Our parish will be holding the annual St. Joseph’s Table on Sunday, March 16th in the St. Francis Room.
There will be a procession immediately following the 12:00pm Mass. The pot-luck meal will follow the procession and short prayer service. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. This is a good time to meet and talk with other parishioners and parish staff. Bring a dish to pass and enjoy the fellowship of our St. Francis family.
Please contact the parish office to sign up. Here are the guidelines that we ask you to follow of what food to bring:
Those whose last name begins with:
A—L: Dessert
M—R: Salad or Side
S—Z: Entree
Please put your name on the bottom of any serving dishes you bring. The church will provide plates, drinks, and utensils.
Please note that a Free Will Offering basket will be available to collect funds to feed the poor of our community.
Please call the Office at 630-759-7588 to RSVP.
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.
