Our Family · Nuestra Familia
A multicultural parish — everyone is welcome to share their faith, talents, and culture. Casa de San Francisco de Asís has been our Hispanic community since 1968.
Since 1901
Founded in 1901 by Bishop John W. Shanahan. Capuchin Franciscan friars walked these streets in brown robes for nineteen years. In June 2024, our parish welcomed Father Anthony R. Dill — a canon lawyer and son of this diocese — to lead us into our second 125 years. The first Spanish Mass was offered here in 1968. The Soup Kitchen has fed neighbors at the noon hour since 1981. The doors have been open through every change.
At the Table · A la Mesa
Every time I see this line, all I can think of is Jesus in the bread line.
— Father Manuel Avilés, OFM Cap.
The St. Francis Soup Kitchen has served hot meals to anyone who walks through the door, six days a week, since 1981. Dine-in 12:00–12:45 weekdays, plus Saturday take-out 11 AM–noon.
At the Altar · En el Altar
Whether you’re Catholic or just curious, the doors are open. You don’t have to know the responses. Come as you are.
Confessions: Sat 4:00 PM · Adoration: Thu 8–10 AM

La fe de nuestro pueblo · The faith of our people
Three traditions our community carries — passed from our grandparents in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, México, and beyond. They are part of the parish year as much as Christmas and Easter.
December 12 · Dec 12
Patroness of the Americas. The parish gathers before dawn for las mañanitas, then bilingual Mass and breakfast. The image of Tepeyac watches over the parish church year-round.
Coming of age
A daughter's 15th birthday Mass is one of the most joyful days at this parish. We schedule blessings on Saturday afternoons; talk to the office at least six months ahead.
Advent · Dec 16–24
Nine evenings, nine houses — we walk in procession with candles, knock on each door, and re-enact Mary and Joseph's search for room. Tamales, ponche, and the village of Bethlehem in the parish hall.
