SFC Ash Wed Open House 2026

On February 18, we invited our supporters and friends to join us at St. Francis Center for a special Ash Wednesday Open House. Executive Director Damian Kabot and Director of Development Karen Vallecillo warmly welcomed our guests. Damian offered a heartfelt reflection on the meaning of Lent, on Saint Francis’s conversion, and on the opportunity to receive ashes as a public sign of turning our hearts back to God and toward one another. Our Franciscan friend, Br. Victor, then offered ashes to all who wished to participate in the sacred tradition of Ash Wednesday. Following the reflection and prayer, Damian and Karen led guests on a guided tour of the Center. Department supervisors shared how their teams serve each day, feeding, supporting, and walking alongside low-income families and unhoused neighbors. Guests were able to see firsthand how St. Francis Center lives out its mission as a community of hope. It was a beautiful and meaningful gathering, and we are so grateful to everyone who joined us. We look forward to welcoming you again next year!
