Founded in 1950, by Monsignor James A. Caulfield, St. Jane Frances de Chantal Parish is a community of nearly 2,000 families from many backgrounds and of varied professional lives and interests. Its primary purpose is to enable its parishioners to live the life of Jesus Christ, to share their God-given talents for the benefit of each other and of society, and to pass on to their children the rich gift of their Catholic Faith.
