THE CHURCH OF ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI

Amid continuing uncertainty in relation to large indoor gatherings this year, we are offering just a couple of activities that people have enjoyed in the past and that we can do with very limited contact. 
We will once again be having our:
• BIG TICKET Raffle with $6700 in prizes,
• SILENT AUCTION  - to be held online this year
• our wonderful TURKEY DINNER donated by the Canadian Honker, Mexican Food (tamales or burritos) and Vietnamese Egg Rolls. All food orders are pre-order and take out ONLY.  Click HERE to order food!

We will be celebrating our patronal Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi with some newer traditions - including a 9-day Novena (Sept 25-Oct 4) to St. Francis’ intercessory power, asking him to pray for us, our parish and our world.  We will have a NEW St. Francis of Assisi Parish T-shirt for sale soon! And we will again have a ”virtual” choir singing the Prayer of St Francis, a Blessing of the Animals (both real and stuffed) at 10AM on Saturday, October 2 and a tri-lingual format at all the Masses the weekend of October 2 and 3.

Look for more information to come!

PARISH PICNIC.  Thank you to everyone who attended our parish picnic on Sunday.  It all came together – beautifully!  We have been so blessed to have celebrated our annual picnic once again.  A special “THANK YOU” to our Knights of Columbus for hosting the event.  It was a fun and blessed day!  To see pictures, click HERE.

2021 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL (CMA).  We are so grateful to the 149 parishioners that have already contributed $56,130 towards our 2021 goal of $50,145.  To make your CMA gift online, click HERE.  Thank you!

As always, 100% of the monies reached over our goal will be returned to the parish for designated projects: 1) refinishing pews and woodwork, 2) upgrading our sound system/wi-fi capabilities in our church. Please join us in being generous together in making our goal and going over to help with these much needed projects.  Let’s Share the Light of Hope together!
