St Francis of Assisi in Nesquehoning, PA is a historic church that has been serving the community since its founding in 1905. Originally known as Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, it was relocated and rebuilt in 1918 under the guidance of Monsignor Angnello J. Angelini. Father Angelini, a beloved priest, dedicated his life to the church and oversaw the construction of the new Italian Church in 1950. His humanitarian efforts and dynamic personality left a lasting impact on the community, and his memory continues to influence those who follow in his footsteps.

The church is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of the Italian-American heritage in the area. It has organized numerous festivals and celebrations, honoring both religious traditions and the cultural connections to Italy. These events have played a significant role in preserving the community's ethnic heritage and establishing new identities in the United States. Today, St Francis of Assisi remains a cherished institution, continuing to serve the spiritual needs of the local residents.
