At St. Francis, we recognize that, for our clergy and chaplains, learning never ends. We are proud to offer these opportunities for our community to grow in ministry.
Feeling a little anxious about those
first weddings? Need some practise?
Still feeling a little unsure of yourself as you work with couples?
You aren't alone.
You’ve taken the course, you’ve got your business cards, and you might even have couples calling…. But you are still feeling a wave of nervousness as you consider weddings on the horizon.
