What's new



  Fr. Aaron Cappucci is now officially Rector!

At 10:00AM on Saturday, September 2, 2023, Diocesan Bishop Ryan Reed, assisted by the Ven. Tom Hightower, Archdeacon, and the Rev. Kerwin Wade, Bishop's chaplain, visited St. Francis to institute Fr. Cappucci as our Rector, in a beautiful and thoroughly festive service. Fr. Jason Patterson (Fr. Cappucci's friend and colleague from St. Mark's in Rydal, PA) was the preacher. So begins an auspicious new chapter in the life of the Parish.

Welcome to St. Francis!

We welcome you to join us in a warm and friendly setting for true, Christ-centered worship. We maintain the ancient faith of the Church in the Anglican tradition, upholding traditional Christian values based on the Holy Word of God, and are faithful witnesses to the person of Jesus in the Austin community.
 
St. Francis' liturgical standard is the 1928 Book of Common Prayer—a document which is orthodox in its expression of the Christian faith based on prayers that have been part of catholic worship for 2000 years.
 
In a world where biblical values seem to change with each new interpretation, St. Francis Anglican Church stands for biblical truth which does not change with each passing generation. If you are concerned about shifting social mores, want to be the Christian that God wants you to be and need guidance on that often difficult path, and want to be challenged each week to work toward that goal, we hope that you will visit and experience our worship and values first hand. 

Parish activities 

  • Weekday Worship Services
      Evening Prayer: Thursdays at 7 p.m. During this simple but beautiful service, the prayers and lessons are said and the canticles are sung without accompaniment. Everyone is welcome to attend.
  • Christian Education
      Sunday school classes are underway for the 2023-24 school year. Classes for youth meet at 9:30 AM, September through June. Each Sunday, the youth attend the 9:30 service and leave at the announcements. There are two classes: one for children in grades 5 and under, and one for grade 6 and beyond. All classes are Biblically based with activities geared to helping the students remember so that they can practice what is taught. All St. Francis youth and friends are warmly welcomed.
  • Prayer Groups
      St. Francis has an active intercessory group. If you would like to place a name on the list, please use the prayer intention box on the south side of the church to submit your request.
      Prayers for the Nation: This monthly service is scheduled for the first Saturday of each month. Join us at 10 AM in the parish hall for hymns, prayers – both printed and extemporaneous – on seven centers of prayer: Government, Church, Family, Military, Education, Business, and Media/Entertainment.
      Mothers' Prayer Group: The 3rd Friday of the month at 12:00 noon. Join this group of mothers as they pray for a solid hour of prayers of adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication.

      Our home groups are ready to welcome anyone who wishes to join them. Please contact Steve McCown, Doug Cooper, or Amy Crandell to inquire as to what their home group is doing.
