We appreciate your visit to the St. Francis de Sales Outreach Food Pantry section of our website. We kindly invite you to take a few moments to browse through the various ministries that are dedicated to serving the poor. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! If you wish to serve the poor, there is a ministry here at St. Francis where you can fulfill that wish. Jesus teaches us that by serving those who are less fortunate, we are genuinely serving him. We sincerely hope you will consider joining one of the many teams that are working together to assist those in need. We understand that time is an important factor, and we want to assure you that you are never expected to do more than what you are capable of.

Contact: Gail Grady at gradygirl48@aol.com
Mission Statement: The community of St. Francis de Sales will reach out to our brothers and sisters of Legliz Marie Reign, L’Estè, Haiti with spiritual, financial and physical support. Through the power of prayer our communities will become one as Jesus intended.
Goal: The primary goal of a sister parish partnership is to build a spiritual connection between the two communities. From this strong foundation of mutual prayer will flow the financial means to assist our Haitian brothers and sisters, which is the second goal. The third goal is to be physically present to the community in Haiti by making trips to L’Estè.
