Dear St. Francis Parishioners,

Good news! It’s time for our annual Oktoberfest cele-bration, and we are planning something new!

Our festival is in a transition year, and after careful deliberation we have decided to reimagine Oktober-fest. For this year only, we are going to combine Ok-toberfest with our annual Back to School Picnic! This will be a one day event on Saturday, September 29, and I am counting on all of you to attend, volunteer, and have fun together as a parish.

At the same time, I have asked the Oktoberfest com-mittee to regroup, study, and hopefully determine what Oktoberfest needs to become in order to invig-orate and excite our parish. It will be a parish-wide event, one that will attract members of all ages. It will be exciting to discover their vision for this important event!

Thank you for supporting this change as we work to implement something new and exciting at St. Francis! Please continue to keep our parish in your prayers. Wishing you a restful summer, and may God bless each of you!

Rev. Carl Jude Hood Pastor

CORE TEAM Recruitment

We are looking to expand our Life Teen/EDGE Youth Ministry Core Team - our group of adult volunteers.

We have been blessed with amazing adults already, but are always looking for more help. So if you have a pas-sion for helping lead teens closer to Christ, then this is for you! If you worry that you’re too old or too young or too shy, it doesn’t matter! What matters is your de-sire to help young people! Remember, Jesus doesn’t

call the equipped, he equips the called.

For more information, contact Julia or Phillip Norton (901) 756-1213 ext. 124 or

[email protected].

God Bless and Thank You, Julia and Phillip

No skills are necessary, just a desire to inspire children with the Words of Christ. All materials are provided and your commitment is just once a month for 20 minutes during Mass.
