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
Congratulations to our Faithful Followers!
On Sunday, Oct. 27, we celebrated our annual Faithful Followers Dinner and honored an amazing group of dedicated parishioners: Stuart Chirichella, Ruben Gonzalez, Pat Pope, Dr. Gaetano Spinnato, and Juliann & Rosemary Tatulli for their stewardship to our parish. Congratulations and thank you for all that you do to support the St. Francis Community in faith and love.

Find time to spend with Jesus
Life is busy but we can find time for Facebook and our mobile phones. Find just one hour to spend with Jesus. Our mass schedule can accommodate you no matter what you have in store for the weekend. 
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. Michael on Thursday, and the Blessing of the Animals on Friday. We were so happy to see so many new faces with their special pets and we pray for all of those people and pets who walked in our door that night.
The St. Francis Giving Tree
Our little parish shows the strength of its big heart during the blessed Christmas season. Each year our parish family goes above and beyond to collect gifts for individuals in need. The Giving Tree has names of children and adults who might otherwise go without a gift. Please take a tag and return the gift in a gift bag to church by Dec. 15.
