Saint Francis of Assisi Parish is built on a foundation of faith. We continue that spirit by welcoming all people to participate in our spiritual growth. As we are called to love God and be an example of his teachings, we strive for unity through fellowship and participation in all areas of Catholic faith.

"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
