Fellowship Sunday
This time provides parishioners an opportunity for fellowship and a light breakfast of coffee, juice, donuts and fresh fruit in the Choir Room of Jesuit Hall after all Sunday morning Masses on the second Sunday of each month.
This is a great opportunity to meet parishioners and to socialize. Different parish ministries and groups have the opportunity to host the Fellowship Sundays to promote their various missions and projects. Watch the bulletin, check "Parish Events" on our homepage or the Parish Calendar for the next Fellowship Sunday date.

Parish breakfasts are offered to the parishioners and community on the third Sunday of each month. The menu varies but usually includes ham, bacon, scrambled eggs, hash brown, pancakes, fresh fruit and coffee, milk and juice. All proceeds benefit the parish.
Hosts and Sponsorships are welcome. Hosts provide approximately 45 workers for the breakfast and will receive profit from the 50/50 raffle and tips. Its a great way to earn extra funds for any parish organization. They will also sell advance tickets.For more information or to volunteer, you can contact:

Karen Kleekamp, Ladies Sodality PresidentAnnual Rummage Sale
The Saint Francis Borgia Ladies Sodality organizes the Annual Rummage Sale, usually in July or August of each year. Sale items are collected several weeks in advance of the sale, and include wearable clothing, household items, and books. (Encyclopedias, TVs, nor computers are accepted.)
Volunteers work to organize all the items prior to the sale weekend, which is held in the Grade School Cafeteria. This is a great opportunity for students to earn Christian Service hours and be a part of a worthwhile event that supports our parish.

Parish Fall Festival
Saint Francis Borgia hosts our parish festival on the first Sunday after Labor Day and invites all of our parishioners and the greater community to enjoy a great day of family activities and a delicious family-style dinner.
Parishioners work together to plan and stage the event which includes a family-style dinner in the Grade School Cafeteria, and games and sports tourneys on the surrounding parish grounds. Bingo games are planned, craft and bake sale stands, handmade quilts, country store and white elephant items are crafted for sale in the stands on the parking lot.
This is the largest annual event and fundraiser for the parish and each year we are blessed to have many volunteers offer their generous support of time and talents to make our Fall Festival so successful. Details and ways to help are announced in the parish bulletin and on the website prior to the event.
