The St. Francis Vestry is very pleased to announce that Bishop Bruno has named Mother Paula as our Priest in Charge Under Special Circumstances (PIC-USC) effective April 1st! This decision initiates a formal mutual discernment period of 12 months to call Mother Paula as our Rector. As always, feel free to contact our Senior Warden Fabrizio, or any Vestry member if you have any questions regarding the Rector transition process. Any Vestry member can be contacted via the church office at 310-375-4617. You can also email Fabrizio directly.

Request for parishioners to place ads in the Antiques Show program (which helps defray the printing cost). An ad can be personal in nature or for a business. Parishioners are encouraged to obtain ads from businesses they frequent in the South Bay. On the Volunteers' Desk in the church office, there are letters to parishioners and merchants explaining the ads and the pricing. Ads obtained can be placed in the "Ads" box in the church office or by contacting Wendy Pratt  or Karin Petersen.
