Looking toward the future
|
|
|
We have weathered a storm like no other. Our nation has endured not only the worse worldwide pandemic in a century, but we also survived an insurrection and attempted civil war. All of this has happened over the mere two years. And while I am sure many of you felt that this would never end, it will. And Saint Francis …

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.
