Parish-Wide Programs
Parish-wide programs at St. Francis are large-group-type experiences that can be grouped into two general categories: parish/local programs (either at St. Francis or at nearby parishes and locations) or other programs of interest (regional or national programs that may be of interest to parishioners).

Parish/Local Programs
Kingdom Builders inspires women to discover their unique design through laughter, learning, and love of the Father, revealing their path to peace and joy. Women gather each month for 90 minutes to hear a sound Teaching that is relevant and applicable to any woman’s life. The Teachings are humorous, deep and inspiring with real-life applications for living the faith. Teachings are followed by a time to love and be loved by Jesus during Adoration, including praise and planning. Kingdom Builders encourages women to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to set goals for physical health, family dynamics, holy friendships, strong marriages and more. These are ALL part of what St. John Paul II referred to as our Feminine Genius. This is an invitation for God’s beloved daughters to take the time to be loved and transformed by their Heavenly Father. Meetings are usually held the Fourth Wednesday of the Month, 7:00-8:30 pm, at St. Louis Church. Sponsored by the Ministry of St. Francis and St. Louis Catholic Church.

The Sacred Triduum: A Celebration of Darkness and Light!
Saint Francis of Assisi Parish provided three video reflections on the Triduum or “Three Days” and the significance of the symbols and rituals that shape the Paschal Mystery. The videos focused on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday/Easter and are between 9 and 13 minutes long. They are posted on the SFA Youtube channel and can be accessed through this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIrJcAJ4p4S5a5K4xTyBXkZdpj9kTI8CN . Let’s reflect on the Triduum and connect the Jesus story to our story. The reflections are given by Drs. Bob and Maggie McCarty of the SFA Adult Faith Formation Team.
