Advent Giving Tree

Featured

This annual tradition at St. Francis parish of bringing Christmas cheer of our neighbors in need begins on today, November 30. Gift tags are placed on the Advent trees in St. Francis Church and at St. Romuald Chapel. The Giving Tree provides much needed support to our St. Vincent de Paul chapter here at St. Francis and to the Jonnycake Center which services local families providing basic necessities. This year with food insecurity reaching its highest level, there is a great need for gift cards from food stores ($25 increments preferable) The gift cards should be returned no later than the weekend of December 20/21. They can be placed in the collection baskets or brought to the parish office.

Our annual Advent Wreath Workshop has been a long tradition at St. Francis. This year we will host it from 10am - noon in the lower level of the church on Sunday, November 30th. What a wonderful way to begin your Advent Season and a great way to bring faith into your family life and encourage prayer at home! For those who would like to be inspired by the creativity of others, come on down and enjoy a morning of faith, fellowship and food! Cost is $15 per wreath. Checks can be made out to ‘St. Francis Church’. We will be selling Advent wreath kits at the chapel after the Mass on Sunday, November 30th for those who may not be able to get to the main church.
