Ministers of care
It is important for our Saint Francis parish to stay in touch with those parishioners who cannot attend Mass, even for a short period of time. This beautiful ministry reaches out to the sick, elderly and handicapped by bringing prayer, presence and the Eucharist to those in a hospital, nursing home or in their own home. To inquire about receiving Communion or to be a part of those who volunteer, please call: Sally Kowalski at 931-335-1008.

Comfort for the Homebound
Every Church has them: once active parishioners who now have limitations
that have reduced their involvement in the Church. It’s the mission of this ministry to bring fellowship to the homebound or shut-ins by making phone calls during the week and to especially check on the mental, spiritual and physical well-being of these gifted individuals. There are also a variety of ministries in which the homebound can participate that require only a little training. For more information, or to be a part of this meaningful connection with our parish community please call: Carol Schmidt 931 484-3022,
Dawn Fortson 931 335-2315 or Jay Londre 815 761-4050.
