Welcome to St. Francis de Sales

St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, an apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, is the only parish in the Archdiocese of Atlanta dedicated to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. With the permission of the Archbishop of Atlanta and in accordance with the wishes of recent Popes St. John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, we offer the Traditional Latin Mass daily according to the Missale Romanum of Pope St. John XXIII and the other sacraments according to the liturgical books in force in 1962. Visitors are always welcome to join us! On Sundays, after the 8:00 a.m. and the 10:30 a.m. Masses, you are welcome to come to the Social Hall to have coffee and socialize. New parishioners may register by completing the online registration or filling out the form and sending to the parish office.

Ember Days are traditionally days of fasting, which occur at the close of each of the four seasons of the year. This ancient practice, which was in force among the Jews and therefore dates to the time of the Apostles, is proof of the Church’s great wisdom and her great solicitude for our happiness which fixes the time and manner of fulfilling the precept of our Lord “Unless you do penance, you shall likewise perish.” Holy Mother Church use to command fasting, prayer, and alms, as opposed to the three great passions of the heart, love of pleasures, love of honours, and love of riches, however Ember Days are no longer a binding practice
