Easter Vigil 2024
The Easter Vigil was celebrated on Saturday, March 30, 2024. During the Easter Vigil the Church keeps watch and celebrates Christ's Resurrection, his passing from death to life. The Mass begins outside with the blessing of the Easter fire and the lighting of the Easter candle. At this Mass the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation are celebrated for those entering the Church. This year we had 10 individuals receive one or more of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil.
Good Friday 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.

Parish Mission

October 2-3, 2019
As part of our 175th anniversary celebration, St. Francis Borgia hosted a well-attended parish mission called “Life to the Full: The Transformation of Suffering into Glory.” It was held the evenings of Wednesday, Oct. 2 and Thursday, Oct.3 at the North Church. The focus of this two-night mission was to explore what it means to be human, God’s incredible plan for our humanity, and how Jesus comes into our lives to heal us and free us from all that keeps us hiding in sin, shame, and sorrow. The speakers were Father John Burns and Sister Miriam James Heidland, SOLT.
