St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi in Donaldsonville, Louisiana is part of one of the oldest Catholic communities in the United States, with roots stretching to 1772 — predating the town itself by half a century. Under the Diocese of Baton Rouge, the parish carries the mission to "continue Christ's redemptive work through evangelization, sanctification, and service to the poor," with weekday morning Masses on Wednesday through Friday and a Sunday morning celebration in this historic Mississippi River city.
