Groundbreaking is four months from today! The excitement is building and plans are being made to welcome Bishop J. Peter Sartain and the St. Francis High School family to the ceremonial groundbreaking on June 1, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. 
 
We are in the home stretch of the completion phase of our capital campaign that began February 18, 2009. Since that time, over $1.1 million in new money has been pledged toward the $2 million goal.  This is a true testament to the generous people of the St. Francis community. If you would like to consider a naming opportunity to recognize your family or a loved one, please review the remaining items available below.
