What's Happening at St. Francis this week

Thursday Announcements April 27, 2023

ERIN’S EPISTLETTES

• Registration for our diocesan camp, Camp Canterbury, opens soon! 
  • This year's camp takes place at Calvin Crest near Fremont, Nebraska, from Monday, July 17 to Friday, July 21. 
  • I plan to serve as a camp counselor. I don't yet know which age group I'll be assigned. 
  • Registration will be available here Sunday, May 7. 
  • This year's fee is $275 per camper. If your child or teen is interested in attending and this amount is a hardship for your family, please reach out to me. 
  • Even if you don't need scholarship support, please let me know if your child or teen plans to attend camp. 
• A midweek Eucharist was re-introduced late last year as a pilot for 2023. 
  • Outside of Lent when this was paired with a soup supper, attendance has been sparse. On average, only two parishioners join the priest celebrating Eucharist. 
  • To those who have participated: thank you! 
  • To those interested in this offering who have yet to participate: I encourage you to vote with your feet. 
  • This service will be held Wednesdays at 6 p.m.
