St. Francis and the Diocese of Jackson. If you have questions about making a donation, please call us at 601-856-5556.
We make these sacrifices because of the One who made the ultimate and most perfect sacrifice for us. All praise and glory be to the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The process for the two collection baskets during the offertory at Mass: There will be one basket, per section, per collections handed to the first person in each section. Please help us by moving it smoothly to the rear of the section where a Hospitality Minister will collect it. For second collection Masses, a second basket will follow shortly after the first makes the first turn into following pews. We thank you for your assistance in making this change.

Catholic Service Appeal
February 11th/12th Catholic Service Appeal Weekend: Next weekend our parish will conduct Commitment Weekend for our Catholic Service Appeal. This is when we will be asking each member of St. Francis to consider a generous gift to the CSA. Our parish goal can only be reached if each one of us shares a portion of the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. Please prayerfully consider how you or your family will respond to this call to carry on Christ’s work in our community. It is through your gifts of hope that we in the Diocese of Jackson are always working better and stronger to build up the Kingdom of God. Checks payable to Catholic Service Appeal.
