Mission Statement The Mission of St. Francis Church is to encounter the love of Christ through

worship, service, and charity. In following the traditions of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi, we dedicate ourselves to providing a welcoming and engaging community of

faith, ministering to the poor and the sick, educating the faithful, and caring for God’s creatures as “The Little Church with the Big Heart.”

In the Christian life, it is not enough to be knowledgeable: unless we step out of ourselves, unless we worship, we cannot know God. Christian life is a love story with God. – Pope Francis
