St. Francis at 250 South Street. Items on sale include household goods, kitchen ware, furniture, clothing, and odds and ends. In addition, there will be raffles and a 50/50.

The Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart manage and staff Villa St. Francis which is a residence for senior women. The Sisters minister to fulfill the needs for age 60+ independent women who wish to be free from the burdens of maintaining their own home, meal preparation, housekeeping, and all the other tasks involved in single living while at the same time have companionship in their later years in a warm, caring family atmosphere. Proceeds of the tag sale go to help the Franciscan Sisters in this mission. Visit and follow their Facebook page for pictures, updates and upcoming events.
