Welcome!
We're so happy you're here! St. Francis of Assisi is a Roman Catholic Church located in Fulton, MD. We are a Pastorate with St. Louis Parish in Clarksville. Join us for Mass, sacraments, small groups, outreach, and vibrant community. Come worship with us!

A pastorate denotes two or more parishes under the leadership of one pastor. Fr. Michael DeAscanis is our pastor for both St. Francis and St. Louis.
