    • You are welcome here!

      We seek to reflect the teachings of Christ and exude an enthusiasm for our Catholic Christian faith in Derwood and the surrounding communities in all that we say and do. Worship is the heart of parish life. Whether it is the warm greeting, the richness of our music, the celebration of the Word and Holy Eucharist – our parish fully embodies both a sacred and jubilant worship of the Lord.

      We invite all people, whatever their background, to hear Jesus Christ’s message of salvation. We promote an atmosphere with numerous opportunities to build one’s knowledge of Christ through education and faith formation activities. Faith formation is ongoing and life-long, with the goal that each person has the opportunity to continually deepen their relationship with Christ.

      We love our brothers and sisters as Christ loves us and demonstrate this love through active involvement in all aspects or parish life. All parishioners are encouraged to seek two or more activites to join, with many ministries providing small groups that enable meaningful connections to be forged. St. Francis feels like home and the doors are open wide to others.

      We serve as Jesus served – upholding the dignity of the human person, supporting the importance of the family, and meeting the need for compassion in our world. We continually provide our parishioners with ways to support those in need through opportunities for service, both in Derwood, and around the world. Every parishioner is called to share their gifts with others.

      Just as God asked St. Francis to rebuild his church, we are given a similar call. We willingly sacrifice to support the church, both locally and globally. We remain true to our vision and mission – both in our daily management of the parish, as well as our long-term planning. We ensure that St. Francis is continually growing, diverse, and fully alive.
