Journey to Catholicism
St. Francis of Assisi Parish has a program for children and young adults who want to become Catholic and have not yet celebrated the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation or were baptized in another faith. This includes children who missed receiving a sacrament at the usual time or children who, along with their parents, plan to become Catholic. The parish staff, school religion teachers and SFA Religion Coordinator will work together to prepare these students for their sacraments.
Please contact the parish office @901.756.1213 or SFA Religion Coordinator, Betty Siano @901.381.2545 for more information
