Pastoral Care
At St. Francis Episcopal Church, we care for those in our church community, including the sick, homebound, and those in need. Clergy are on call and can provide pastoral care for any church member who has an emergency. Other church members are also available to help.
If you need pastoral care in an emergency, call 1 (703) 759-2082 x 102.
