Welcome to a new blog

St. Francis historic church (built in 1920)  in a snowstorm, Feb 8, 2014

Seeing my own personal blog so successful and popular among many of my parishioners, I decided to start a new blog, dedicated strictly to the parish of St Francis of Assisi in Bend, OREGON. It will include photos of the two churches, activities related to the parish, our Parish School, Faith Formation program and other interesting information. The posts may not be done on a daily basis, but I assure you they will be frequent and quite informative. 
You may call this our parish blog, which will be administered by myself. Parishioners may want to add comments, but they have to be positive and affirming. Some brief articles from our "Good News Ministry" may be included from time to time.
The first photo relates to the huge snowstorm we've had between February 7 and 8, with 2 feet of snow falling all over Central Oregon. Other photos are posted here and described individually.
