I was baptized here--or so they tell me. I have no memory of that event but it's a plausible story…read moresince they brought me here every Sunday for a few years. I don't know the community nowadays but back in the day it was vibrant with social and fund-raising events. Monsignor Mroczkowski (try to pronounce that) was the pastor from 1967 to 1986. Look up his obituary to see some high powered Catholic clergy credentials. He was revered by parishoners and became Pastor Emeritus. He had a good voice and ran the choir. I think his degree was in Gregorian chant. That title was conferred by the Pope, so we didn't address him as Father, but Monsignor. This would be a holy place to me even if it were not an official holy place. So many funerals. My people are gone.

My husband and I were married at St. Francis in June of 2010. The Church, itself, is beautiful…read more There is a high ceiling with a mural painted at the top, a large organ in the back balcony, and an alter that is minimally decorated but has marble pillars. The church is clean, well lit, and has a superior sound system. We wanted to be married in a Catholic church, even though my husband is not Catholic. This church was very understanding of our religious differences, and did not pressure conversion, pre-marriage counseling (although they recommended it), or a traditional ceremony. They seemed to understand relationships of the present time. The parish staff was wonderful throughout our entire experience. Maureen, who handles the weddings, was friendly and helpful. She responded to all questions (no matter how simple they were) in a timely manner. We also worked with Allen, the parish music director, who was friendly and also willing to help us out by singing some of the songs himself. On our wedding day, the church also provided us with two "day of" helpers. These ladies were also friendly and helpful. St. Francis has three ministers, so my husband and I went to some masses before to see how each of them conducted mass. We decided on Father Hoffman. He was very kind, and had great sense of humor. The mass he conducted on our wedding day was simple but relevant to our relationship. We couldn't have imagined a better ceremony. The only negative to St. Francis is the amount of money for additional instrumentalist, which is a separate professional company recommended by the church. My husband and I chose a violinist and trumpet player for an additional $200 each. Again, though, Allen was willing to do some of the other parts of our songs to save us money. Our wedding day was beautiful and surpassed what I would have possibly dreamed. I highly recommend St. Francis-Xavier if you're looking for a catholic wedding ceremony.
