CONTINUING TO FURNISHING OUR FAITH HOME
We can't thank you all enough for your help in getting our kitchen equipment
up and running. The new space is so big that all the Knights fit in there
while doing their pancake breakfasts!
We do still have some additional needs that we are looking to raise money for.
These include chapel stained glass windows and pews, additional artwork,
and our campus landscaping.
God bless you all for your continued support as we make St. Francis a beautiful and welcoming place to worship, learn, and build community & fellowship.
