Dear Parishioners- If Vernon Schools are closed or delayed, St. Francis will be too. If there is a delay or closure there will not be an 8:30 AM Mass. Please let safety be your guide. Please check our Facebook page. If we receive notice of a delay or closure- we will post there.

Choose Tuesday Morning at 9:30 AM or Tuesday Evenings at 7:00 PM. Class is approx. 1 hour. Join us as we delve in to sin and temptation, good vs. evil, virtue and vice, all from the point of view of the devil. In this 1942 spiritual classic, a senior demon instructs a younger demon on how to tempt a soul and lead them away from God. This perspective helps us shine the light of the Gospel in to the subtle nature of temptation and can help us examine our own spiritual life to make sure we are on the right path. Please advise Joanne in the office, a book order needs to be placed. $12.00 + Shipping.

The Columbiettes are collecting POP TOP TABS for Ronald McDonald House. We will place a container in the Church Social Hall for all you have collected. Bring them in a baggie and drop them in the container. The Columbiettes will get them to Ronald McDonald House. This will be an on-going project.
