St. Francis Parish is a family-friendly, warm and welcoming parish that was founded in the Franciscan tradition in 1889. Built by Italian immigrants, the parish maintains a strong Italian heritage and offers mass in Italian on Sundays. Yet, the parish today reflects the best of old and new Hoboken: old world values and a rich diversity of people who share in God’s faith. We are an active parish with numerous faith-based orders, volunteer opportunities including the St. Francis Food Pantry, robust CCD and RCIA programs. Each Sunday we celebrate a Children’s Liturgy at 9:30 AM mass and we have a roster of active ministries. We are always looking for followers who can help make our parish even more vibrant. We invite you to join us for mass, to volunteer or just to learn more as part of your spiritual journey. God Bless you. – Father Chris
Volunteer for St. Francis Food Pantry
Every day more than 60 people who are in need, knock on the doors of St. Francis for a free lunch. Thanks to volunteers who help prepare and hand out sandwiches we are able to provide this service. Additionally, we provide nearly 75 bags of groceries each month to families in need. Please volunteer to help hand out sandwiches. We can use your help on Wednesdays and Fridays. Call Joyce or Joan at the rectory today. 201.659.1772.
