Announcements

Welcome to the web site for St. Francis' Episcopal Church in San Francisco. We invite you to join us for Sunday worship at 8:00a (spoken Eucharist) and 10:00a (choral Eucharist). Visitors are always welcome, and we make a special effort to make your visit with us enjoyable.

The St. Francis Office is open Monday through Friday. However, the hours vary from day to day. If you plan to come by the office, please call ahead to check on the hours for that day.

For privacy reasons, the PAX is not published in its entirety on the website. Major articles from the Pax are, however, included in the relevant sections of the website.

Our annual Fall Parish Retreat at Bishop’s Ranch takes place September 27-29. This year, we will share the Ranch with St. Aidan’s and do some joint programming, including a Saturday night square dance! We need to know if you are planning to attend, as the Ranch staff expects a head count by May 20. Your $100 check reserves your space on the weekend. Checks may be made out to St. Francis’ with “Ranch Retreat” in the memo line. Scholarship money is available. For more information, talk to Sally Young.

The Rector will be teaching a class, starting in September, in preparation for the November 2 Confirmation at the Cathedral. Young people 13 and up (or seventh grade and up) are eligible. If you are an adult wishing to be confirmed, received, or to reaffirm your baptismal vows, the Rector will hold a class for adults, too. Please let her know via email (rector@stfrancisepiscopal.org) or phone the office, if you or your young person are interested.
