Corpus Christi Procession 2023

On Sunday, June 11, 2023 we celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi. Fr. Kevin Tanel celebrated the Mass at 12 p.m. at the South Church which was also his first Mass at St. Francis Borgia after his recent ordination to the priesthood. A Eucharistic Procession followed Mass, and the Knights of Columbus held a cookout following the procession for all in attendance.

May Crowning at the Shrine 2016
May 1, 2016May is the month of Mary, and one way to celebrate it is with the Procession and Crowning of the Image of the Virgin Mary. This was held Sunday, May 1, after the 10 a.m. Mass. Fr. Tom Eichenberger, along with First Communicants, their families and other parishioners, processed from the plaza bell tower to the Shrine to Mary on the parish grounds. At the shrine, they sang the litany of Mary. Two children – one from Catholic school and one from Christian Formation – crowned the statue of Mary. Click to view gallery.

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.
