St. Francis of Assisi Church exists to be the Roman Catholic community of believers in Jesus Christ in Haskell and Wanaque areas.
The highest priority of the parish is the spiritual development of all parishioners.
Through the emphasis given to worship and spirituality, as well as programs and activities in religious education, family ministry, youth and young adult ministry, social outreach, and a concern for social justice, the parish brings all members into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, a love of the Church, and the need to transform our society into a world of greater compassion and justice.
