I started coming…read moreto this Parish occasionally for confession since they have plenty of opportunity to go everyday, except Sunday of course. Then, as I started attending the mass, I could just feel the peace and radiance. As well as the faith filled homilies, that are easy to follow and full of great spiritual deepening words! I have grown so much in the last 3 years. However, my faith journey didn't really take off until 2025-2026, when I started attending mass on Saturdays and Sundays, then weekday masses and going to the Perpetual Adoration Chapel across the street once a week for a Holy Hour. I intend to keep this going and hope I can continue to grow in faith and holiness. Then, continue to lead others to do the same. There's a great community of friendship, love, non-judgemental, welcoming and the true Catholic faith! No sugar coating or wishy washy teaching. I love knowing and learning the full truth about my faith and how beautiful and miraculous it truly is! God Bless!

My husband and I were married at St. Francis in June of 2010. The Church, itself, is beautiful…read more There is a high ceiling with a mural painted at the top, a large organ in the back balcony, and an alter that is minimally decorated but has marble pillars. The church is clean, well lit, and has a superior sound system. We wanted to be married in a Catholic church, even though my husband is not Catholic. This church was very understanding of our religious differences, and did not pressure conversion, pre-marriage counseling (although they recommended it), or a traditional ceremony. They seemed to understand relationships of the present time. The parish staff was wonderful throughout our entire experience. Maureen, who handles the weddings, was friendly and helpful. She responded to all questions (no matter how simple they were) in a timely manner. We also worked with Allen, the parish music director, who was friendly and also willing to help us out by singing some of the songs himself. On our wedding day, the church also provided us with two "day of" helpers. These ladies were also friendly and helpful. St. Francis has three ministers, so my husband and I went to some masses before to see how each of them conducted mass. We decided on Father Hoffman. He was very kind, and had great sense of humor. The mass he conducted on our wedding day was simple but relevant to our relationship. We couldn't have imagined a better ceremony. The only negative to St. Francis is the amount of money for additional instrumentalist, which is a separate professional company recommended by the church. My husband and I chose a violinist and trumpet player for an additional $200 each. Again, though, Allen was willing to do some of the other parts of our songs to save us money. Our wedding day was beautiful and surpassed what I would have possibly dreamed. I highly recommend St. Francis-Xavier if you're looking for a catholic wedding ceremony.
