What is St. Francis parish like? I might answer that best by quoting from part of our Parish Pastoral Plan:
     St. Francis of Assisi parish strives to be a Christ-centered expression of the family of God, nourished by Spirit-filled worship and ministries that impact, challenge, and empower people of all ages to serve one another in a spirit of community, stewardship and outreach. ... more

Listen to Pray-as-you-go
a framework for your own prayer

A new prayer session is produced every day.  It is not a 'Thought for the Day', a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer.

Lasting between ten and thirteen minutes, it combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection.  The aim is to help you to:

  • become more aware of God's presence in your life
  • listen to and reflect on God's word
  • grow in your relationship with God.
It is produced by Jesuit Media Initiatives, with material written by a number of British Jesuits and other experts in the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola.

Although the content is different every day, it keeps to the same basic format.

  • Bells - the call to prayer
  • Opening music, with a few words of introduction
  • Scripture for the day
  • Questions for personal reflection
  • Repeat of the scripture reading
  • Final reflection
  • Conclusion: Glory be to the Father...
Pray-as-you-go is always available thru the  button in the left column of the St. Francis home page.
