Hello and welcome to St. Francis of
Assisi Catholic Church in Cartersville, Georgia.
If you are a traveler or a newcomer you are part of a long tradition in
our Christian community. Jesus was born to parents on a journey, went to
Egypt as a baby and had an itinerant career. The favorite term for the
church in the documents of the Second Vatican Council is “Pilgrim
People.”
Less than one percent of our adult parishioners are native to
Cartersville and not too many more are native Georgians. More than half
of our members are from another country, most of them from Mexico. So if
you are new here, from somewhere else, welcome home!
People ask me all the time “How can I help you here at St. Francis?” Let
me tell you what I tell them. Never go home without talking to someone
you don’t know.
Again, welcome to St. Francis.
Fr. Dan Stack - Pastor
