THE PARISH IS PEOPLE. The Church is a worldwide family and Jesus Christ's living body. We are members of the Church of Beaumont and make up the Catholic Community of St. Francis of Assisi of Orange that supports and strengthens all its members. Our missions is:

• To provide a place where the spiritual, and when needed the emotional, and physical needs of our parish community is met.
• To provide stewardship opportunities by sharing our time, talents, and treasure, through baptismal ministries.
• To provide support for lifelong religious education of children, young adults, and adults to broaden the understanding of our faith and faith development.
• To provide opportunities for out reach and collaboration with the ecumenical community to achieve harmony and corporation within our diverse ecumenical community.
• To provide a community that is drawn together and formed into a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit who molds us into God's kingdom, through Christ and his presence in the Eucharist.
