St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is offering adult group ESL classes to our non-English speaking community. We are offering two Level 1 Conversational English classes this term.

Training and curriculum provided.

Possible - morning or afternoon ESL classes: In order to provide classes for those students who can't attend in the evening, we are considering offering a morning or afternoon class two days a week. If you are interested in teaching ESL in the morning or early afternoon, please contact donna Waggener @ 901-756-1213 or donna.waggener@stfrancismemphis.org.
