She graduated with high honors and a teaching certificate. When the House of Providence Orphanage closed, her bishop asked her, along with six other women from her orphanage in Cadagono, to found the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart to care for the poor children in both schools and hospitals. Frances composed the Rule and Constitution for the religious institute. Frances has two miracles attributed to her. She restored sight to a child who was believed to have been blinded by excess silver nitrate, and she healed a terminally ill member of her congregation.

7 Religious Education Message Upcoming Calendar: Sunday, November 18, Class at 10am in Church; Mass begins at 11am. Students can be picked up at 11:45am from the Church No Class Tuesday, November 20th Tuesday, November 27, Regular Class Session 6:00pm - 7:00pm (School Building) Tuesday, December 4, Regular Class Session 6:00pm - 7:00pm (School Building) NATIONAL VOCATION AWARENESS Prayers for the Faithful For young people in our community that they may respond generously with open hearts and willing spirits if the Lord calls them to the priesthood, diaconate, or consecrated life. We pray to the Lord No Class Tuesday, December 11th THE CALL TO DISCIPLESHIP The core vocation in the Gospel of Mark is the vocation, or call, to discipleship. Today's Gospel passage provides us with one last example of what the vocation to discipleship means, and one example of what it doesn't mean. A destitute widow shows us that discipleship means following Jesus' way of service, even if it requires giving one's livelihood (or life). The scribes show us by their bad example that discipleship should entail a vocation to extend God's care to those who are most in need. In our reading from the book of Kings another widow and her son are close to death. They too give what little they have, but they are rewarded by Elijah with food enough for a year. And the reading from the Letter to the Hebrews reminds us that Jesus sacrificed his life "to bring salvation to those who eagerly await him"(hebrews 9:28). Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
