Since the 40 Days for Life Campaign has been cancelled, join us on live stream Thursday, April 2nd @ 10:00 AM to pray the Rosary for the intentions of the unborn, for women in crisis pregnancies and for the stopping of Planned Parenthood’s building expansion and the closing of the clinic and the end of abortion.

The Knights of Columbus have revised the 40 Cans for Lent program here at St. Francis since dropping your canned goods off before and after church services is no longer an option. On Saturday, April 4th, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, we will have two vehicles, one in each parking lot at St. Francis to accept your canned goods. Please let your neighbors and friends of St. Francis know this information.

Bishop Stika has canceled All Masses and meetings within the Diocese of Knoxville. Hence, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is canceling all Masses and meetings effective March 20th. Bishop Stika will re-evaluate the situation on April 1st and we will keep you informed. Father Michael Woods will live stream daily Mass and the 10 AM Mass on Sundays. Please understand that while Father is saying Mass, the church will be locked and there will be no entry for parishioners to participate. I realize this will be a hardship for many of you.

As we give thanks for the blessings we received during the Christmas holidays, let us not forget our mission in Haiti. Fr. Glenn Meaux is beginning the year the way the last one ended—working hard to provide for the needs of this mission in the mountains of Haiti. Thank you for your generosity last year.

Beginning Sunday, January 5th, parishioners residing at Good Samaritan Society who cannot get to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church for Mass can now view the 10:00 Mass live on our Roku channel.

If you have a Roku streaming device or Roku TV, we now have our own free Roku Channel to watch our online Masses and special events.

Dear Parishioners...Each month Matthew Kelly and Dynamic Catholic will be sending our Parish 50 books to distribute after our weekend Masses. “The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity” was our Christmas 2018 gift and we will begin with that book.
