I hate to bother everyone, but my family could use some help. We need $200 for food and gas to make it to payday. So much has hit us at once with my own health issues and trying to catch up after my wife’s hospitalization.
If you would be so kind as to help, here are some ways you can donate:

Thank you so much for your help!

I don’t stay silent. And no one wants to come to church anymore. They prefer Christian Nationalism. But I refuse to bend the knee to Trump and the Christian Nationalists.

Narrator’s Voice (Morgan Freeman): But the jobs were replaced by Ai.
I am an American. I am happy the US lost to Belgium. After all the crap dictator Drump did to try to rig the games, we don’t deserve to win.
Spare me the whole spill about it not being the players fault. They had no problem playing last night with their red card player’s ill-gotten reprieve and benefiting from Drump and #fifa corruption. They are just as guilty as he is!
Join us this Sunday for Mass at Saint Francis Parish and Outreach.
We continue our series The Kingdom Worth Everything with week four: YOKE. Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you... for my yoke is sweet and my burden is light." This Sunday we talk about what it means to trade the burdens we were never meant to carry for the one that actually fits.
This Mass is offered for the growth of our parish family.

I moved our mastodon #instance to #ReliableSite and after one month of service they announced that they suddenly need to increase the cost of our dedicated server from $20 a month to $50. They claim the post of replacement parts has gone up so they must pass that cost on to others. I am beyond pissed. Now I have to find another dedicated server and migrate again for the third time in 3 months!
This is why #mastodon is not better embraced by people.
Join us tomorrow for Mass at Saint Francis Parish and Outreach.
Tomorrow is our Pride Mass, and we are dedicating this Sunday's liturgy to honoring our LGBTQIA+ friends and family. After a beautiful day at Augusta Pride, we come to the table together to celebrate the people this community loves and the God who loves them first and without condition.
This Sunday's Mass intention is offered for all our LGBTQIA+ friends and family. The sermon continues our series The Kingdom Worth Everything with the word CROSS. The readings from Matthew 10 ask the question this community has been living all week: what does it cost to follow, and why is it worth it?
Come as you are. Bring someone with you. The table is open.

What a day!
Saint Francis Parish and Outreach was at Augusta Pride 2026 today at the Augusta Exchange Club Fairgrounds, and we are so grateful for everyone who stopped by our booth, said hello, took our materials, and let us say to your face what we have been saying from the pulpit for years: you are welcome here. No exceptions. No conditions. Ever.
To everyone who donated to make today possible: thank you. You put us in that space. You made it real. The people who came by our booth and found out that a church in Augusta means it when it says all are welcome, those conversations happened because of you.
This is what the Church is supposed to look like. We will keep showing up.

Come find us at Augusta Pride this Saturday, June 27.
Saint Francis Parish and Outreach will have a booth at the Augusta Exchange Club Fairgrounds, and we want to see you there. Whether you are part of our community already or you are hearing about us for the first time, stop by and say hello.
We will have information about who we are, what we believe, and why we mean it when we say all are welcome. No exceptions. No conditions. Ever.
If you have been looking for a church that sees you, affirms you, and refuses to turn you away, come find us on Saturday.

🎙️ New episode of Expanding Your Faith: "Faithful and Fearless: The Legacies of Troy Perry and William Brothers"
Rev. Marc Trimm and Bishop Greer honor two pioneering figures who refused to let the Church remain exclusive -- Rev. Elder Troy Perry, who founded Metropolitan Community Church in 1968 as a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ Christians, and Bishop William Brothers, who organized the Old Catholic Church in America in 1916 as a home for those the institutional Church had left behind.

Can someone please help me? I have white Karen’s on Facebook claiming I am making this about race. Where did I do that? Genuinely curious. I am not perfect and if I said something wrong, I really want to know so that I can do better.
Now back to praying for her and crying.
Whistleblower account
A poor African American woman experienced a #medical #emergency today at #Piedmont #Augusta and the response from the staff was so abysmal. The balled headed white #nurse refused to help saying, “It is against the law for me to help in the parking lot.” This is not #healthcare.
The tall black man in a suit is from administration. He refused to talk to me about it while taking statements from all the other witnesses. He threatened to have me trespassed for waiting to finish with the police. Trespassed for helping try to save her life!
On top of that, an Augusta, Georgia Fire Dept #firefighter decided to chew me out for parking in a fire lane. I parked there to get out and help try to save a life. Not thanks for helping. Nope. You are parked where you shouldn’t. Yes, I should have waited to find a better parking place and not render aid.
Yolanda of Piedmont Security heard me tell someone about the refusal of care by the nurse and started demanding I leave. This is how much Piedmont cares. People stop using Piedmont until they change!!
Other witnesses and I tried to save her. Pray for her and pray Piedmont finds a heart and a soul.
A big thanks to the nurses and staff who did their job, who had compassion, and who rendered aid. You are the angels in this terrible story!
Btw, I had to leave Piedmont or get trespassed. And I sitting in a parking lot on Washington Road still shaking and crying. I am trying to calm down so I don’t stress my already bad heart. I know, what a wuss.
Today is Juneteenth.
On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were finally told what had been true for two and a half years: they were free. The Emancipation Proclamation had been signed in January 1863. Freedom had been declared. And the declaration took that long to reach the people it was meant to free.
Saint Francis Parish and Outreach honors Juneteenth as a sacred day. We honor the resilience, the faith, the suffering, and the beauty of Black Americans whose ancestors built so much of this country while being denied the most basic recognition of their humanity.
We also name, plainly, that the work of freedom is not finished. The community that gathers at our table includes people of color who live with the daily weight of a country that has not yet made good on its founding promises. We see them. We stand with them. We will keep saying so.
Happy Juneteenth.
