Join Us for Holy Week at St. Francis🕊✝

Holy Week is the most sacred time of the Church’s year. This week of great reverence and reflection spans the final eight days of Jesus’ life—from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. We remember and walk with Jesus through His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, as He celebrates the Last Supper, to His suffering, death, and Resurrection. These are the events through which Jesus Christ gave His life for each one of us and rose again in victory over sin and death.

Please join us during our Holy Week Events here at St. Francis.

All are welcome to join us for our upcoming Parish Mission, Church on Fire, coming up March 22-24 from 6–8pm in the church. This special three-night event is a wonderful opportunity for spiritual renewal, reflection, and growth as a parish community. To help with planning, please register in advance: https://stfrancisellsworth.flocknote.com/signup/246805

There is no cost to attend. A free-will offering will be available at the door each evening. We hope you will join us for this event and see all the Holy Spirit has in store for us!

About our speaker: Bart Schuchts is the founder of Church on Fire, has been associated with the John Paul II Healing Center since its inception, and has been in ministry across the body of Christ for over 35 years. Bart grew up in a Catholic home, yet drifted away from God while in college. Following a desperate plea to God while sitting in an NFL locker room, Bart had a powerful encounter with the Father’s love that transformed his life forever. Bart travels the country presenting at conferences and retreats, bringing thousands into an intimate and powerful encounter with the Father’s love, transforming lives, and equipping people to live more fully into Christ’s mission.

The sacred season of Lent begins this week on Ash Wednesday, February 18. Masses will be celebrated at the following times:
• 8:30 am
• 7:00 pm

Lent is a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—a season that invites us to slow down, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter to come. On Ash Wednesday, we are reminded that life is a gift and that now is the time to turn more fully toward God and grow in faith.

All are welcome to join us as we begin this holy season together.
