Lenten Soup Suppers - Mondays during Lent
Each Monday evening during Lent, at 6:30 pm in the Parish Hall we have a time of fellowship with delicious homemade soups and a short program. Join us!March 25: Working with the Incarcerated
Speaker: Wendy Tarr, Director, Catholic Diocese of Columbus, Office of Social Concerns; Tom Scheid and Irene Zahm, parishoners.
Lent is a new beginning, and a time of reflection and taking stock as we prepare ourselves for Easter. Our brothers ans sisters in prison face many challenges as they prepare themselves for a new beginning in anticipation of their return to the community. Learn about how our diocese is working to support individuals and families impacted by incarceration, and about ways in which St Francis of Assisi parishoners are participating in this ministry.
Hope to see you then!
Editorial: Faith-based advocates take on challenge of affordable housingIt’s a good indicator that an issue is worthy of some attention when the local faith communities that join forces as B.R.E.A.D. identify it as their focus for the year. See article in The Columbus Dispatch here.
Capital CampaignHonoring 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 are embarking on 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! Many more details can be found HERE and in the bulletin.

A Message from Pope Francis
Pope Francis – February 2019
Although we try to ignore it, slavery is not something from other times.
Faced with this tragic reality, no one can wash their hands of it without being, in some way, an accomplice to this crime against humanity.
We cannot ignore the fact that there is as much slavery in the world today as there was before, or perhaps more.
Let us pray for a generous welcome of the victims of human trafficking, of enforced prostitution, and of violence. -
“Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.”
~ St. Francis of Assisi
