"One Family Living in Community"

 

Supporting the mission of the Catholic Community of St. Francis of Assisi, the Community Life Ministry empowers us to be one family, living in community, confronted, challenged, and comforted by the Word of God, reaching out to all persons and their families.

 

We promise to inspire opportunities, offer support, encourage participation, and safeguard the environment as we build our family in community.  We enable our community to renew the spirit within, maintain the physical body, and grow the mind as we enjoy the quality recreational, educational and spiritual activities within our exceptional facilities and grounds.

 

We welcome with joy all those who come to us and invite them into the life of our community.
