Bible Study: Hebrews

Hebrews: The New & Eternal Covenant

Presented by Andrew Swafford & Jeff Cavins

Hebrews: The New and Eternal Covenant draws out the riches of this book in a way that makes them easier to understand. It draws connections between the Old and New Testaments, the Liturgy, the Eucharist, the priesthood, and so much more. Most importantly, Hebrews will help Catholics appreciate the astounding generosity of God as they see the wonders he has given us in the Church.

Beginning Wednesday, October 9th @ 7pm & Thursday, October 10 @ 10am at the Ministry Center.

The series will be presented in the Ministry Center and is also available online if you miss a week.  

Register asap so we can be sure to have your workbook here for our first meeting. 

ALL ARE WELCOME!

2024 Lent Prayer Companion Booklets

Lent is your opportunity to be even more intentional about your faith so that you can know the Father’s mercy, grow closer to Jesus and receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Being intentional is more than a mindset, it calls for action. Our Lenten tradition guides us to actively participate with prayer, fasting and service to others.

There is something for everyone in this booklet. Whether this is your first Lent or you have participated for many years, this companion is for you. Throughout these pages, you will find stories and reflections from your fellow St. Francis de Sales parishioners.

We pray that by journeying through Lent toward Jesus and His Resurrection, you will experience a conversion of your heart and mind and share in the Easter Hope of new things to come!!! 

Please keep our parish community in your prayers! If you have any questions please contact us at parishoffice@stfrancislz.org. God Bless!

Kristin Bird Speaker at St Francis - Celebrating Easter

SFdS-StoryMission-EmailHeader.png

On  April 26, 27 & 28 we were blessed to have Kristin Bird speak to our parish community at 10:00am and 7:00pm.

Many people attended the in-person sessions as well as joined us through the St Francis de Sales Youtube and Facebook streams.  You can still log in and watch these.

Kristin shared her own personal stories and humor as she told us about the importance of sharing our own authentic stories with others, since in today’s world, the experience of others is highly regarded and valued.  People listen to our stories.  Kristin also shared God’s story from creation, the fall, and how Jesus came to reconcile us all to the Father and of course, how it’s up to us to choose to follow.   On her last day she shared how she experienced the love of God through the good council of a friend and a growing relationship with her husband and children.   She reminded us that we all have a story and how God is woven into our story.   We then had a chance to share some of our story in a discussion before we left the church.

A survey is being sent out to accumulate feedback. CLICK HERE
