"You are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent—a season of reflection and preparation as we journey toward Christ's Resurrection on Easter.

Mass times can be found here: https://www.stfoafrisco.org/

We begin this sacred season by acknowledging our brokenness, mortality, and sin. The ashes serve as a powerful reminder that while our bodies may return to dust, our souls are called to eternal life.

Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes!

Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous, 14-year-old girl, in 1858 in Lourdes, France. She urged Bernadette to pray, do penance, and encourage others to come to the spring that had miraculously appeared. Many who visited the spring experienced physical and spiritual healing, and Lourdes became one of the most beloved pilgrimage sites in the world.

Beckett Gallutia, who has grown up at St. Francis, has a special connection to our church. The first place he drove after getting his license? St. Francis, of course! There was just one catch: the chapel was locked since it was after hours.

One of the key goals of our capital campaign is to build a 24/7 perpetual adoration chapel—something Beckett believes would have a profound impact on our community, especially for the youth seeking a closer connection with God.

More than 40 St. Francis youth, their families, and Respect Life ministry members attended this year’s NTX Rally For Life and Pro-Life Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Dallas on Saturday. They gathered with fellow Catholics from across the diocese to champion the sanctity of life in the womb; hear a powerful message from Bishop Burns about speaking the truth in love; and witness courageous testimony from post-abortive women and former abortion clinic workers whose hearts were healed and restored by the redeeming power of God’s mercy.

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord!

Each year on January 6 (moved to the nearest Sunday in most diocese), we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day. Epiphany is a holy day that celebrates the revelation of Jesus to three Wise Men (or Kings) when they arrived at His place of birth after following the unusual star in the sky. Often, we picture the Wise Men arriving on Christmas night and gathering around the manger of the newborn Jesus along with the shepherds, but in fact they arrived perhaps as much as two years later, which is why Epiphany is celebrated 12 days after Christmas. Although it is often neglected, Epiphany is a day with a long history and many beautiful traditions.
