St. Francis of Assisi Church

About this church

At St. Francis of Assisi Church in Teutopolis, the Saturday vigil starts at 4:30 p.m.; Sunday Mass follows at 6:30, 8:30, and 10:30 a.m. Weekday worship includes 6:30 a.m. Mass Monday through Friday and additional 8 a.m. Mass on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Livestreamed and previously recorded liturgies are available online. The range from early weekday prayer to three Sunday choices gives local families and travelers unusual flexibility, though reconciliation and holy-day schedules should still be confirmed on the parish calendar.

The church's identity is inseparable from Teutopolis history. German Catholic immigrants founded the town in part to preserve their faith, and Franciscan friars have served the community for more than 160 years. The adjoining Monastery Museum occupies former novices' rooms and preserves the story of the friars and early pioneers; in 2026 it is scheduled to open on first Sundays from May through November. Parish life also includes children's and adult choirs, religious education, service to people facing spiritual, emotional, or physical difficulty, and support for Catholic family formation. A first visit can therefore combine active parish worship with a tangible encounter with the town's German Catholic and Franciscan heritage.
