Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi Parish

Welcome, we are so glad you are here.

Welcome to the parish and school community of St. Francis of Assisi! Our patron, St. Francis has become one of the best known and well loved saints by Christians and non-Christians alike. There is something about this saint that really appeals to us. Perhaps we are drawn to his love for creation, nature, and all God’s creatures, great and small. We desire that which God desires for us, that there to be a peace and harmony, not only in our world, but in our inner lives. We see, in this man’s earthly life, a deeper quest for the meaning and purpose of life and how happiness can truly be attained by simply living out Christ’s Gospel calling by loving God and our neighbor, especially the poor and unloved. And what we discover in a radical way is how St. Francis gave up material things and especially his attachment to sin, for a life of simplicity and love joined to the saving cross of Christ! In short, the saint teaches us again the basic truth: that the most important things in life are not things at all.
