Art And Wine Thank You!
Thank you St. Francis! We so appreciate everyone’s help and enthusiastic support to make the Art and Wine event such a wonderful night. The decorations, wine donations, kitchen help, auction items, art, and ticket sales made the night a success. But really, when it comes down to it, it is you, the parishioners and your friends who came to eat, drink, bid on auction items, listen to music, and share fellowship that made the event a beautiful night to remember. The event grossed $14,000. We are all blessed to be a part of the St. Francis family and to worship and fellowship together. Thanks again! Jennifer and Alex Sams
