March 7th

On behalf of all the parishioners of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, we joyfully wish Father Daniel a very Happy Birthday!

Father, you truly embody the mission of our parish:

“Celebrating community and cultural diversity, striving to treat everyone as our neighbor, all with the help of the power, love and grace of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

Through your guidance, kindness and faithful service, you help bring this mission to life each day within our parish family. We are grateful for your leadership, your compassion, and many ways you shepherd our community in faith.

Father, we hope your birthday is as wonderful and inspiring as you are to all of us. May God continue to bless you with Good Health, Joy, and Many years of ministry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATHER DANIEL!

There will be a special collection March 14-15, 2026 for The Catholic Relief Services. Your donation will provide humanitarian aid and advocating on behalf of victims. Please be generous in your support.

Please join us at Blessed Seelos on March 19, 2026, 6:00 PM for a Penance service. This service is to bring us together as a parish community to reflect on repentance and turn back to God. The service begins with prayers, hymns and a brief examination of conscience to help prepare for confession. There will be two priest present to hear your confession privately. If time permits, we will have Evening Prayer and Benediction.

This past Sunday, our parish was blessed to witness the Rite of Election of our catechumens during Mass. After much prayer, study, and spiritual preparation, they took this joyful step forward in faith, surrounded by a supportive and loving community. Their openness to God’s call and their desire to walk more deeply in Christ’s light were a powerful reminder to all of us of the grace and renewal found within the Church. We rejoice with them and continue to keep them in our prayers as they grow in faith and discipleship.

We are in need of volunteers to help with our food sales during the 11am Mass. The food is already cooked. Volunteers simply stand in and serve for about an hour so our Hispanic community members can attend Mass. Your time and support make a big difference. Thank you for helping us serve one another in love and community.

A note from Fr. Daniel: Last weekend was the start of the 2026 Catholic Sharing Appeal with the theme of “This is the Hour for Love.” Bishop Kihneman invites each of us to help through our prayerful and financial support of this year’s appeal. I would like to achieve a 100% participation for our parish! Please consider giving a generous gift to this year’s Catholic Sharing Appeal.
