Your donation to the Catholic Ministries Appeal supports The Diocesan Office of Faith Formation.
This Office provides programs that help our young people to deepen and build their prayer experience throughout their life. They provide Workshops and resources designed to support Marriage Ministry, Parenting and Family Life, Religious Education, Sacramental Prep and Multicultural Initiatives, giving our diocesan family the tools to bolster parish ministry and further develop missionary disciples.
Mr. Patrick Brennan will be speaking at Mass THIS WEEKEND of April 2-3 about what the Appeal can mean to our parish of St. Francis.
