Our quilting group continues to make protective masks for those in need of them. They are also selling some of their masks, and the proceeds are going to the Canby Food Bank, and St. Francis is matching their gift.

We regret, due to concerns about the coronavirus, that the lovely Memorial Garden Remembrance Day has been postponed to a later date from its scheduled date of June 7.
The Oregon Episcopal School is offering many day camps
throughout the summer for young people in grades K-12, both whole and half day sessions. These offer many subject options - arts, crafts, food preparation, Legos, music, photography ,sports, river running, Minecraft, and many, many more.
They all sound wonderful! For our young people who are interested there are small scholarships to defray the cost available from the Caring Fund. Please contact Fr. Brendan or Jane Domagalski for more information.

St. Francis COVID-19 Relief Fund
Our vestry approved the creation of a St. Francis COVID-19 Relief Fund, which will be used to provide additional financial assistance to organizations and individuals within our community. Our MDE committee has made contributions to the food banks in Wilsonville and Canby. But, with the need growing, the vestry discerned that we should set up an additional fund.
If you would like to contribute to this work, you can send a check to St. Francis, and in the memo line please note that the funds are for the COVID-19 Relief Fund. Our address is St. Francis of Assisi, PO Box 445, Wilsonville, OR 97070.
Or you, can make a contribution online to our PayPal account through the link above. PayPal does not offer a memo line; so simply email us to let us know if you have made a PayPal contribution for the COVID-19 Relief Fund. You can email us at
saintfranciswilsonville@gmail.com

BE SURE TO HIT SAVE BEFORE EXITING.
The children and others are filling their Mite Boxes during Lent to raise funds for the Heifer Project.
This organization provides animals to families in Third World countries as a way to earn a living. With the money last year we were able to donate a hive of bees-- where families could use the honey, sell it, and use the bees for increased pollination on crops.
We also donated a flock of ducks –to be used for their eggs, and a help in keeping down insects on crops. We are wishing to donate a goat this year if we raise enough. Adults are invited to help with the Mite Boxes also!!
We will be gathering them in when we have our first celebratory Sunday together again in the sanctuary.
We are of course all together all the time now.
