News & Upcoming Events

  • Franciscan at Home (FaH)

    St. Francis Parish has just subscribed to an extraordinarily effective new outreach from Franciscan University’s Catechetical Institute (CI). Thanks to a partnership between our diocese and the CI, we are now able to offer on-line education for every person in the parish. Select the "Faith Formation" tab from our website menu above to learn more.

  • Respect Life Co-Coordinator Needed

    We still urgently need a Respect Life Co-Coordinator to share responsibilities with a person who has already volunteered to be a co-coordinator. The inherent dignity and value of every life - born and unborn - is a deep Catholic belief. This is your opportunity to represent the parish in support of that belief and (icing on the cake) share the workload with another person. To volunteer, or for information, call Deacon Steve AuBuchon at (618) 228-7936.

  • Parish Center Rentals

    The St. Francis Parish Center is available for rental.

    Please visit the "Parish Center Use Agreement" under the "Links & Forms" tab for further instructions on how to make a reservation.

    NOTE: ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE WITH THE PARISH OFFICE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS. THE AGREEMENT FORM DOCUMENT ON THE WEBSITE CANNOT BE SUBMITTED FOR AUTOMATIC RESERVATIONS.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
