St. Francis
Parish Family Outreach Committee
This group is comprised of parishioners who have volunteered to prepare and deliver a meal from time to time for fellow parishioners who are experiencing illness, bereavement or another difficulty or crisis. This group also organizes our special liturgies listed below for the sick and for those who have died. They also send out cards to parishioners who recently had a child baptized, or had a loved one’s funeral liturgy here at St. Francis. This is an ideal volunteer opportunity for someone who is unable to make a regular commitment but would like to serve the Parish community in some way.
Anointing Mass / Luncheon
Each Fall we celebrate the Sacrament of the Sick. Following Mass, we have a luncheon for participants. Assistance is needed to help the elderly during the liturgy, with the luncheon in the Parish Center, and transportation.
Memorial Liturgy / Reception
In November, when we traditionally remember our deceased brothers and sisters, we invite all families who have had a loved one pass away during the year to come to a special Memorial Liturgy. Following the Mass, a reception will be held in the Parish Center. Volunteers are needed to assist with the Mass and Reception.
We Remember Liturgy / Reception
This “Liturgy is for all parents who have experienced a loss of a child through miscarriage, early infancy death, or other circumstances. Following Mass, there is a reception in the Parish Center. There are many volunteer opportunities in this event.
