Fr. Luke's Weekly Message
A SPECIAL THANK YOU FROM THE FRANCISCANS
To Everyone who came to our Open House on the Feast of Saint Francis,
It was a pleasure to see all of you on the Feast of St. Francis and we appreciate the time you spent with us sharing your company. All of us Franciscans feel a connection with you, not just the friars who minister in the parishes of Our Lady of Grace and Transfiguration, but all of us at St. Joseph of Cupertino Friary. Hopefully, this will not be the last time we get together and enjoy each other's company.
Pax et Bonum
The Franciscans of St. Joseph Cupertino Friary
-Fr. Paul Fazio
Guardian Saint Francis Friary
We're Still Taking Registrations!
The deadline has been extended to October 12th. We hope to see many of you at the Retreat!

ELECTRONIC GIVING
For your convenience and to support faithful weekly giving, Our Lady of Grace Parish offers you the opportunity to contribute to the Church using your credit card as well as automatic payments from your checking or savings account. You control the frequency of your giving and you may print reports at any time. These options are safe, secure and convenient. You can easily access and set up your giving choice here on our website through Online Giving.
TEXT TO GIVE
We now offer Text to Give--text the dollar amount you would like to give to 510-513-4597. For example, if you wanted to donate $45, you would text 45 to 510-513-4597. When you use text to give for the first time, you will need to set up an account with your phone number.
BEWARE OF EMAIL & TEXT SCAMS
PHISHING is an attack that attempts to steal your money, or your identity, by getting you to reveal personal information--such as credit card numbers, bank information, or passwords. Cybercriminals typically pretend to be reputable companies, friends, or acquaintances in a fake message, which contains a link to a phishing website.
OLG would NEVER solicit funds through any electronic means. If you do receive one of these texts or emails and are unsure, DO NOT OPEN IT and report these to Jay at 510-537-0806. God Bless and be safe!
