Parish-Wide Programs
Parish-wide programs at St. Francis are large-group-type experiences that can be grouped into two general categories: parish/local programs (either at St. Francis or at nearby parishes and locations) or other programs of interest (regional or national programs that may be of interest to parishioners).

The Sacred Triduum: A Celebration of Darkness and Light!
Sunday, April 5, 12:30 – 2:00, room 108. In preparation for Holy Week, together let’s reflect on the end of Lent and the coming Triduum, beginning on Holy Thursday through Holy Saturday. It is a time of waiting for the resurrection. Let’s discuss the Triduum or “Three Days” and the significance of the symbols and rituals that shape the Paschal Mystery. Let’s connect the Jesus story to our story. This session will be led by Drs. Bob and Maggie McCarty of the SFA Adult Faith Formation Team. Please register so we can provide hospitality.

Surviving Divorce
Are you going through a marital separation or divorce? Have you gone through a separation or divorce in the past and are still stressed? Maybe you know someone who’s going through separation and divorce. St. Louis parish is offering a program that will help. It’s called “Surviving Divorce” and it covers 12 consecutive weeks of one-and-a-half-hour sessions on Tuesday evenings, beginning on February 18. Many people have been helped by this program. Come to an introductory session and see if this is for you. Contact Leo Regensburger at leoregensburger@comcast.net.
