Our youth group meets every Sunday evening during the school semester in our youth facility,
St Mikes.

Our usual evening schedule is as follows:

College Ministry
At St Francis, we look at college ministry in a different way. We don’t see it as strictly going out and knocking on doors at the local universities. Instead, we feel it is important to maintain a connection with the youth of St Francis. Many of these youth have been members of our church for their whole lives. It would be sad to lose contact with them once they go off to college.
We have youth at several colleges in North Carolina and South Carolina. We try to visit each campus however; it is hard to visit each campus and each youth personally. Instead, we have group meetings at least once a semester in some central location (Maggiano’s in Durham seems to be one of our favorites).
Another important way for the whole parish to remain “connected” to our college youth is through our Franciscan Connection program. Parishioners willing to join our program are assigned one of our college youth. They anonymously contact the youth throughout the school year with cards or gift packages to remind them that someone at St Francis is thinking of them. The youth love getting packages at school and the “Connectors” enjoy coming up with neat things to send. It is fun for both the youth and the parishioners.
If you are interested in adopting one of our youth for the year, contact Ann Crandall at stuartcrandall@bellsouth.net or Danny Hall at danny@stfrancisgreensboro.org.
