Dear St. Frances of Rome Parishioners,

I want to take this opportunity to thank those of you who were able to join us for our first ever Pizza With the Priests event this past weekend! We had approximately 40 people in attendance and it was a nice time to just be together, to share laughs, to answer questions, and to share a meal together. I would have liked to have seen more people there, but I know time is precious and we are all busy. Stay tuned for more opportunities like this to be together as a parish family.

During the event Fr. Steven and I discussed a brief survey we wanted to get into our parishioners hands. It was in regards to Mass times and what you love about St. Frances of Rome. I also handed out the same survey to the 11:30am Mass crowd last weekend and this weekend, the 8:30am Mass crowd will have an opportunity to fill out the survey as well. If for whatever reason you were unable to fill one out, please let Sharon Bidwell or Steve King know as soon as possible, and they will be sure to get you one. We hope that everyone has an opportunity to fill out this brief survey and then we will share the results with everyone in mid-November.

I do hope you will sign up for Friendsgiving, which will take place on Thursday November 21. We have so much to be thankful for and this will be a good time to be together. As always, thank you for your prayers and support. Be assured of mine!
