  • 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.
