Parish Life


THANKSGIVING BAKE SALE : St Francis of Assisi Council of Catholic Women (CCW) will be hosting our annual Thanksgiving Bake sale after all masses on Nov 23 & 24th. Come purchase a delectable treat for your guests & reduce the stress of the holidays.   All women of St Francis are encouraged to bake an item & drop off in the Parish Hall before mass to support the sale or at the church prior to the sale.   Proceeds will be used to support families in need during the holidays and other giving programs throughout the year.  We can't do this wonderful event without your support.



Imagine you and your children enjoying the summer playing after work with their friends. Fun times.  Now imagine school starts in September and you are laid off from work for being late because you have to put your children on the school bus before you can go to work. Late 15-30 minutes and you lose your job. Now the struggles begin. Bills start to back up as you look for work. You are interviewing but need to have something that allows you to be there when the children go to school. You are to the point of selling your car to make this months rent and pawning your TV to pay the electric bill, which had been exceptionally high last month due to the hot weather. You've asked your family and friends to help, and you are still coming up short.  Your latest interview went well and it looks like the new job is getting to be a reality.  But, that first paycheck won't come for a few more weeks. What do you do?
These are the types of situations that SVdP is called on to assist.  We help with the rent, utilities, and food. This is how your contributions are aiding our community.
Thanks again for contributing to the SVdP monthly collection. Thank you for your continued prayers for all those families that are touched by your generosity. Your generosity enables our ministry here at St Francis of Assisi to continue.
This month we are in need of soups, jelly, cereal and canned tuna / chicken. Please place them in the red wagon  as you enter the church.
