Faith Formation

WELCOME OUR NEW YOUTH COORDINATOR!
My name is Allie Brown and I have been a member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church for 30 years. I was baptized at the small church off Cassville Road and married in the new sanctuary by Father Juan on October 14, 2014.
My husband, Zach, and I have been married for almost 5 years and we have 3 wonderful little boys. Twins, Brady and Isaac who are 4 years old and Max who is 2.

I am a graduate of Cartersville High School and attended the Catholic University of America on a soccer scholarship in Washington DC.

Our family has just returned from a 6 month mission trip in Liberia, West Africa. I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with the youth in our church.
I pray that their hearts and minds can be opened to the precious love of Jesus Christ.

We are starting a new year in September!
We will have four classes this year: preschool, K-1st, and 2nd and up. We meet on Tuesdays for classes and then First Fridays (September through May). Please see our website. Go to the church's website, click on 'Ministries for Youth', click on 'Homeschool'.
Also, we will be doing Community Outreach and visiting local nursing homes. The first nursing home has a special need for:
grippy socks
big boxes of tissue/Kleenex
costume jewelry and
birdseed
If you would be able to help us collect these items, there will be a box in La Salette Hall labeled NURSING HOME. Thank you for your support!
