Welcome
Welcome to the St. Francis web site! We celebrate the traditional Tridentine Mass in English every Sunday at 10 am and we invite you to stop by and join us. You are welcome to take Holy Communion, whether a Christian or not; whether divorced or not; whether you’ve ever taken communion before or not. We break bread with all to whom the Lord Christ would show love and compassion --- namely yourself.
Join us for refreshments afterwards, and do visit our library. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask our clergy or congregation members. St. Francis is not only a church, but is also a center that encourages community through the spiritual growth of every person.
We offer the Sacraments of Matrimony, Baptism, Healing and Holy Communion to all seekers, regardless of background. For more information use the email address given below.
Every first Sunday of the month, the Women's Guild holds a POTLUCK VEGETARIAN LUNCHEON after the 10am Holy Eucharist. Bring a dish and enjoy fellowship in our basement social hall. For $5, a family can feast on a variety of vegetarian entrees and desserts.

Our Heritage
The Liberal Catholic Church’s founding Bishops transformed a nearly insignificant Old Catholic movement in England into a renewed visionary Church, proclaiming the Gospel in a new light with great power. It was a revolutionary church built upon the foundation of:
- Freedom of Thought and Belief
- Free Interpretation of Creed and Scripture
- Communion Open to All Who Approach the Altar with everence
- Unconditional Love and Respect for the Divine Light in each Person
Our church holds that every person is a child of God, related and inseparably linked to one another. That which harms one harms all.
This web site is dedicated to those founding Bishops and to those who are now lighting new spiritual pathways for humanity.
