WOMEN OF ST. FRANCIS MEETS 2/11
Let’s bring back our White Elephant exchange – with a twist. To limit touch points, each participant will keep the gift that she chooses on the first try. Don’t buy something new, it should be something you already have in your possession; it can be really nice, or really silly! Also, we'll be collecting laundry detergent and dish soap for the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry. We'll see you Thursday 2/11 at 7pm in Murphy Hall!
COLUMBUS CATHOLIC MEN'S CONFERENCE
Join men from all over the Columbus Diocese in-person at select parishes, as well as men from all over the country as they tune in virtually for the first conference of this kind on Saturday, 2/27, 9a - 12p. An amazing host and phenomenal array of speakers on fire with the Spirit are sure to inspire, encourage and strengthen conference attendees.
Learn more about the speakers here or
contact Eric with questions or to register for the St. Francis watch party.
INVITATION FROM OUR PARISH RESPECT LIFE GROUP

Periodically, other life affirming articles are posted as well. Please consider joining the Respect Life Flocknote Group. You can join by going to the parish Flocknote
site or by contacting

PASSING THE VIRTUAL OFFERTORY BASKET
We really need everyone to make an ongoing pledge to support our mission. Electronic giving is currently the most consistent way to give, safest and most reliable. Will you consider how you can help us during this time?
- Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) - MOST RECOMMENDED - For reoccurring gifts, you can set up automatic debit to one’s bank account or charges to one’s credit card. Please fill out this Offertory Commitment Form to set up recurring payments.
- One-Time Online Donation If you normally donate by envelopes or the basket, we have set up a link to donate online with a one-time donation by credit card. Click here to complete the form. You may use this link as often as you like.
- Text-to-Give Another option is through our new TEXT-to-GIVE number. Donate simply by texting SFDS to 740.240.6093. You can also use this in place of your normal offertory basket giving.
- US Mail If you would like to continue using your envelopes, please mail your contribution into the parish office at 40 Granville Street, Newark, OH 43055. Checks are preferred as cash is not a safe or secure way to fulfill your offertory through the mail.
