St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church

About this church

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Whiteriver, Arizona, is a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gallup. The diocesan parish page lists Mass on Sundays at 9:00 a.m., with confessions available before Mass. The church is located at 9 West Elm Street in Whiteriver, and the mailing address is PO Box 679, Whiteriver, AZ 85941. The parish office can be reached at 928-338-4432. Because the schedule on the diocesan page is brief, first-time visitors may want to call ahead to confirm the Mass time and ask about any seasonal or holiday changes.

The parish also has its own website at stfranciswhiteriver.org, which may carry more on current events and parish life. The Diocese of Gallup covers northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico and maintains offices for youth ministry, Native American ministry, family life and catechetical ministry that support parishes across that area. For anyone who cannot attend in person, the diocese streams a Mass each Sunday on its website, Facebook and YouTube. The diocesan page does not describe specific parish programs such as religious education classes, youth groups or Bible studies, so questions about those are best directed to the parish office by phone.
