The Giving Tree

The Giving Tree exists to help facilitate the needs of the school with the parents of the school. Many items needed by teachers and other staff members at St Francis are items that may be otherwise unneeded by our parents and other family members. Please check the list below to see how you can contribute towards our school. Once an item has been donated, acknowledgement is noted here on our website as well as on The Giving Tree located just inside our school's main entrance.

The Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is doubt, faith;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
As to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
