharist. By sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure, we witness the spiritual nourishment of the Eucharist.

This year’s Archbishop’s Appeal for Ministries invitations to participate will arrive in the mail in a few weeks. Please, check your mail and look for this letter from the Archdiocese. Discern in prayer with your family your participation in this year’s appeal. Our parish goal is full participation. Any gift, any amount will make a difference in somebody’s life.

Gifts can be given online at www.archsa.org/archbishops-appeal. Please make sure to indicate that you are giving from St. Francis of Assisi San Antonio.

May our participation in the Holy Eucharist continue to send us forth to serve those near and far.

A través de nuestro bautismo, nosotros, discípulos de Cristo, entendemos que nuestra vocación es seguir e imitar a EL, quien nos llama por nuestro nombre. Como discípulos de Cristo, se nos confía compartir SU palabra y amor con el mundo. Se nos invita a compartir y servir, dando así testimonio de que somos cristianos.

Nosotros, discípulos, estamos invitados a ser alimento para los demás, como lo es Jesús en la Eucaristía. Al compartir nuestro Tiempo, Talento y Tesoro, somos testigos del alimento espiritual que es la Eucaristía. “El recibir la Eucaristía, nos lanza a servir,” es el tema de la Campaña del Arzobispo para los Ministerios.

La invitación para participa en la Campaña del Arzobispo para Ministros de este año llegarán por correo pronto a su casa. Por favor, este atento y busque esta carta de la Arquidiócesis. Discierna en oración y en familia su participación. Nuestra meta parroquial para esta campaña sigue siendo la completa participación de todos los miembros de nuestra parroquia.
