Guardian Angels Program Registration Now Open!
St. Francis of Assisi's Faith Formation program welcomes children of every ability to discover our faith and build a relationship with the Lord. This can be challenging for children with special needs so two years ago, we started our Guardian Angels Program to help catechize our children who need some extra attention and care. We also help prepare them to celebrate a sacramental life in community with our entire parish. Additionally, this is an opportunity for parents to gather for support, prayer, and community while their children are in class. If you are the parent or friend of a child with special challenges, please consider enrolling in our Guardian Angels Program (GAP)! Registration is now available. For more information about registration or this program, please contact Kristy Mitchell at 770-324-9834 or [email protected] or come visit Amy Toft at the Faith Formation office for more information and registration forms.

St. Francis of Assisi Church wishes you safe travels!
If you are traveling this summer, have fun, be safe and check out the local parish. Send me an email about what you liked or didn't like. I really appreciate your input! I encourage you to be generous to the churches you attend while traveling. Summer is tough for churches, with so many members taking much needed vacations. There is a substantial downturn in giving. So, if you have not already done so, please consider signing up at
stfac.org
for recurring giving. It's fast, it's simple, and it really helps us spread the Gospel during the summer months.
All women of St Francis are invited to attend. For questions and to coordinate car pools to Peachtree City, please contact Lynn Anderson at 404-931-5103.
