HomeSt. Francis of Assisi, located in Middletown, Connecticut, is a Catholic parish established in 1903 to serve the South Farms area as well as the towns of Durham and Middlefield. The parish's first pastor was Rev. Patrick McGivney, sibling of Fr. Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus. A key aspect of the parish's mission is to "announce the Gospel to all creation," emphasizing inclusion and the importance of the Eucharist. St. Francis of Assisi participates in charitable initiatives, including providing 75 boxes of cereal monthly for the Amazing Families feeding families program and operating an intergenerational drop-in center for all ages.
