St. Francis parishioners have had a faithful group of pray-ers for a number of years. These men and women receive parishioners’ requests for prayers for the personal needs of family, friends or themselves. The requests are called in to the prayer chain leader and he or she repeats the requests to other prayer ministers via the telephone. All on the prayer chain remember the prayer intention daily for 2 weeks.
