Easter 2016 (3/27/16) The women of Saint Francis have a tradition of wearing hats on Easter Sunday as a sign of support for those who have in the past or are currently battling cancer.  This year, we were blessed to have two of our local media outlets join us to share this story.  Thank you Tyler Morning Telegraph and KETK NBC 56 for a job well done.
