We Welcome You

A Place to Call Home
Dear Friend,
Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi.
Whatever brings you here today— if you are seeking a new church home or have been away from church for a long time— we are blessed to have you worship with us.

We hope you will explore our vibrant parish.
To give you but a few examples of the uniqueness of St. Francis, we have over 400 volunteers participating in 50 ministries. Our parishioners travel to St. Francis from 100+ zip codes, some traveling 60 miles or more to participate in our liturgies. It is clear they have found something that speaks to them. Our church is as joyful, meaningful, and responsive as the committed parishioners at its heart.

Please let me, the ushers, staff, or your pew mates know how we can help you learn more about St. Francis—and if the Spirit moves you, how to become a member.

Peace and Blessings,
Fr. Anthony Garibaldi, ofm

Go Out in the World

outstretched arms Is the Lord in our midst? In the Fourth Sunday of Lent Gospel reading, Jesus tells the Pharisees, "But you say, 'We see,' and so your sin remains." In what areas of our lives are we wearing blinders yet thinking that we see? This week ask God to reveal to you your areas of blindness, and then ask for help in overcoming them.
