The Mission of Saint Francis is a Catholic community outside the institutional church, dedicated to making the world a more compassionate place. Guided by its own Bishop we celebrate the same sacraments and follows the spirit of reform initiated in Vatican Council II. During much of the first eleven hundred years after Jesus, there was only one church that developed different traditions. Everything from the way the Mass and sacraments were celebrated to the date of Easter and celibacy were interpreted differently.

Many who come to us are filled with a hurt or a longing not met in the institutional church. Here we hope they find an openness and acceptance that is a reflection of Christ’s love. Put simply, we follow Christ’s two commandments: to love God and to love one another as He loved us, wholly and completely.

If you have been rejected because of a previous marriage, you are welcome here. If now you can’t believe the religion taught you as a child but still want a sacramental relationship with God, here is your home. If there are barriers in your relationship with God, then we wish to be with you in loving compassion.
