St Francis Borgia Church

What St Francis Borgia Church does

St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church is a nonprofit Catholic parish located at 115 Cedar Street in Washington, Missouri, founded in 1834 by twelve German Catholic families and now operating under the Archdiocese of St. Louis. It serves over 1,400 registered families across the Washington, MO metropolitan area, delivering the seven Catholic sacraments, daily and weekend Masses, faith formation programs for preschool through eighth grade, the RCIA/OCIA process for adults becoming Catholic, funeral liturgy planning, and community outreach including a Food Pantry, Respect Life ministry, and Christmas Outreach. The parish runs an affiliated grade school (St. Francis Borgia Grade School, K-8) and maintains a multi-generational community with documented five-generation family continuity and members spanning ages from newborn to 108 years old.

The parish monetizes primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings (weekly offertory collections, suggested 10% biblical tithe), supplemented by recurring online giving via the OSV (Our Sunday Visitor) platform, special collections, facility rentals (Jesuit Hall), IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, and merchant-affiliated giving through IGive Catholic. All sacramental services are provided free of charge. Its core technology stack consists of third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: OSV for payment processing, the myParish mobile app (iOS/Android) for communications and daily readings, the FORMED platform for faith formation content, the Augustine Institute Amen App for prayer, Flocknote for email/text communications, and YouTube for global livestreaming of Masses.

Distribution spans in-person worship (four weekend Mass times, six weekday Mass times, scheduled Confessions), digital channels (website, mobile app, YouTube, email/text), and community partnerships with local funeral homes (Nieburg-Vitt/Miller, Oltmann) and an inter-parish collaboration with Our Lady of Lourdes for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The parish governance includes a Pastor (Father Jeff Maassen), Associate Pastor, three Deacons, a Parish Council, Finance Commission, Liturgy Commission, Stewardship Commission, and School Board, all operating under Archdiocesan authority.
