Advent at St. Francis
Join us this Advent
The Advent season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas.
We invite you to one of our many events that will help us prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas. Download our Advent Booklet for more information on Advent at St. Francis.
