Saint Francis Parish and Outreach

Saint Francis Parish and Outreach We are an Old Catholic Church in the Augusta, Georgia area. We are an inclusive and accepting church. All are welcome!

We are an affirming, Franciscan, Old Catholic Community that is focused on living the teachings of the Christ in a sacramental setting. We work to bring comfort to those who have been marginalized, forgotten, abused and are burdened not just in word but also in action. We believe the church should be a living witness to truth, freedom, peace, and justice for all people. We meet at the MCC of Our Redeemer Church located at 557 Greene Street in Augusta, GA (3:00 PM on Sunday).

Join us this Sunday for Mass at Saint Francis Parish and Outreach.

Our readings this week center on two things: where two or three are gathered together in his name, and the call to love our neighbor as ourselves. We talk about what real forgiveness looks like, and why love, tested by whether it actually causes harm, is the standard scripture gives us.

Love Does No Harm

Love is the plenitude of the law, and love does no harm. That is not a vague sentiment — it is a specific, testable claim. A direct look at forgiveness, honest confrontation, and why Christian Nationalism's treatment of immigrants and LGBTQIA+ people fails this test completely.

The Jesus We Actually Follow

Peter wanted a Messiah without a cross. So does Christian Nationalism. Get behind me, Satan, Jesus said, to the disciple who wanted an easier gospel. This Sunday's readings call us to a living sacrifice: not a single dramatic gesture, but a daily choice to live the real Gospel instead of just preaching at people.

Peter wanted a Messiah without a cross. So does Christian Nationalism. A reflection on the sacrifice of following the real Jesus, not a counterfeit.

Join us this Sunday for Mass at Saint Francis Parish and Outreach.

In our Gospel, Jesus gives Peter the keys of the kingdom, the authority to bind and to release. This Sunday we focus on the release half of that authority, and what it means for LGBTQIA people and immigrants living through a hard season.

This Mass is offered for all the deacons, priests, and bishops of Old Catholic Churches International.

The Keys That Bind and the Keys That Free

Today the Church remembers Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, patron of our sister parish's diocese in Flourtown, Pennsylvania. A direct reflection on what Old Catholic theology actually teaches about the keys of the kingdom: authority to bind those who claim Christian faith without living it, and authority to free everyone other churches have wrongly bound.

On the feast of our sister parish's diocesan patron, a reflection on Old Catholic theology of the keys of the kingdom: to bind, and to free.
