What is St. Francis parish like? I might answer that best by quoting from part of our Parish Pastoral Plan:

     St. Francis of Assisi parish strives to be a Christ-centered expression of the family of God, nourished by Spirit-filled worship and ministries that impact, challenge, and empower people of all ages to serve one another in a spirit of community, stewardship and outreach.
     Jesus Christ, companion, Lord and Savior is the life-giving center of this community. The Eucharist is our font of nourishment, where with Jesus, we offer the Father praise and worship. We experience Christ' love and presence also in our many groups and ministries, in which we feed and nurture each other and the world around us. 
     We are a community of stewardship, sharing our time, treasure and giftedness with each other and the world. We believe that through our common Baptism, each of us is blessed with gifts of the Spirit to be used for the common good and the Glory of God. 
     We are a welcoming, evangelizing community, striving to be accepting and inclusive of all people. We are a community of outreach, ministering to the victims of society's sin and injustice with the resources God has blessed us. 
     St. Francis is a community committed to responding to the mandate of Jesus in John's Gospel: "Love one another as I have loved you."

     For more information on our weekly activities and events, go to our weekly Church Bulletin, or to any of the other sections (i.e. singles, youth) that you will find on our home page.
     If you are looking for nourishment for the soul, I suggest you visit Scripture Reflection -- a weekly meditation on the Sunday Gospel, or go to any of the convenient links on Catholic theology and spirituality.
     If you are far from us or cannot get out of the house, join us for Mass on Sunday.  Our Sunday, 10:30 a.m. Mass is livestreamed on the internet. Just click on the Sunday 10:30 a.m. Mass link.
     Finally, if you are in our area, please feel welcome to join us for Mass or any of our other events.
     May God's grace and peace be always with you.
