Parish Mission
St. Francis of Assisi is a diverse community of faith rooted in Christ. We follow the Roman Catholic tradition seeking to become a people utterly inspired by faith and devotion to God, as lived by St. Francis. The center of our life is the Eucharist, where we come to know Christ in one another, in Sacred Scripture, and in Sacrament.
We strive to become a family with hearts open to all, sharing the joy of God’s Word and the challenge of on-going spiritual growth. We labor to transform society through acts of social justice and charity, to promote peace, and to ease the burdens of poverty, illness, and discrimination within our parish and larger community.
