Founded as a day shelter in 1985, St. Francis House provides basic services and rehabilitative programs to over 500 men and women each day. Through meals, clothing, showers, counseling services, and health care and housing assistance, St. Francis House embodies the beliefs of Jesus and St. Francis of Assisi that the poor are our brothers and sisters and we are their keepers.
One hundred-thirty Easter baskets were delivered to St. Mary’s Women’s and Children’s Center in Dorchester during Holy Week. Many thanks to all the parishioners who so kindly and generously donated candy for the baskets. Thanks also to the Religious Education students in Grade 2 who decorated Easter eggs, and in Grades 7, 8 and 9 who took great care in assembling the baskets. The mothers and children who received the baskets were delighted. Thank you!
