Incident Management Team (IMT)
Medical and Security Members Needed
The St. Francis Incident Management Team (IMT) is in
need of additional trained medical persons
willing to assist parishioners at Mass who
may require some level of medical assistance.
Current IMT members are trained to provide Come to Chick-Fil-A on Garden of the Gods. 10% of the
basic first responder assistance and to call for proceeds goes to Scout Troop 366. Thank you!
emergency medical backup if warranted;
however that training is limited in scope and
it would be beneficial if we had medically qualified
members on the team who could assist when needed.
Further, IMT members also help ensure the
safety of parishioners and guests during
Mass. First aid, medical, military or para-
military experience is a definite plus. The
purpose of the Team is to help fulfill the
vision statement associated with the Team’s
formation that states: St. Francis Parish
will provide a welcoming and safe environment in which
parishioners, staff and guests can peacefully worship,
minister and socialize.
There are some qualifications required to be a Team
member. If you are interested in this important ministry
please contact Fran Pitaro at fran.pitaro@gmail.com or
719-375-5018 for more info or Father Ken.
We all pray that there is never a need for any type of
emergency response, but we would be remiss if not
prepared for such an event so please prayerfully
consider volunteering with us.
Volunteers needed!

Wisdom of the Saints Imitate St. Joseph;
“The Church is like a great ship Defend Jesus, the Holy
being pounded by the waves of
life’s different stresses. Our duty Church, and the Pope,
is not to abandon ship, but to according to your abilities.
keep her on her course.”
- St. Boniface (April 14, St. Maximilian Kolbe)
Graces derived from Assisting at Mass from page 28
1. The Mass is Calvary continued.
2. Every Mass is worth as much as the sacrifice of Our Lord’s life, sufferings and death.
3. Holy Mass is the most powerful atonement for your sins.
4. At the hour of death, the Masses you have heard will be your greatest consolation.
5. Every Mass will go with you to judgment and plead for pardon.
6. At Mass, you can dimmish, more or less, temporal punishment due to your sins,
according to your fervor.
7. Assisting devoutly at Holy Mass, you render to the sacred humanity of our Lord the greatest homage.
8. He supplies for many of your negligences and omissions.
9. He forgives the venial sins which you have not confessed. The power of Satan over you is diminished.
10. You afford the souls in purgatory the greatest possible relief.
11. One Mass heard during your life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your
death.
12. You are preserved from dangers and misfortunes which otherwise might have befallen you. You
shorten your purgatory.
13. Every Mass wins for you a higher degree of glory in heaven.
14. You receive the priest’s blessing, which Our Lord ratifies in heaven.
15. You kneel amidst a multitude of holy angels who are present at the adorable Sacrifice with reverential
awe.
16. You are blessed in your temporal goods and affairs. In eternity, we shall fully realize that it was
certainly worthwhile to have assisted at holy Mass daily.
Pray for the priests that they may offer the Mass with holy love and reverence.
First Class Relic of Saint Francis of Assisi You may have noticed the new display box on the wall by the statue of Saint Francis in the Narthex. This display contains a First Class Relic of a bone of Saint Francis. The box, built by Bill Schlittler, houses the Relic, gifted to us by Sister Dorothy. We are thankful for this treasure! This new “presence” of Francis in our midst awakens us to his spirituality, his recognition of the Christ in our world, his tender care toward all of creation—and calls us to embrace the same. Francis invites us to see nature as a magni«°cent book in which God speaks to us and grants us a glimpse of his in«°nite beauty and goodness. We echo the words of Pope Francis from Laudato Si’ addressed to every person on this planet: “I urgently appeal for a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet . . . I want to recognize, encourage and thank all those striving in countless ways to guarantee the protection of the home which we share.” . . . (LS 12—14).
