St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church respects your privacy. This page explains, in plain words, what this website collects and where it goes. Questions? Call the parish office at (717) 232-1003 or email [email protected].
What you send us
- Contact form: your name, email, phone (if you give it), subject and message.
- Prayer requests: your name, email and the intention you share.
- OCIA registration: the details on the form, such as your contact information and the sacraments you are asking about.

How we use it and where it is kept
Form messages are emailed to the parish office and saved in the parish’s Google account (Google Forms and Sheets) so staff can follow up. We use what you send only to answer you, pray for your intention, prepare you for the sacraments or schedule your volunteer shift. We never sell, rent or trade your information.
