The Advent Reconciliation Service for St. Francis and St. Joe's will be held at St. Joe's this year. Prepare for the coming of our Lord.

Beginning on Monday, January 13, the Great Adventure Bible study group will begin the Psalms: The School of Prayer series. The Psalms were Israel’s response to their covenant with God and are a model for our own personal covenant with God. Please prayerfully consider joining the Bible study. The series is 10 sessions long and will begin on Monday, January 13, at 6:30 pm in the St. Francis de Sales Library. If you have the previous study guide, it is the same as the current guide, only the covers have been updated. If you wish to join the group but do not have an existing study guide, we will supply a book and would ask for $25 to cover the cost of the study material. If you wish to join the group, please call or email Dennis at the St. Francis Parish Office to register. Call (218) 233-4780 or email: dennis@stfrancismhd.org.

Due to some schedule changes, we now have from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm on Thursdays open for new adorers in the St. Dominic Savio Adoration Chapel. Please consider committing to at least 30 minutes in Adoration during this time.

If you cannot commit to spending time with Our Lord every Tuesday or Thursday, you can partner with someone else and alternate days or sign up to be a substitute when the regular adorer has a schedule conflict. Please call Dennis at the Parish Office (218) 233-4780 for more information.

We are starting to accumulate a number of coats and hats that have been left behind at church. As the colder weather starts to set in, please check your closets to see if you are missing any coats and hats, or if you have mistakenly picked up someone else’s. We want everyone to stay nice and warm this winter! Please contact Dennis at the Parish Office (218) 233-4780 if you have any questions.

Help is needed in the parish library. The commitment can be as much or as little as you like. If you would like to volunteer, please call Dennis.
