"I am a christian who usually attends non denomination church, but came for a midnight service during Christmas and it was the most divine service! it was below 0degrees because of the snow storm and they said it was more quiet than how last year was. Other church service made it online but we were glad the snowstorm did not stop them from doing a mass. Unpretentious and thoughtful, the choir feels like broadway and brought tears to our eyes, the message was clear and a great reminder of how we need to focus on him above all, the interior is spectacular and we had a chat with one of the pastor who shared that they serve warm food to the homeless. He was patient, loving and almost made me want to serve in that church (If only I live here) They made it clear that they welcome everyone despite what you are going through, your color, background, gay or straight. I also thiught their christmas poster of what Joseph and Mary would look like in current days on NYC to be intriguing and beautiful."

"What a lovely experience praying and worshiping Christ this morning in New York City. There is the main church upstairs and the shrine below. Stunningly beautiful- a proper way to give honor to Our Lord. St. Francis of Assisi is a unique Franciscan community in the heart of New York City. The people of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi today join with those of past generations in creating an experience of Church that is genuinely welcoming, mission oriented, and Christ centered. In the spirit of St. Francis, we welcome men and women, people of all races and ethnicities, young and old, gay and straight. We welcome rich and poor, searchers and seekers, Catholics and people of other religious traditions."
