ST. FRANCIS DURING COVID
Through the COVID pandemic, St. Francis Episcopal Church has enveloped our church family to keep our faith, our spirits and our minds strong. We have modified our service and program schedule: our services are live streamed so you can watch from the comfort and safety of your own home AND our programs and activities are virtual so everyone can participate safely. You can even listen from your car in our parking lot on Sundays at 9am (tune to FM 88.3). We hope you will join us!
We have taken many precautions to keep our parishioners, clergy and staff safe during the pandemic. To learn more about the steps we have taken, please visit our HEALTH AND SAFETY page.
