Saint Francis of Assisi Parish

About this church

Saint Francis of Assisi Parish serves South Kingstown through two Catholic worship sites: the historic stone Saint Francis Church near downtown Wakefield and seasonal Saint Romuald Chapel by the beach in Matunuck. The parish describes strong liturgical and devotional life, formation for youth and adults, fellowship, and service. Knowing which site is open is essential because the chapel operates only in summer.

At Saint Francis Church, weekday Mass is celebrated at 7:00 a.m. except Wednesday, Saturday Mass at 4:30 p.m., and Sunday Mass at 9:00 and 11:00; the 9:00 service is livestreamed. Saturday reconciliation runs from 3:30 to 4:00. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, Saint Romuald Chapel adds Saturday Mass at 5:30 and Sunday Masses at 8:00 and 10:00. Youth ministry serves grades eight through twelve through monthly gatherings, but the page publishes individual dates rather than a fixed weekly hour. Visitors outside summer should not drive to the chapel expecting Mass, and all households should check the homepage for holy-day and seasonal changes.
