St. Francis Parish is one of the poorest parishes within the Diocese of Faisalabad. The majority of the people living here are daily wagers working at brick kilns and at the places of proprietors. The electricity load-shedding in Pakistan has intensified as the power shortfall crossed 6,000 Mega Watts, creating problems for the masses in the sweltering summer. This massive power outage has gripped many parts of the country, especially the villages. The villages routinely go without electricity for many hours. The weather during summer remains is sultry and dry with temperatures fluctuating between 30 degrees Celsius to 48 degrees Celsius. People are still extraordinarily strong in their Catholic Faith and love to attend daily and Sunday Masses regularly. If solar system is installed in the Parish, a proper atmosphere could be given to these poor people who come to Church for Mass and also prevent them from getting sick due to scorching hot weather. Every little donation will give a new hope to these people and enable them to grow more in their Catholic Faith.
