Episcopal College Ministry at Prairie View A&M

Faith Formation

The College Ministry Program supports the Canterbury Association, the Anglican Student Association at Prairie View A&M University.

Part of the outreach for the College Ministry has been through the hosting of the student-athletes at the university. Once a month, the Committee hosts an athletic team for dinner and fellowship. The students receive a great home-cooked meal and they have an opportunity to share their stories, both personal and professional and spiritual journies.

Some of the teams hosted include, women's soccer, women's bowling, the men and women's tennis teams, track and field and softball. The members also hosted the students in the Juvenile Justice and Psychology Club.

Canon John Newton from the Diocese of Texas's office also came and shared in the experience with the students and pledged his support for the ministry with a financial contribution from the Diocese.

Men's Prayer Breakfast

Faith Formation

Since its inception, the program has enjoyed tremendous involvement and participation with a dynamic group of young men from the community, the university and other surrounding cities of Prairie View.

The breakfast is designed to inform and educate the senior and junior men living in the Prairie View area on issues pertaining to their spiritual, physical, mental, health and economics and to encourage Christian and servant leadership and nutritious dialogue among the men in the community.

The monthly breakfasts are organized and setup in the Parish Hall and occasionally we used the Rectory when it was vacant. To date, the breakfasts have been a tremendous love of service and labor and do not cost the attendees anything to attend. The men of St. Francis have taken the responsibility for funding the event. We did however take up a generous donation for one of the events.

The free event is open to all. Please confirm attendance by calling 936-857-3272 or email: stfrancispv@sbcglobal.net.
