Who we are
Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church!
In 1908, approximately 40 Dutch families worked together to commit themselves to build a parish and school where they could worship in praise and adoration as well as educate and form the youth. In 1909, the parish was established and a few years later in 1912, the school was opened.
Our parish and school grew from such humble beginnings by following the example of our patron St. Francis of Assisi. Above all he wanted to bring people to a simple, childlike acceptance of the Gospel in their lives and a sincere imitation of the poor, humble, and suffering Christ.
United with his legacy of service to the poor was his deep love for the Eucharist that flowed into his prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Centered in the Eucharist we are called to encounter, follow and imitate Jesus’ way of life through the humble example of our patron.
We are called and challenged to experience the Eucharist as the center of our lives and worship. Together we strive to faithfully live the Gospel here in Roy as one family united in Christ.
We are a vibrant community blessed with many organizations and activities. We invite you to review the informational provided and invite you to share your time, talent, and treasure to add to our faith-filled community.
May you and your loved ones feel welcome and at home at St. Francis of Assisi Church.
In Christ’s love,
Rev. Michael Vuky Pastor

St. Francis Steak and Ham Dinner History
In 1968, the parishioners of Roy’s St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church put on their first annual Steak Bourguignonne and baked ham dinner. Since then, a few things have changed, but a whole lot of deliciousness has remained the same.
That first dinner was held Sunday, March 24, 1968. The charge for adults was $1.75. Steak slightly outsold ham, with a total of 1,227 meals served and a profit of $1,600.30. For a number of years, the dinner was held each Lent on Laetare Sunday; by the mid-1980’s it was fixed to the second Sunday of March. After canceling in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 brought a move to the first Saturday of May.
A March 1, 1969, opinion column submitted to the Sentinel lauded parish dinners, including that at St. Francis:'They’ve started it wisely, offering a choice of ham or steak. But I predict that in a year or so, after the word gets around, they’ll drop the ham. It’s the kind we call swiss, but they call it something French. Delicious! And that gravy!'
From the very beginning, diners enjoyed cake and strawberries for dessert. Until the 2010’s there was also an annual assortment of cakes by the dozens. Other items took time to perfect—salads weren’t topped with the current made-from-scratch French dressing until 1973. Original hours of noon to 6:00 PM were expanded to 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
Parish farmers donated milk, strawberries, and vegetables in the early years. And then there was 1976 when an industrious parishioner made and donated 4,000 dinner rolls. Many volunteers have taken the same jobs for years—decades of directing traffic, selling tickets, cutting cakes, or joining the cleaning crew.
Through the years the event has featured other popular fundraising. The first year featured a quilt raffle netting $110.75. Subsequent years featured raffles of many a quilt and other items. Various organizations sold religious articles—so many rosaries, prayer books, and First Communion veils. The 21 st century brought bazaars, and then an antique tractor show.
Thank you to all who have dined with us over the years. And to those of you who’ve only thought about it, make this the year!
