Diocesan Week of Service
March 22-28
Throughout the Diocese of Cleveland, parishes will commit themselves to service projects and simple acts of mercy the week of March 22-28. At St. Francis de Sales, we are encouraging families to be creative and find ways to serve in the community. Whether it be visiting a homebound friend, cooking a meal for someone in need, writing a letter to a family member who needs a word of hope, or making a donation of food or clothes, there are endless ways to participate!
St. Francis de Sales will host our annual Ministry Fair on Sunday, February 1 after the 9:00 and 11:00 Masses in the school gym. All are welcome to join us and discover the wonderful ministries our parish offers!


This Advent, our parish invites you to renew and deepen your spiritual life as we await the coming of Christ at Christmas and at His Second Coming.
