Pope Saint John Paul II said, "The Parish is not principally a structure, a territory or a building, but rather, the family of God, a fellowship afire with a unifying spirit, a familiar and welcoming home, and a community of the faithful."
Our Parish is a vibrant, faith-filled community, made up of many people, living and working together - people from diverse backgrounds, from other parts of this country and from foreign countries. Together, we share our love of God - and are strengthened by that love to go out and live our lives according to the Gospel.
The Church of St Francis of Assisi has helped to bring Jesus Christ to the city of Rochester since 1937.
