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

St. Francis Feast
We are blessed to have had so many people celebrate the Feast of St. Francis with us. The church hosted a Triddum with Mass on Wednesday, a Birthday Celebration Mass for our dear Fr.
