Welcome Team
Breakfast MinistryJoin a fun group of folks who like to extend a warm St. Francis welcome by hosting a Welcome Brunch for newcomers and new parishioners three times a year. What's involved? You'd bring a potluck dish to share and help with set up, clean up and hospitality during the brunch. Attendance at planning meetings is not required, though it's always a good time! If you'd like to be part of this ministry, please contact Barbara Bucher (membership@stfrancisparish.com or 443-8084 x101).

Companions Needed!
Garden ToolsWhat Being a Companion Has Meant to Me

"'For it is in giving we receive' perfectly describes how being an RCIA sponsor has enriched my life. While leading a candidate on his/her faith journey, my faith and prayer life grew; I looked forward to the Bible study and church history lessons; and I met wonderful people along the way." — Sharon

"Helping others find their faith has it rewards. We expand our faith-based friendships and grow in the process. — Bill

Our parish mission statement challenges us to be a people of welcome and hospitality. The RCIA companion program here at St. Francis reflects that Franciscan spirit. Come open your heart and be a part of this important ministry! We need YOU!

No experience necessary—no need to be a theologian. We meet the first and second Thursday evenings of each month. More info: Jan Bard (janetbard@gmail.com or 690-0735) or Sr. Peggy (443-8084 x103 or PeggyC@stfrancisparish.com).
