The Friars of St. Francis are throwing a party — and you’re invited!

On Monday, February 9, we’re gathering in the Parish Hall at 6:00 pm for a special recognition dinner celebrating the Friars and all they do to keep hospitality alive and well at St. Francis. From welcoming smiles to helping hands, this ministry quietly makes a big difference — and this night is all about saying thank you.

But wait, there’s more! This evening also doubles as a low-pressure, high-fun recruitment night for men of the parish who are curious about the Friars. Come enjoy a great meal, meet current members, ask questions, and see if this ministry might be a good fit for you.

We’re thrilled to welcome Guest Speaker Guy Gardner, Head Coach of the Palos Verdes High School Varsity Football Team, who will be joining us for the evening.
