Spirituality With A View 
Greetings!

We are grateful for all the people who make St. Francis of Assisi a vibrant community of Intentional Disciples. We are blessed with generous parishioners, both full-time and seasonal, who share their talents and their financial gifts to help us achieve so much.

This month we invite you to watch two short videos that we have added to our website to demonstrate our Parish in Action.

First, please enjoy the video that was shown at all Masses during Discipleship Weekend in July. It illustrates all that we achieved during our Fiscal Year 2018-2019 and is now also posted to our website on the Vision/Mission page. We could not have done it without YOU!

Second is an edited version of Father Bill filmed by Sunday-to-Sunday when they visited us last summer. View here or at the bottom of the home page of our website. This video is also featured this month in the online version of America Magazine, the Jesuit Review (on theunder the video tab, scroll down). If you did not see the full-length version, it is well worth it and can be found on SundaytoSunday.net.

Ministries are still growing at St. Francis. For an update on our newest ministry, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, please see below.

Blessings,
CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
"At that time Jesus said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to little children."
Matthew 11: 25
On July 29 through August 4, ten adults gathered for a week long formation in how to listen to God with children. 

Forty-five hours into a ninety-hour course (one week this summer; one week next summer), their days were a combination of theology, practicum, and material-making. 
Topic and activities included:

  • Theological lectures on the History of Salvation, the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God, and the Eucharistic Presence
  • Learning about the inherent spiritual and developmental characteristics of three to six-year-old children
  • Creating model altars, dioramas and three-dimensional figures

This course is preparing adults to welcome our youngest children and to help parents nurture the religious potential of their children. 

Registration for three to six-year old children will start on August 12 for the upcoming school year. To receive a registration form by e-mail, please click here .
