Mary Jordan
Beloved Community,
I’m very sad to announce that, while making Parishioner phone calls, Mary Jordan's son, Tom, informed me that Mary passed away last week, due to a combination of complex health issues. Although she loved St. Francis dearly, Mary hadn’t been able to attend church for about six months due to these health issues. I will bless Mary with a service dedication at this Sunday's service. With regards to memorial services, plans are in place and Mary will be laid to rest with her mom. Let us send out our love and blessings for the repose of Mary’s soul and for her grieving family.

Transitus
Curious about why our weekly e-newsletter is called The Transitus? The name comes from the most important feast day in the life of St. Francis, his death on October 3 and his entrance into the joy of our God. This is known as the Transitus, or Journey. Just as Francis was sent into new life, we pray our community worship, events and education help send you into new life - a journey - as well!
