What a beautiful Church, it's truly stunning, inside and out. It is also the Kennedy Family's favored Church when in Hyannis, and there is a pew with their nameplate in the front rows, where they sit. The services are beautiful, and old fashioned, and the atmosphere is very old school.
We love this little church. Lots of masses. Several masses in other languages. Darling place. Lovely priests.
Too many people vist St. Francis expecting something like a movie set. It's just one of our many local RC churches. Not spectacular, not flashy. It is a quiet place, a comfortable place, a place to sit and think or pray.

I sat in the exact...

Cute little church, not far from Main Street. The benches were very narrow and uncomfortable but other than that the church was nice.
This church isn't much to look at from the outside. It's very simple on the inside as well. However, it's a part of history. Crazy to think that such big celebrities like Maria and Arnold got married in such a small, unassuming place. Don't go here if you're expecting a European-esque church, because you will be sorely disappointed! This is...

As one of the docents for the St. Francis tours, I wanted to clarify a few things I read above. The President and Jackie Bouvier were NOT married at St. Francis, as they were married at the church of the bride in Newport, RI. However, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzeneggar were married there. Also Joe Kennedy Sr.'s funeral was held...
