           OUR MINISTRIES
The ministries of St. Francis of Assisi are diverse and designed to meet the needs of the parishioners and the community in which they serve.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist

 

This ministry provides a spiritual and sacramental lifeline to community members who cannot attend Mass because of hospitalization, serious illness, pregnancy, injury or similar circumstance. In keeping with the Gospel of Matthew’s admonition to care for those who are sick or imprisoned, St. Francis ministers to the homebound deliver communion and fellowship to parishioners at their homes, hospitals and nursing homes.

The Ladies Altar Society is a service group comprised of and open to all women of the parish.  They are the hands of Mary.  They do much more than just taking care of the Altar, which includes the flowers, linens, vestments, altar server albs, and candles.

Ministry of Music

Music ministry is one of the most vital ministries in the church. Our minister of music is none other than Jonathan Braxton who is featured in the below video as part of the Gospel Music Workshop Conference.
Ushers

​

St. Francis ushers prepare for the services and special events, ensuring that ample Missalettes and hymnals are available for the congregation's use. For special events, ushers may rope off reserved seats or parking spaces. After services, ushers walk the pews to collect Missalettes and return them to their proper locations.  They facilitate the church offering process.
