A Stewardship Parish
Our mission as St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish is to worship together in faith, live with love, promote justice, and serve the needs of the parish and wider community.
Stewardship
“Christian stewardship takes a positive view on money. It sees money not only as a medium of exchange but as a symbol of the person who has it. The way we acquire it, use it, and share it; we are revealed in those actions.” Joseph Chaplin, Grateful Caretakers of God’s many Gifts, p.45
Prayer of St. Francis
“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.
“Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”
