Stations of the Cross

Fridays during Lent at 7:30 P.M.

Lent 2025: A Time for Reflection, Renewal, and a Simple Shared Supper

As Lent begins, let’s take this time to slow down, reflect on our lives, and grow closer to Christ. St. Francis of Assisi Parish warmly invites you to join us every Friday during Lent for a special evening with Jesus—an opportunity for fellowship, prayer, and spiritual reflection. Whether you join for one part or the whole evening, we look forward to breaking bread, praying, and growing in faith together.

Every Friday during Lent:

5:00 to 7:00 p.m.: Enjoy a Simple Supper of soup and bread in the St. Francis Room. Share in fellowship and faith as we enjoy delicious homemade soup and conversation with fellow parishioners.

6:30 to 7:30 p.m.: Spend an hour in quiet contemplation before the Stations of the Cross. This is a peaceful time to pray the rosary, read or converse with Jesus. Visit the Parish Welcome Table in the Narthex, where you'll find inspiring books, prayer cards, and rosaries—available for you to take home.

7:30 to 8:00 p.m.: Walk with fellow parishioners in contemplation and prayer as we move through the Stations of the Cross together.

8:00 to 8:30 p.m.: Deepen your spiritual journey with 30 minutes of guided reflection and meditation following the Stations of the Cross.

Don’t come alone—bring your family, invite a friend, or reach out to someone who is searching for a deeper connection with Jesus.

Laudato Si Drawing

To promote awareness of Laudato Si in our parish, the Laudato Si ministry is encouraging our parishioners to read Pope Francis’ writings Laudato Si and Laudato Deum and have a chance to win a gently used Ego electric snowblower ($500 value) or a Vitamax countertop food composter ($399 value).

 To enter the free drawing you are required to answer the following questions: In Laudato Si, in what paragraph does Pope Francis declare the Laudato Si encyclical added to the Church’s social teaching? In Laudato Deum, what paragraph did Pope Francis discuss the carbon footprint of the US compared to China?  Submit your answers to parishcouncil@stfrancisbb.org or place them in a box on the Welcome Table. The drawing will be on March 24, 2025.
