Adventures of Flat Francis

Posted on by Wende Aubrey

This summer we hope to provide Flat Francis with many adventures as he gets to know our young (and young at heart) parishioners. Through Flat Francis’ travels, our parishioners will learn what makes each of us special.

Personalize Flat Francis: Color Flat Francis to make him recognizable (or use the color version if you prefer)

  1. Take Flat Francis on Adventures: Take Flat Francis with you wherever you go. Whether it’s to the park, the grocery store, or on vacation, bring Flat Francis along and take photos of him in different locations and doing various activities.
  2. Document the Adventures: Take photos of Flat Francis in different places and situations. Be creative and have fun with it! You can take photos of Flat Francis with landmarks, with interesting people, or participating in fun activities.
  3. Share the Photos: Share the photos of Flat Francis’ adventures with us. Tag St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church (@sfxmw ) on Facebook; or you can submit a single photo, create a scrapbook, photo album, or digital slideshow to document all of Flat Francis’ travels (Paula.Silliman@sfxmw.com) Note: By submitting your photos, you grant St. Francis Xavier Church permission to post images across all social media and print platforms.

Optional: Send Flat Francis on a Journey: If you want to make it even more exciting, you can send Flat Francis to friends or family who live far away and ask them to take photos of him in their hometowns. Reflect and Share: After the challenge is complete, reflect on Flat Francis adventures and share your favorite photos and memories with others. It’s a great way to learn about different places and cultures while having fun!

Patricia K. French Scholarship Winner 2024

Posted on by Wende Aubrey

Congratulations to Brenden Zygmunt for being awarded the Patricia French Honorary Scholarship.  This scholarship was established and awarded for the first time in 2017 with an objective to honor Patricia K. French by recognizing and financially supporting a deserving member of the St. Francis Xavier Community with tuition assistance for college or vocational school. To qualify, students must be SFX parishioners in their senior year of high school, demonstrate a solid work ethic, and be a service-oriented person of high Christian moral values.

Brenden Zygmunt, son of Kim and Michael Zygmunt, fulfilled all these requirements and more. He has shown his dedication to his education at Bullitt East High School through his academic performance as well as his involvement in Beta Club, National Honor Society, Leaders of East, Marching Band, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz & Pep Bands. Brenden’s service-oriented attitude extended past the doors of Bullitt East. He participated in the Lions Club Dare to Care, has been an altar server, a member of the SFX Youth Group, and as a young adult, a member of the Knights of Columbus. He exemplifies the kind of person for whom the Pat French Scholarship was intended and does honor to her memory. Congratulations Brenden!
