On December 7, over 100 seniors from the St. Francis of Assisi community joined together for an Advent Reconciliation, and afterwards met in Fellowship Hall for a luncheon sponsored by The Franciscan School 7th Grade. The Luncheon was capped off with a musical performance by the 1st Grade students. Many thanks to Chef Michelle Cash, the TFS students and their families, and our seniors for making this a very welcoming (and delicious!) event.

St. Francis of Assisi has participated in several Bread for the World Offering of Letters. Inspired by this model, over eighty letters were sent to Washington DC for our school youth
