As a Franciscan parish, we come together to celebrate our community and our Franciscan heritage the first weekend of October.
Celebrate who we are as a Franciscan parish, putting our “faith into action” as we come together during this special time, the Feast of St. Francis. Check out the full length video put together by our Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

About our Men’s Sock and Undergarment Drive
Thanks to your continued support throughout the year, we are able to help meet these basic needs of those who come to our door. The serving window at the Franciscan Center is open 365 days a year, offering sandwiches made and served by our dedicated team of volunteer parishioners. But clothing, unlike food, isn’t collected year-round — which is why we’ve begun a new tradition.
With the generous support of our parish community in the past four years, we have unceremoniously established an annual Men’s Sock and Undergarment Collection — a simple yet impactful way to honor the spirit of giving that defines this season and the legacy of St. Francis.
How can you help?
You can help by supporting the Men’s Socks & Undergarment Drive being held after all Masses on Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5. You are invited to donate by simply picking from the three items listed.
Socks – all sizes
Men’s t-shirts: Large and X-Large – new and slightly used
Men’s boxers: Large and X-Large
