Life isn't always fair
|
|
|
The readings this weekend are hard reading to preach on. In the Epistle we have Saint Paul struggling with a Shakespearean dilemma "to be or not to be". In the Gospel we hear Jesus basically say that life is not always fair, but we have accept what is given to us and be happy. These are hard messages to hear …

Donations
You might not know this, but here at Saint Francis we do not take up a collection. We believe that when we gather for Mass, we should focus all our attention on the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Stopping to take up a collection diverts our attention from the most important task at hand, spending time with Jesus!
|
If you would like to donate to our parish, you can do so by leaving a donation in the basket next to the service books in the back of the church or by visiting our website. You can set up reoccurring donations or make a one-time donation at https://oursaintfrancis.org/support-us/.
|
As you can see from the link, our site uses state of the art security to protect your financial information from beginning to end.
|
All items can be sent to 118 Frances Drive, North Augusta, SC 29841.
|
We are also proud to announce that you can support Saint Francis every time you buy something at Amazon.com! You can visit https://smile.amazon.com/ch/47-1657061 and every time you shop, Saint Francis will get a small donation.
|
|
Thank you for your generous support! It is your support that keeps Saint Francis moving forward.
