Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things to your well-beloved
Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth,
divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gra-
cious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

As many of you may have heard, there is an outbreak of red measles (Rubella) in the US. Red measles is
highly contagious. We are seeing many cases surrounding us and it is only a matter of time before we
have a case in Wisconsin. Please be sure your children and grandchildren are immunized. For up to

Lenten Devotional booklets from
Living Compass will be available in

Bring your old palms to church
before then, place them at the
base of the crucifix (in the plant-
well) in the lower lobby.
The Lenten Study will be offered twice a week:
Daytime: Mondays at noon beginning February 23

You are welcome to bring a brown-bag lunch or supper.

This is a great opportunity to learn about Franciscan Spirituality… a natural thing for
our parish!

Don’t suffer or party alone!
Altar Flowers
The very sad and lonely sign-up
sheet for sponsoring altar flowers is
still hanging on the “Sign-up”
bulletin board in the lower lobby.
While it’s true that there are no
flowers on the altar during lent, that
needn’t stop you for SIGNING UP to
sponsor flowers for a post-Lent
Sunday service.
If you are dedicating the flowers to
someone, that dedication can be
placed here in the Canticle. We can
even throw in a photograph of the
dedicatee!
Fellowship Hour
The very sad and lonely sign-up
sheet for hosting the fellowship
gathering which follows each Sunday
service is, likewise still droopily
hanging on the “Sign-up” bulletin
board in the lower lobby.
Want to host but….
don’t want to host alone?
find clean-up daunting?
thinking the cost a bit out of
reach?
find it a bit too difficult to lug all
those yummy treats through the
snow and ice?
You’re in luck. We just happen to
have the diocese' premier problem
solver on staff.

Editor’s Note St. Francis is currently in the process of migrating the office files from computer-based software to cloud-based software.
This will involve learning new software and trying to get everything we do now on the old to work on the new. The process is sure to take some time and will undoubtedly suffer it’s share of bumps, bruises and detours.
The most visible of these ‘files’ is the Canticle. The poor thing started on a Mac, was dragged over to a PC and is now being shot into cyberspace. I confess the Canticle has had a strange few months of redesign followed by redesign, a bit of lag and that one issue I forgot to publish….or write.
I thank you for the patience you have always extended to me, I’ll do my very best to get all of the migration accomplished as quickly and as smoothly as I can.
Thank you, Shelly Frey
