Current Sister Parish Intiatives
Sister Parish in Peru
The Santa Ana school provides a quality education in a parish where the vast number of families live in poverty and educational opportunities are few. Years of hard fought economic progress were wiped out by the COVID pandemic and its accompanying economic devastation. Recovery is difficult, but keeping kids in school at Santa Ana provides a path to the future. Each year since 2009 St Francis has provided full or partial scholarships for children in need of this assistance.

Parish Mission to Peru
Join St Francis Parishioners in July 2024 on a journey to our Sister Parish in Lima. Peru.
Tuesday, July 9th ~ Tuesday, July 16th
Learn about the economic, political, cultural and faith reality of our brothers and sisters living in Peru by sharing in this mission experience. Our journey is a mission of presence, standing in solidarity with our brothers & sisters in extremely poor sections of Lima and the Lurin Valley. While we hope to have the chance to assist local parishioners in physical labor construction or maintenance projects, this opportunity varies greatly from year to year. No specific skills are required other than having an open mind and open heart! All applications are due by May 3, 2024.
