Father Mike's Message - 12/11/2022

Welcome to Seminarian Will Sutherland to Borgia this weekend! Will is a seminary student from Kenrick-Glennon Seminary and is from the Archdiocese of Kansas City, KS. Will is going to speak to us at our Masses this weekend about the special collection for the Seminary that will be taken up at Christmas as we do every year. Welcome, Will, to St. Francis Borgia!

What a wonderful turnout for the Ladies Sodality Christmas Breakfast and Bazaar! Thank you to all who attended to support our Ladies Sodality. Thanks to all of the Sodality members who woke up extra early on Sunday morning to start rolling dough and baking cinnamon rolls for the rest of us! They were here at 3:30 a.m.! Wow! Thank you, Ladies Sodality!

Need a Christmas gift idea? Try our Shop & Earn program for gift cards. Every purchase of those goes to support our school. Check out the many choices of stores who participate in our Shop & Earn program.  Thank you for your support.

On Wednesday, December 14th, OLL and SFB Parishes are sponsoring Advent by Taillight for the men of our parishes.  The evening begins at 7:30 p.m. and will take place on the lot at the KC Hall. Dress for the weather and bring your fire pit (if you can) and whatever you like to drink (or you can purchase drinks from the KC lounge). Get more information about the event here.

On Tuesday, December 20th we will host our Combined Parish Penance Service with Lourdes.  Priests will be available here at St. Francis Borgia Church after our 6:30 p.m. Mass.  Another great way to help us prepare for Christmas!

Don’t forget our Grade School Christmas raffle. Tickets are available from any school family or call the parish or school office. You can also find a link to purchase them here: https://bit.ly/PayIt_2022CmasCashRaffle.   The final drawing will be on December 20th.
