Mision San Francisco y Santa Clara

The Saturday Portuguese mass at Missão São Francisco e Santa Clara is a welcoming experience, often starting with the rosary, and creates a strong sense of community, especially for Brazilians.

The church features a striking golden crucifix and colorful stained-glass windows that filter light beautifully, enhancing the atmosphere during services.

The community is very welcoming; there always seems to be an open seat, making everyone feel at home, whether they are alone or seeking solace.

Visitors appreciate the priests, staff, and volunteers, describing them as very nice and making people feel like family.

The church has a lovely chorus group for the Spanish mass on Sundays at 12:30 pm and also supports the Portuguese mass on Saturdays at 7 pm.
