Please join us as we renew and refresh our ministry as Lector.
This workshop will cover the practical points of reading as well as why we are a ‘storyteller’ at Mass and how we should approach the Word of God. It is a foundational workshop that is geared to all people who are Lectors at St. Francis.
The next session will be held in the Clare Room on:
Saturday, July 27 – 1:30 to 3:30 PM
Please sign up below.
Converge @St.Francis is organizing our first ever St. Francis of Assisi Parish Picnic in Riverside Park.
This is a BYO event. Bring your own lunch and beverages and come either with a few friends or by yourself because we will all be spending the afternoon together. St. Francis will have signage and balloons to designate our area. Bring a beach chair, or just a blanket to be comfortable, and if you have room pack your favorite game or a deck of cards and come!
Click HERE for information about Riverside Park and what is permitted and not permitted. There are restrooms in the park.

This is a free event open to all… but please let us know you are coming so we can communicate with you as we get closer to the day.
Join us for our annual
United in Love Pre-Pride festive Mass
Saturday | June 29 | 4:00 p.m.
“Inspired by our faith in Jesus Christ,
and rooted in the charism of St. Francis of Assisi,
we actively welcome all people.”
This is the first declaration in our parish mission statement. It is how our community at St. Francis thinks and acts.
We are again celebrating this welcome to all people at our United in Love Pre-Pride Festive Mass.
This is a Weekend of Prayer for and with our LGBT Brothers and Sisters.
We take this opportunity each year for our whole parish community to remember that the Lord invited all people to follow him, regardless of race, ethnicity, economic background, gender or sexual orientation.
It is also an opportunity when we can invite to Mass any of our friends who many not feel welcome at the table of the Lord for whatever reason, but especially if they are gay or lesbian. Take the opportunity to bear witness to the unconditional love of God by reaching out and inviting back a brother or sister who hasn’t been home in a while.
AFTER MASS CELEBRATION OPEN TO ALL
It has been our long tradition to have a celebration on the roof of the Francis House after this Mass for our LGBT+ Ministry (or in the San Damiano Hall in case of inclement weather). This year, for the first time, we are opening this gathering to the entire parish community to make this truly a celebration of the inclusive love of our Church of St. Francis of Assisi community. All are welcome to this celebration. Please use the form below to sign up. The $20 fee covers the cost of the food and soft drinks we will provide. It is a BYOB event. Please bring wine or beer or some other beverage of your choice.
Faith Leaders from Metro New York and New Jersey will be gathered to offer prayers for Peace in the Holy Land. This evening will feature prayers, songs, poem readings and reflections centered on peace that all people of goodwill hope for.
