Question
How does parking work for the ceremony location?

St. Francis of Assisi Parish has a beautiful campus and lots of space for parking! Parking is free, but we always recommend arriving a little earlier than expected to ensure you find a space!
Question
I'm not Catholic, but would like to be there for you both on your special day!
Answer
That's wonderful and we are blessed by your presence! We invite you to join us for the mass regardless. Before distributing the Holy Eucharist, the priest will instruct you to refrain from receiving the Eucharist and instead, cross your arms for a blessing.
