Our Mission ~ The St. Francis of Assisi community is a welcoming Christian family. We believe in Jesus Christ, and are guided by the Holy Spirit and the example of St. Francis. We gather to celebrate, to grow in the knowledge of our faith rooted in the Catholic tradition, and to recognize our responsibility to reach out to the world. |
You & Your Family
The life and vitality of St. Francis of Assisi thrives on the commitment of the many people involved in the various ministries of the parish. Currently, we have over 30 committees and ministries for all ages. We encourage you to consider participation in one or more of these areas. |
