Respect Life Ministry
The Respect Life Ministry educates and provides resources to assist us all in preserving the sanctity of life from natural birth to natural death. This ministry sponsors our Mother’s Day Rose Sale and our annual spiritual adoption of unborn infants. They periodically offer materials outside of mass for all LIFE issues including information on supporting a culture of life regarding euthanasia, the death penalty, abortion, natural family planning, embryonic stem cell research and other current issues surrounding this topic. The ministry meets monthly and welcomes new members. Please contact Marilyn Day at rday@verizon.net for details.
Ministry to the Sick and Homebound
“…when I was sick, you visited me — MATTHEW 25:36”
The Homebound Ministry is an outreach service that St. Frances provides to all of its Parishioners.https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/stock/2059/:/rs=w:600,h:300,cg:true,m/cr=w:600,h:300
In an effort to be responsive to the needs of those in our Parish who are disabled, sick, or confined to their homes due to temporary or chronic illness, which causes them to miss regularly worshiping with their Parish community, a group of Extraordinary Ministers of Communion (EMC) was formed.
We encourage all of our Parishioners who are in need of this service to please call the Parish Office at 909-797-2533 ext 225 and make a formal request.
For emergency visits due to extreme illness or for those in need of the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, please call the parish office.
We are in search of volunteers for this ministry! Volunteers need to be:
- A registered member of the parish
- 18 years of age or older
- Confirmed
- In “Good Standing” with the church
Ministers make one visit per week on a day of their choosing. Training will be provided for volunteers prior to their first homebound visit. Call Margo Isenberg at 909-797-2533 ext 225 or misenberg@sfxc.org, for additional information.

POST ABORTION HEALING AND RECONCILIATION
Hope After Abortion — It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one’s heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness.
RachelsVineyard.org — The Rachel: Hope and Healing program offered by ProLife Catholic Ministries gives support to women and men hurt by abortion, by providing telephone counselling and Rachel’s Vineyard Retreats.
