St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church

Saint Francis of Assisi Houston

Our Church of Saint Francis of Assisi was established back in 1950, by Bishop Wendelin J. Nold, and the original parishioners were of Czech ad other European origins. Gradually over the years African Americans moved into the area after the whites departure. Current church dates from 1965, and it was designed with Saint Francis of Assisi in mind. It is hard notice it at first but the church was designed to resemble a cowl, the pointed hood worn by monks. Inspired by our faith in Jesus Christ, and rooted in the charism of St. Francis of Assisi, we actively welcome all people. We worship God through prayerful and inspiring liturgies, the celebration of the sacraments, and the devotional life of the Church. We witness to our faith by ministering to everyone, especially those who are poor, alienated or oppressed.
