Franciscan Sisters Capture St. Francis School Fall Festival

The day for the annual St. Francis of Assisi School Fall Festival turned out to be a beautiful day in the Delta. The weather was perfect for outdoor fun and games. Many volunteers had arrived early to grill the BBQ chicken, fry our traditional catfish and prepare many other foods for the hungry festival goers.

While the adults enjoyed bingo and kept an eye on the Silent Auction the younger ones easily migrated to the games and activies.

Each of the Friars and Sisters were eager to serve and do all they could to contribute to the success of the event.

Sisters Emy Beth and Monica Mary came to St. Francis to support our efforts and share in the days activities.

As the day wound down and the crowd deserted the cafeteria, we found Mrs. Lewis happily enjoying a well needed break and a few quiet moments, grateful for all the God had done at St. Francis… again.
