Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
During the beginning of our most recent Reimagining Church meeting, we were asked to identify a difficult experience as well as an experience that was a light in our life.  The latter example was easy.  Putting the annual report together is always a labor of insight, energy, and love.  (If you have not seen the annual report yet, check it out here.)  Given the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, the divisions within our society, and the small size of the St. Francis parish, the annual report offers hope and encouragement, as well as underscoring Margaret Mead’s observation:  a few committed individuals can change the world.
