The spring session for Baptism Classes will be coming in the near future (probably in March). The sessions consist of two evenings (approx. 7-9) held in the welcoming area of the Church.

Dats for the classes will be published as soon as they are set. Classes are required prior to having a child baptized.

Valentine Sunday Brunch--Everyone is welcome to stay after mass on Sunday 12th February for Brunch.  As it is almost Valentine`s Day, we will exchange the valentine`syou brought last week!

Please stay and enjoy the fellowship and fun.  There will be a free-will offering.

Any elderly parishioners, or any experiencing serious or chronic illness at this time, who would like to receive this Sacrament are asked to sit in the two centre sections of pews,in every other row (thereby allowing a free row of pews between that Father may pass down to do the anointing)  This take place at 5pm Mass and again at 9am mass.

We are looking for a couple of adults to help serve on the altar on Sunday mornings.  We have a number of new young servers (HURRAY!), but do not have anyone to team with them to help them get established on the altar.  If you would consider taking on this task, it would be much appreciated.

We will be holding workshops to preparechildren in St. Francis Parish for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Confirmation and First Communion. Parents of the childrenin Grade Two are

invited to register their children for this purpose by calling the parish office at 653-5126 by October 7/11.

The proposed schedulefor the classes on Reconciliation follows:

Saturday 29thOctober 9:25 - 11:30 Session 1
