Wayne Hastings
Communications Specialist
As the Communications Specialist on staff, I help St. Francis tell its story in a clear, welcoming, and meaningful way.
I work with our clergy and ministry leaders to turn what’s happening in the life of the parish—worship, outreach, formation, and community—into language and content that people can easily connect with. That includes writing for the website, newsletters, and social media, shaping announcements and campaigns, and helping sermons and testimonies reach a wider audience through video and digital platforms.
At heart, my role is about invitation. I try to make sure people don’t just hear what we’re doing, but why it matters—and that they feel genuinely welcomed into the life of the church, whether they’ve been here for decades or are encountering St. Francis for the first time.
I also focus on consistency and tone, helping our communications reflect who we are: a community grounded in faith, generosity, inclusion, and joy. My goal is to support the mission of St. Francis by helping our words, images, and stories open doors, build connection, and point people toward God’s love.
