The church of St Francis of Assisi is nestled in Mount Steadfast, St. James on the West coast of Barbados. This church is of catholic religion and is small and intimate with simple decor. With its large windows on either side of the alter, it boasts beautiful views of the ocean and allows that lovely evening light to beam through. The church is perched on a little cliff and just below this cliff is a secluded beach where couples can take photos. We would definitely recommend this church if you are Roman Catholic and if you wedding reception is on the west coast then this church is in the perfect location for you!

There are certain requirements which are to be met when having a Catholic wedding in Barbados. Parties must be interviewed by their Parish Priest in the home Diocese of the Catholic party. It is he who will undertake the necessary investigations, obtain a dispensation if required and provide information about participation in a pre-marriage preparation programme. Your Parish Priest will then forward the relevant papers to his Diocesan Chancery. The chancery should then send them well in advance, to the Diocesan office in Barbados.
