Pastoral Ministry at St. Francis High School is inspired by the ideals and words of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi, “for it is in giving that we receive” and seeks to foster the personal and spiritual growth of each person in the school community. It is a ministry to, for, by, and with young people, as well as the entire community —faculty, staff, parents, families and alumni. St. Francis High School shares the vision to live every day in the presence of Jesus Christ. Being a Catholic school it is very keen in the school's attempt to provide understanding for their religious community.

Pastoral Ministry provides opportunities for prayer and worship, retreats, justice and service, ministry leadership formation, pastoral care, and community building.
