Spirituality
The Women of St. Francis offer ways for women to grow in their spiritual life, including praying the Rosary as a group, the May Crowning of Mary, and Corporate Communion, where we attend Mass as a group.
In addition, The Advent and Lenten Companions, published by Magnificat, are provided to our membership to prepare for the celebration of the Birth of our Lord and to unite our hearts and minds as we recall the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Jesus.

Prayer to Our Lady of Good Counsel
​
God of Heavenly Wisdom, You have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus,
to be our guide and counselor. Grant that we may always seek
her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed
presence in the life to come.
​
Oh, Mother of Good Counsel, Patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women, intercede for us that we may be wise, courageous, and loving leaders of the Church. Help us, dear Mother, to know
the mind of Jesus, your Son.
​
May the Holy Spirit fill us with reverence for God’s creation and compassion for all God’s children. May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign of God. And may God’s gifts of faith
and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come.
Amen
