CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL: Thank you for filling out a Catholic Services Appeal envelope. For those who did not fill one out, please consider doing so. There are envelopes in the back of church. No gift is too small, and our parish is trying to reach 100% participation. By making your gift you can save a volunteer from having to call you. There are many challenges that face us today, the shortage of priests is one such challenge. Thus far, 104 families have donated. Our assessment this year is $65,299.84. Please join other Catholics from within the 16 counties of our diocese in supporting this very important appeal.
ARE YOU ATTENDING MASS AT ST. FRANCIS and not registered as a member of the parish? Here’s your opportunity to join our parish family. An information table will be set up in the back of church the weekends of November 16-17 and 23-24. Parishioners from the Evangelization Committee will be present to answer any questions. The registration forms, one for each member of the family, are very easy to complete.
