Ministries

Exciting things are happening at St. Francis de Sales Parish.  We offer ministries for those who are wanting to serve their neighbors (St. Vincent de Paul Society, Crafting Club), to deepen their faith (Rediscover Jesus Discussion Group, Online Scripture Study), and to use their talents (St. Francis de Sales Choir, Cantoring, Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers, Crafting Club, Altar Servers, Coffee/Donuts/Pancake Fellowship).

If after reading through these ministries, you are interested or would like more information about participating, please fill out the interest form here.

LECTOR MINISTRY

Are you being called to help others hear the Word of God? If so, consider becoming a Minister of the Sacred Word. This beautiful ministry doesn’t just “read” the Word of God, those called to this ministry proclaim the Word so that others will be able to hear the message of God’s love to us either through Scripture or Prayers of the Faithful.

If interested please contact Linda Digan at l.digan@sfdsdenver.com

CANTOR MINISTRY

A cantor is first and foremost a minister; the cantor helps to lead the congregation to enter more fully into the mystery of God through music. The cantor leads into full song, and proclaims the Psalm with clarity and beauty. A cantor does not have to be a member of the choir, these positions are different parts of ministry. A cantor, however, is not a performer, in the conventional sense of the word. If you are interested in becoming a cantor, please call Lu Mayfield at 303-949- 0119.

Crafting Club

The St. Francis de Sales Crafting Club meets every Thursday, 10:00 a.m., at the Parish Office where we perfect our crocheting and knitting skills. In the spirit of doing  for others, our projects usually involve an aspect of service.

Currently, we are working on creating knitted fabric squares that will be turned into blankets for the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.  

Want to help out but can't make our meeting time? Feel free to knit at home and drop off your squares into the St. Vincent de Paul basket inside the church or at the church office.
If you can make the meeting time, we'd love to have you. 

HOMEBOUND OUTREACH

Homebound Ministry serves those members of our church body who, due to physical limitations, are unable to attend church regularly. Some are unable to leave home at all. They rely on caregivers who provide for their basic needs – but sometimes that just isn’t enough. Without regular social contact they begin to feel isolated, helpless, and lonely.

It is a great privilege to go encourage our homebound people. Please prayerfully consider taking this opportunity to serve. For more information about ministry to the homebound, call 303-744- 7211
