WORD OF LIFE

Justice, other Bishops and parishes from across the
state on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at St. Mary's

Events
ADULT FAITH FORMATION
The Archdiocese of San Francisco is offering
an exciting new program called FORWARD IN
FAITH, in collaboration with Boston College
School of Theology and Ministry, designed to
deepen knowledge and love of the Catholic faith in
order to grow in knowledge of God. Beginning the
week of January 17th, twelve parish locations in the
Archdiocese will host men and women from
neighboring parishes for weekly sessions, during
January, February, and March. For more information
call Cindy Gammer at (415)614- 5616.
HOSPITALITY MINISTRY
Some of you are innately qualified to speak of
the history of this church, from its infancy as a parish
church to it maturity today as a National Shrine to St.
Francis of Assisi.
We are planning to introduce a Ministry of Hospitality
here at the National Shrine. We have
many who visit the Shrine daily and a ministry of welcome
would greatly enhance the experience of their visit.
Discern whether this is a ministry for you and
contact Joyce in the Shrine office learn more of what the
ministry needs from you.
