The Men’s Club

The Men’s Club of St. Francis is formed around three general goals:

  • Parish Support
  • Outreach
  • Social Fellowship

Essentially, we are here to do things useful to the parish, to support other organizations in our parish and/or community, and to have a little fun and fellowship in the process.

Our Mission

  • As men of St. Francis of Assisi we are committed to living the Mission of the Parish.
  • We are committed to encouraging all men of the parish to work together in making St. Francis a strong faith community and enhance each man’s relationship with the parish.
  • We are committed to giving our time, talents, skills, and experiences to all of our parishioners.
  • We are committed to sharing, supporting, and being a community to each other.
  • We reach out to others, particularly those in need, by following the example of St. Francis, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
  • We are committed to providing resources for Boy Scouts, Eagle Scouts, and special needs of the parish.
  • We are committed to supporting annual events that promote faith sharing among the church community, such as, various fundraising events.

Our Activities

Casino Night
St. Francis Casino Night continues to be an amazing evening of fun and fellowship with parishioners and many guests. As a fundraiser, it has been a huge success raising over $310,000 for programs that include Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Youth Ministries, and in particular, to help our sister parishes, St. Timothy’s, Holy Family, and Immaculate Conception Church.

Men’s Club BBQ Chicken
An institution of St. Francis, the Men’s Club Chicken BBQ occurs four times a year, providing delicious chicken to parishioners and raising funds for the Scouts and a myriad of programs and projects throughout the parish.

Annual Golf Tournament
The Men’s Club and the Knights of Columbus Golf Tournaments are enjoyable days on the course to raise money for college scholarships for the active youth at St. Francis and our sister parishes.

Pancake Breakfasts
The Men’s Club host a monthly Pancake Breakfast on the last Sunday of the month. It is free to attendees, though many generously donate to the event. We earmark any proceeds to a specific St. Francis ministry each month.

Our Impact

Through its activities, the Men’s Club has provided financial support to:

  • Sister Parishes—an average of $22,000 per year.
  • Mobile Loaves & Fishes—an average of $6,000 per year.
  • St. Francis of Assisi Youth Ministries—an average of $4,400 per year.
  • Scouts—$1,000 annually.
  • $1,000 Scholarships – 76 scholarships awarded in the previous six years (Men’s Club/Knights of Columbus Golf Tournaments).

All these positive and helpful activities are fun events accomplished by the men of our parish, and we would like to share this opportunity of fellowship with you.
