________________________________________________________________________________________________KATHERINE KRIEDERMANN UPDATE
Katherine recently sent this update so I'm quoting her here. "Just a little update. Still on the every other week chemo that makes me unable to walk or use my hands without gloves, but that diminishes in the off weeks. Susan continues to drain the pleural areas every few days, so I do not need Home Health care. It is a tricky process, but she does it skillfully. Am quite fatigued and ill feeling, but I am alive!"

DIANE MEVES' Mother In Law, who lives in a care facility, has contracted COVID-19. At this time, it seems that she has a mild case but this virus just is unrelenting in it's many manifestations. Prayers sent to the family from the St. Francis family!
________________________________________________________________
UP DATE ON JOYCE VASEYPaula Vasey's mother in law, Joyce, has been moved to a quarantine room in her Assisted Living facility. She has the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and will soon be tested to confirm it. Joyce hasn't been able to see her family since mid-March when the facility no longer allowed visitors. Joyce tested negative for COVID-19!!!! But she'll remain in the hospital to clear up an infection. Keep that good news coming!! Dont't stop those prayers though!
________________________________________________________________
A sad note about OLIVIA, MARTI DAMM'S neice. Olivia's mother (Marti's sister in law) died unexpectedly on Mother's Day. And the next day was Olivia's 21st birthday. This poor young woman and her family have had such a difficult time. Your prayers are so needed!
________________________________________________________________A wonderful note from Chris about DEB MOTTO'S BROTHER
"Thank you for all the prayers. We have been gifted a miracle. Deb’s brother Mike is HOME after 4 weeks in the hospital/ICU with COVID. Please praise God."

Capital Campaign
Honoring the Past, Serving the Present, Preserving God's Gift for the Future - St. Francis of Assisi was established by Bishop Waterson nearly 125 years ago. We began a Capital Campaign to finance restorations to our beloved building, including the stain glass windows, the hardwood floors, the pews, paint and repairs, so that our church can continue to serve our community for decades to come! The collection of pledges will continue, though our restoration is now complete. If you haven't had a chance to walk through the church to see all the subtle and dramatic changes, do so. You will be in awe over the craftmanship and attention to detail.
