Welcome to our parish web site. We hope that you will find information which is helpful to you, as a member of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, or as a visitor to our site.

Visitors:  You will find registration information below on this page, as well as how to inquire about joining the Catholic Church. Under "Church Information" you will find a  map and information about our parish, our patron saint, Mass times, and the celebration of Sacraments.

Parishioners: You will find information  about  our  upcoming events in  What's Happening.    Educational information can be found under Education for  Children; under Youth Ministry for High School Students  and under Adult Formation for Adults.  To find out how to register your child(ren) for Religious Education classes click on Education for Children and then Religious Education.  There is also information on registration for our St. Francis of Assisi Preschool.  Under Parish Committees and Organizations you will find the minutes of our Board of Education,  Parish Council, and some other committee meetings and an explanation of our various committees.  You may also link to the St. Francis Knights of Columbus website.  Check it out!

Registering in the parish is easy.  Registration cards are available on the south wall in the Gathering Area.  You may complete the card and drop it in the collection during Mass or you can come to the parish office during office hours.  We would love to have the opportunity to meet you and perhaps answer any questions you may have.  Our office hours are 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.

Are you interested in becoming a Catholic?
The process by which those who are not Roman Catholic can inquire into becoming members of the faith community is called the  Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).  This is a process whereby adults who are not baptized or who have been baptized into another Christian faith tradition are initiated into the Roman Catholic Church.  This initiation is a spiritual journey:  varied, individual and free. For more information click on Adult Formation, Becoming a Catholic.
