The St. Francis Youth Ministry, FOCUS, aims to provide guidance, companionship, and knowledge of the Catholic faith to the youth of the parish community. FOCUS is dedicated in molding young Catholic servants eager to serve the parish and the community by spreading the message of our Catholic faith through prayer and the teachings of St. Francis.

Youth Ministry established in 2009 by Lori DiGaetano and St Anthony’s Youth Ministry Team who trained the youth of St Francis Parish, Alex Collantes, and Doug & Leanne Christmann to carry on the ministry. The ministry was given the name St Francis FOCUS Youth Ministry. FOCUS is an acronym for “Family of Catholic United Servants”.

FOCUS meets on the first Friday and 3rd Sunday of the month to plan a service activity for the parish and for the community as well as carry out spiritual and social activities for the youth group members. FOCUS Team members also meet monthly with the coordinators to work together for the success of the ministry.
