Confirmation 2024
The Sacrament of Confirmation was celebrated on Sunday, April 21, 2024 by Bishop Jeffrey Haines at St. Francis Borgia. Fr. Patrick Burns and Fr. Matthew Ferch concelebrated the Mass. 54 individuals from our parish were confirmed at this Mass. It was a beautiful celebration, and we pray that they will be strengthened by the gifts of the Holy Spirit as they discover and pursue Christ’s unique mission for their lives.
Good Friday 2021

April 2, 2021
The Easter Triduum continued with the service on Good Friday afternoon, celebrating Jesus’ saving death on the wood of the cross. This included the Passion narrative from St. John’s Gospel and veneration of the cross -- with the congregation coming forward to gaze at the cross and offer a gesture of respect to all that it represents.

Dedication of Infants’ Memorial

September 14, 2019
On Saturday morning, September 14, the St. Francis Borgia cemetery was the setting for a solemn gathering to commemorate the more than 60 million children lost to legal abortion since Roe v Wade in 1973. In addition, the newly installed infants' memorial was dedicated. Recent research using ground-penetrating radar at the cemetery revealed 197 unmarked graves, including 46 graves of stillborn and very young infants, born to poor parents unable to afford proper burial. Those graves are marked by crosses. The infants’ memorial and crosses are thanks to the generosity of our parish members and the Knights of Columbus. The service and dedication were led by Fr. Patrick Burns. The event was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and our Respect Life Committee.
