We live out our Franciscan mission everyday as we celebrate Eucharist, welcome all to our community, feed the hungry, and work to improve the lives of all that we encounter. We come together for the Feast of St. Francis to celebrate our community and our Franciscan heritage during the month of October.
Check out all the events we have planned to gather together, build our faith community, and contemplate how we can share our gifts and bring peace to all we encounter.

Caring for others in honor of St. Francis: Food Security
We have two opportunities to help others with food security during this week.
Sunday, October 1, participate in our snack drive. Snacks are combined into snack packs and handed out with sandwiches provided by our sandwich ministry 365 days of the year.
Saturday, October 7, join us and work together with Levo International to build a new urban garden at 455 Garden St. in Hartford. Levo is working to turn underutilized urban properties into productive farm spaces to alleviate food insecurity. Read more and sign up on their website.
