Holy Week at St. Francis Parish
Thank you for your interest in St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, often referred to as "the church on the hill" due to our beautiful location on a hill, situated on 15 acres of former farmland in East Dracut.
Our faith community is closely connected through the Eucharist, prayer, service and friendship; and we involve all ages in our vibrant parish life. We hope you will enjoy learning about our faith-filled Catholic community through our website.
All are welcome to Lenten Fridays 6pm Mass followed by Eucharistic Adoration, Prayer Service, Confessions and Benediction at 8pm.
The next Fridays are (final) March 31.
