WINTER WEATHER POLICY

Bad weather sometimes causes adoration,  classes or meetings to be cancelled or postponed. We try to take into account the forecast and conditions over the area, including our parking lots and sidewalks in making such decisions. The safety of everyone is  the main consideration. Even if a Mass or an event is not cancelled, please use common  sense if leaving your house is very unwise due to stormy weather or icy roads.

      Information about canceling events or closing the chapel is posted on  the web  at www.stfrancisparish.org. You can also listen to the message at 213-7685. This phone number is always listed on the front of the bulletin and can also be found on the flap of the yearly calendar.

    Whenever Augusta County Schools are closed, the parish offices will generally be closed as well.
