​​​Welcome to Our Parish Website!

​I am very happy to welcome you to our exciting St. Francis of Assisi Parish Website. Our intent is to reach you wherever you are. This will help us to stay connected as a Church family even when you cannot be physically present in the Church with the rest of the Church community. The Website will give you an amazing overview of the Church and its activities. I hope you will find it useful and can find all the information you are looking for. We have tried to make it as informative and user-friendly as possible. I want to invite you to browse through the various pages of our Website. 

​Our Church offers a number of ministries in which you can get involved in the Church. It is my prayer that all the parishioners who browse through this Website will be inspired to get involved in one or more ministries in our Church. Please give it some thought and prayer. All that we have comes from God. Let us give back to Him as good stewards by sharing our time, talent, and material resources with the Church. "Give, and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing will be poured out into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you” (Lk. 6:38). Have a great time browsing through the pages of this Website.

Metanoia - Ongoing Conversion
​A Parish Lenten Mission

Lent is a time of personal renewal and conversion. It is a time of reflection and preparation for the celebration of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We prepare for it in various ways. Spiritual preparations are the key. To help us in this, we have a Parish Lenten Mission presented by Fr. Bart Hutcherson, OP. Fr. Bart is a Dominican Friar and Priest of the Province of the Holy Name of Jesus in the Western U.S.A 
​
Due to the restrictions imposed on us all through the outbreak of the  Covid-19 Coronavirus, Fr. Bart has recorded his Lenten Mission and we present it to our fellow parishioners in a four-part series. 

This Mission will help us develop an understanding of four kinds of conversion :
Moral Conversion.
Intellectual Conversion.
Religious and Spiritual Conversion.
Vocational Conversion.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
Oración de comunión espiritual
Creo, Jesús mío,
que estás real y verdaderamente en el cielo
y en el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar. Os amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo vivamente recibirte dentro de mi alma, pero no pudiendo hacerlo ahora sacramentalmente, venid al menos
espiritualmente a mi corazón. Y como si ya
os hubiese recibido, os abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti. Amen.
