- History
  
  "Attracted by the colonization efforts of Illinois residents Dr. Guy Clifford Powell and the Rev. Francis J. O'Reilly, German-Catholic settlers began moving here in 1907. The pioneers formed the nucleus of the St. Francis Parish. Plans for a town failed, but a strong rural and agricultural community developed with the church as the spiritual, cultural, and social center. Once the site of a railroad depot and a school, the St. Francis Catholic Church community has retained its identity and has continued to reflect its pioneer heritage despite nearby urban growth." - 1983 - Texas Historical Commission

  Pope urges mission societies to have faith, courage, creativity
  
  The "basic dynamism" of the Catholic Church is its missionary outreach, an effort that should and must flow naturally from a desire to share the love of God and the gift of faith, Pope Francis said.
  
  Indifference, individualism, fuel throwaway culture, pope says
  
  Christians must be ready to respond with love and charity to those in need, especially the victims of today's throwaway culture, Pope Francis said.
  
  Pope: Christian politics must be marked by love, respect
  
  For politics to be "the highest form of charity," as Catholic social teaching promotes, it must be exercised with full respect and even love for those who disagree, Pope Francis said.
