Ministries
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church offers a number of ministries to share your God-given gifts of time and talents with the church as well as with the community. I earnestly encourage all of you to give to God, in return, by engaging in one or more ministries in the church.
Please go over these ministries that St. Francis Church offers, listed in alphabetical order, to see where God wants you to be involved. If you don’t find a Ministry that fits your God-given talents, let us know. We would be glad to begin a new Ministry where you can exercise your talents for the church. He is calling you to build His church. Would you listen to Him?
—Fr. Jose Thomas Mudakodiyil

St Clare's Helpers

St. Clare's Helpers:
This is a lively group of women of all ages who strive to follow the example of the blessing from St. Clare in her second letter to Blessed Agnes of Prague when she wrote, “What you do, may you always do and never abandon. But with swift pace, light step and unswerving feet, so that even your steps stir up no dust, go forward, the spirit of our God has called you.” Together the women unleash a variety of talent, interests and service into the community through projects that vary from preparing meals for the homeless, offering assistance that stems from the needs of individual parish members, helping with church activities, and spreading the joy and love of Christ through welcoming activities. This year the group is thrilled to organize their first women’s retreat. Women of all ages are encouraged and welcome to join. Meeting activities vary from planning activities to aiding each other in spiritual growth. Joy is present, and laughter guaranteed. For more information, email Sherry Rice at srice@bendbroadband.com or call (541) 383-2305. |
