Saint Francis

The Rev. Dr. John Forney's Sermons

John is an Episcopal priest living at Pilgrim Place and supplying the Saint Francis Episcopal Mission in San Bernardino, CA.

Many of his friends delight in his weekly sermons, so I have decided to supply them as part of my website! I am offering them as PDF files you may read online or download to your computer.

Please respond to me with questions or comments which I can forward to John. (Watch for a contact link soon.)
