Kathy Barkman is still seeking an individual or a group of ladies to take over some responsibilities. She is hoping to find a group to start shadowing her ASAP. She plans on handing part of her torch over Sept. 1, 2024. Kathy still plans to help, but she would like to find ladies or an individual to take over the following: Scheduling quilting dates and lunches, set up for quilting, putting quilts in frames. These are things that mainly require time. Kathy still plans on taking care of the Special Quilt for the Picnic, and she will make sure there are supplies for quilting, etc. If interested or for more information, contact Kathy Barkman 618-973- 2119 (call/text).
St. Francis Parish has just subscribed to an extraordinarily effective new outreach from Franciscan University’s Catechetical Institute (CI). Thanks to a partnership between our diocese and the CI, we are now able to offer on-line education for every person in the parish. Select the "Faith Formation" tab from our website menu above to learn more.
We still urgently need a Respect Life Co-Coordinator to share responsibilities with a person who has already volunteered to be a co-coordinator. The inherent dignity and value of every life - born and unborn - is a deep Catholic belief. This is your opportunity to represent the parish in support of that belief and (icing on the cake) share the workload with another person. To volunteer, or for information, call Deacon Steve AuBuchon at (618) 228-7936.
The St. Francis Parish Center is available for rental.
Please visit the "Parish Center Use Agreement" under the "Links & Forms" tab for further instructions on how to make a reservation.
NOTE: ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE WITH THE PARISH OFFICE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS. THE AGREEMENT FORM DOCUMENT ON THE WEBSITE CANNOT BE SUBMITTED FOR AUTOMATIC RESERVATIONS.
