St. Francis Church immediately after the 9:30 AM Mass
(i.e., about 10:45AM) on the 5th Sunday of the month. The
first one is on March 29th. Gather in the cry room (or cry in
the gathering room, your choice) and Deacon Steve will
meet you there. You don’t have to be Catholic to participate – everyone is welcome.
