St. Francis Parish and Newman Center has received word from the bishop’s office allowing for Sunday Masses to be celebrated publicly beginning May 30, 2020, the Solemnity of Pentecost. We are looking forward to worshipping God with most of you at church! Life has changed for all of us and the parish/Newman Center is not an exception – but only for a short while.

Weekly Children's Bulletin - PDF Version - 7th Sunday of Easter
The Catholic Kids Bulletin worksheets match up to the weekly Mass readings in the Catholic Church. There are coloring pages that match the weekly Gospel reading. There are activities throughout the month, along with Psalm copywork and a wordsearch. The liturgy of the Mass is outlined along the top of each bulletin so kids can follow along during Mass and learn the order and structure of the Mass. Each week, a Catholic Saint is also highlighted. These are terrific to be used at Mass, or as a pre-teaching activity to help prepare your students for the Sunday Mass.
