Helping Hands of St. Francis
What:
We are very excited to introduce a new pastoral ministry here at St. Francis, in which we will monitor and tend to ongoing needs of our members
in a "neighborly" way. Gone are the days in which neighbors are often around to look after each other, whether by running an errand, raking
some leaves, sharing a visit, or giving a ride to an appointment. We hope to recapture that careful attention to each other by coordinating a list of
those who have ongoing needs, as well as a list of those who can help.
