He ascended. And then he said: go. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

This Sunday we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord at Saint Francis Parish and Outreach. The disciples stood staring at the sky where Jesus had been. Two figures in white interrupted them with a gentle but urgent question: why are you still looking up?
The commission is still the same. All nations. All the way to the ends of the earth. With the promise: I am with you always.
Come and be part of a community that is learning to stop staring and go.

Something we have been working on is finally ready. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Our website at oursaintfrancis.org has been completely rebuilt โ€” faster, cleaner, and designed to make it easy for anyone to find us, learn about us, and connect with what we do.

Whether you are joining us for the first time or have been part of this community for years, the new site has everything: Mass information, livestream links, our sermon series and blog, the Blessing Bag outreach wishlist, the newsletter signup, and ways to give.

We built it because we believe that the way we show up online matters just as much as the way we show up on Greene Street. Come find us.

๐ŸŒˆ We're going to Pride, and we need your help to get there!

Saint Francis Parish and Outreach is raising $1,000 by June 1 to have a booth at Augusta Pride 2026 โ€” so we can be right there on the ground, showing our community that there is a Church that actually means it when it says all are welcome.

If you've ever wished there was a Christian presence at Pride that wasn't there to judge but to welcome, this is your chance to put us there.

Every dollar gets us closer. Share this post. Tag someone who needs to know we exist. Let's go to Pride. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Blast from the past.

When the BBC was rebooting Doctor Who, they sent former Doctors and artifacts on tour in the USA. For instance, the 3rd Doctor's wheels, Bessie.

I was on the local committee for the mid-week stop in Augusta GA and Third is My Doctor. So we were putting together gifts for Mr. & Mrs. Pertwee, and I shared that she writes cookbooks.

Several people suggested "Tea Time at the Masters" and I suggested "White Trash Cooking".

After a Q&A and autographing session. we presented our gifts to Mr. Pertwee.
Tea Time at the Masters - thank you so much.
White Trash Cooking - that's the one we've been looking for!
