s the presence of the White Robed Benedictine Network in northern New Jersey and the metropolitan New York area, we at St. Francis's strive to make the world a more compassionate place through our ministry of the Word and Sacraments. A self-governing Catholic community, we have a mission of service to all. We appreciate that Jesus never really said "No" to anyone. Therefore, in the traditional spirit of Catholic Franciscan hospitality , we offer without question the Word and Sacraments to everyone who requests them. We at St. Francis are an open, affirming community dedicated to making available the sacraments to everyone. We welcome and celebrate the GBLT community as equal partners in the building up of God's Kingdom. Bound together by Christ's love, we support one another through these uncertain times by: Emphasizing the positive aspects of the faith, Approaching one another in openness on our journey of faith realizing we are at different points along the route, and Believing those things that the Christian community has always held and believed as annunciated in the Apostle and Nicene Creeds. We are Catholic in the truest sense of the word and share our history with other Catholic jurisdictions. You, like many before you, are probably surprised to learn that there are "other" Catholic jurisdictions. Catholicism provides a quick overview of 2,000 years of Catholic development and links to a more detailed history. We often serve Catholics in the Roman jurisdiction and others seeking outdoor weddings or having prior marriages. They initally approach us because of our non-judgemental approach to weddings and the other scaraments.
