Welcome to our website, and most especially to St. Philip Benizi Roman Catholic Church. We are a Catholic community living the Spirituality of St. Francis within a diverse community of believers from many nations. We are the first Catholic Church in Clayton County, here in Jonesboro, Georgia, since our founding in 1967.

Thank you for your interest in our parish. You are welcome here and our staff of Franciscan Friars, Deacons and committed Lay staff are here to serve you. You may be a lifelong Catholic, a newcomer to our neighborhood, or someone interested in becoming a Catholic Christian. Whichever category you fit into, we are glad that the call of God has led you to us.

While our website is full of important information about our parish, we ask that you take another step further in faith and come visit us in person. We are “many parts, but we are all one body” in Christ, and here you will encounter the many rich cultures and diverse communities that form our family of believers.

Our schedule of Masses (daily and Sunday) and schedule for the Sacrament of Reconciliation can be found on this website.

Until we meet in person, in the spirit of St. Francis, we wish you and your loved ones “Peace and all good things!”

Blessings,

Fr. Russell Governale, OFM Conv.

Pastor
