    • Holy God, We Praise Thy Name!

    • Many Thanks!

      I want to thank again the 150th Anniversary Commitee for their planning of the church celebration. The table decorations were great, food was tremendous, drinks were superb, attendance fantastic and the music and choir were stupendous!

      I was grateful that so many of you were able to attend along with all the Religious Women, Priests, the Knights of Columbus and the Archbishop to share in our festivities. Thanks to all who attended and made it possible. A good time was had by all!

      --  Father Joe

    • Celebration Mass Attended by Many Who Have Served Our Parish

      Archbishop Carlson presided at the 4:30 pm Celebration Mass held on Saturday, June 8, 2019.  Several priests from the Jesuit and Franciscan Orders were in attendance along with many former Pastors, Associate Pastors, and Religious Women who served at the parish over the years.  The Knights of Columbus provided their honor guard, and the parish choir added beautiful music to the very inspiring liturgy for all those who attended.

    • Jesuit Hall / Courtyard Reception

      Over 500 hundred people attended the dinner reception on Saturday to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the church dedication.   The rainy weather held off allowing many to spend the evening under the tent listening to the German band and catching up with the priests and religious who came back to Borgia for the event.  

    • Speaker Series Announced

      In celebration of the 150th anniversary of our beautiful Church, we will be hosting a Speaker Series throughout the spring.  Each speaker will offer topics of interest relevant to everyone in their faith journey.  Please plan to join us for these very informative events.


      SPEAKER SERIES SCHEDULE

      Lay Formation Director, Archdiocese of St. Louis

      Sunday, March 10 | 6:30 PM |St. Francis Borgia Church
       
      “His Sacrifice and Our Sacrifice, Entry into Lent”
       
      The significance of our union with Christ by Baptism and its impact upon our relationship with God, others and ourselves will be explored.  We will look at words of Sacred Scripture that touch upon ‘who we are’ in the eyes of God. Using select prayers of the Missal and paragraphs from the  Catechism of the Catholic Church we will a focus upon our participation in the Sacrifice of Christ, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. 
       


      KATHY HERTLEIN
      Dean of Theology, SFB Regional High School

      Sunday, March 31  |  2 PM  |  St. Francis Borgia Church

       
      "A Guided Tour of Our Church -
      History and Artwork Significance Explained"
       
      Our parish is rich in history passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation.  Kathy will share her knowledge of our parish history and church building offering insight into the stories behind the old photographs, explaining the significance of the Apostles on the ceiling, the scriptural stories of our historic stained glass windows and the artwork throughout our beautiful church.   For years she has shared this guided tour with the Borgia high school students opening their eyes to the beautiful details of our church.  Here is the opportunity for everyone to experience the story for themselves!
       

      DR. SHAWN McCAULEY WELCH
      Associate Professor of Moral Theology
      Kenrick-Glennon Seminary

      Sunday, April 7   |  7 PM   |  St. Francis Borgia Church
       

      "Mother Teresa, our Sister in Christ"

      Everyone loves a vocation story, in which someone feels called by Christ personally to embark on a mission. They are inspiring. But often these vocation stories are about the beginning of the beginning. We will look at an example of the vocation story of a saint, and how it evolves over a lifetime. All of us who want to be close to Christ have a vocation story. Our story may have moments of religious zeal and times of doubt. This is also true of our saint.
       



      BRIAN MILLER

      Executive Director for Catholic Youth Apostolate
      Archdiocese of St. Louis

      Thursday, May 23   |  7 PM  | St. Francis Borgia Church

       
      "Set the World on Fire"
       

      We all read the depressing statistics about the Catholic Church today, but what can you do? Come hear how you, as an everyday normal parishioner, can live as a missionary disciple and help rebuild our church.  Jesus Christ calls us to fulfill the great commission in Matthew 28.  Pope Francis calls us to live as and make more “missionary disciples.”   Brian will share the Church’s message about our fundamental duty as a missionary disciple to encounter Jesus, grow in love and knowledge of Him, and live as a witness of His love.  This is a perfect message for parishioners of all ages! 

       

      PATTY SCHNEIER
      Nationally-Known Catholic Speaker 
      From Archdiocese of St. Louis

      Thursday, June 6  |  7 PM  | Jesuit Hall


      "Unlock the Treasure"
       
      Often, we take our faith for granted—especially those of us who are life-long Catholics.  Year in and year out, we go through the same routine, and become quite comfortable in our spiritual life.  But there is so much more. . . .Our Catholic faith is inexhaustible in its depth, richness, knowledge and beauty.  Are you growing?  Are you tapping into the wealth of treasure that awaits you on your journey?  Or, are you content to settle for one small golden “coin”, when God wants to give you billions?  Unlock this treasure and experience the boundless mercy, unlimited grace and overwhelming joy of being Catholic!
