St. Francis of Assisi Parish is a community of faith centered on the active celebration of the Eucharist.  In addition to our Mass schedule, St. Francis Parish has the following opportunities for both individual and group prayer. 

Eucharistic adoration.  Since 1984, St. Francis Church has had a Eucharistic Adoration Program.  The Adoration Chapel (entrance around the rear of the church) is open to all parishioners for a visit before the Blessed Sacrament.  Hours of Adoration are 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  If you would like to be a part of our Adoration program, either as an assigned adorer or substitute, please call Pam at 323-7416.

Prayer meeting.  A charismatic prayer meeting is held each Monday at 7:00 PM in the working sacristy in the church.  Everyone is welcomed to attend.

Traveling statue of the Virgin Mary.  The statue of Our Lady of Fatima is approximately 2 feet tall and is available for devotion in your home.  A list, by weeks, is available in the Meeting Room of the Church.  Parishioners can avail themselves of a particular week that they would like for their devotion and sign up on that list.

First Saturday of the Month Mass. On the first Saturday of each month, parishioners who gather to attend the 8:00 AM Mass at St. Francis Church give special homage to Our Lady of Fatima.  The first Saturday Mass is followed by breakfast in the Pine Room.

The Michael Sweeney Prayer Line.  The prayer line was formed after parishioner Michael Sweeney was severely injured in a fiery accident.  He asked that we pray with him, and after his passing, his request took new meaning.  Our prayer line then came into existence and was named in his memory.  To request prayers for yourself or a loved one, or to take an active part in this ministry of intercession and thanksgiving, contact Charlotte at 323-4727 or Chris at 323-6622.

Vocations Cross. Each week Father Vern presents our special Vocations Cross to a parish family in order that they will pray together for an increase in vocations to the priesthood or religious life.  Prayers are included with the cross.  There is a sign-up sheet in the church gathering space.

Spiritual Library. A "Spiritual Library" is located in the Reconciliation Chapel for parishioners to borrow books and tapes on a variety of spiritual topics.
