Saint Francis of Assisi Parish
at Mount Saint Francis 

 

Saint Francis of Assisi Parish, now a vibrant faith community of over 1,000 families, began as a small mission community in the summer of 1981 with the faithful using the convent chapel of the Sisters of Saint Francis as a place of worship. In March, 1984 a "dream session" was held to consider how the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration and the Mission of Saint Francis might move to the future together, creating a "new model of parish". In the fall of 1987, Saint Francis of Assisi officially received "parish" status in the Diocese of Colorado Springs. Today it continues to grow and nurture the faith of its members.
