Remember when we were kids, we celebrate by having Easter eggs hunts, dying Easter eggs, coloring Easter egg pictures and having a big family meals of ham, sweet potatoes and stuff! And, please don’t forget about the Easter Bunny Chocolate!
As we get older, we forget the true meaning of this holiday – which is when Jesus Christ is risen from the dead and we proclaim that by saying Alleluia a lot of times!
Easter is also a time of reflection! A time to ask Him to renew our hope, not despair; faith, not injustice, togetherness, not isolation; and, most of all, His love, not hatred!
My friends, we’ve been through a lot this year, but we’ve made it through with the help of God! All things are possible with Him and we must remember that!
Love,
Joey Dorr

Pastor’s Desk – October 2023
St Francis has shaken off the mood of summer – the lazy crazy days of summer – and has launched out into the deep! Religious Ed, Coffee house and PB&J Gang have burst into life.
May You Be Blessed in the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer
The weather was wonderful, as were the people and pets who gathered for the Blessing of the Animals in honor of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi.
