Support Mo. Sarah on her Avon Walk to Fight Breast Cancer!
In an effort to put "legs" on my gratitude, I have chosen to walk 39.3 miles and raise at least $2000 in donations for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer - September 6 & 7 this year.

Together with my clergy women's group, I'm walking because every three minutes another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States. That's why I'm pushing myself to do something to change the course of this disease that touches us all.

Will you donate today to help me meet my goals and take this Walk? It's fast and easy to make a tax-deductible donation. Simply CLICK HERE to access my fundraising page, then click "Donate Now."

The Avon Foundation for Women funds a comprehensive network of programs and services for breast cancer patients and their families through five key areas: awareness and education, screening and diagnosis, access to treatment, support services and scientific research.

I hope you will donate to my Walk. I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Thank you, Mo. Sarah+

Charlie Brown Moves To Next Year
We have learned that doing a musical in August comes with many challenges, most of them having to do with families going out of town. While we have plenty of teenage talent at St Francis to put on You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, enough people were unable to commit to the schedule we proposed that we have decided to postpone it until next summer. So, stay tuned! This delightful musical will be coming to our Parish Hall in Summer of 2015.
4th of July Holiday
The office will be closed next Friday for July 4th.
