Calling all volunteers! Last year we were very fortunate to have several seminarians with us to help with summer tasks. This year, we aren’t so lucky. Therefore, we are in need of parent volunteers to help us move furniture. This is mostly a first thing in the morning task. Daily, we pull out all furnishings out of 2 classrooms, the floors are stripped and waxed and then the next day we put the furniture back in and take it out of 2 more classrooms. Lifting is required, but we do have furniture rollers and dollies to help. If you are interested in helping, please contact Christy via email at cmcnabb@stfrancisparish.net or call 345-9874 ext 224.

Are you interested in donating your used uniform for a good cause while helping another family save money?
