SFDS is an absolutely beautiful church with an even more beautiful group of parishioners. A warm, kind, inclusive and accepting Roman Catholic Church with a contemporary spin on Catholic mass through the usage of gospel music with a multi-cultural / multi-generational twist whilst maintaining all the key elements of a traditional mass.
There are so many ways to immediately get involved in the church if you want. Looking to be initiated into the Catholic Church? They have an incredible RCIA program. Looking to worship through song? Come join the most incredible choir! Wang to advocate for social justice through the church? Join the social justice ministry. And of course, you can never have too many acolytes and lectors.
All this is to say, if you’re looking for a place to truly find a sense of COMMUNITY, look no further than St. Francis de Sales. I promise you, you’ve never experienced a Catholic Church like this.
