History
San Francisco de Asís is in the Diocese of Ciudad Quesada within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of San José de Costa Rica. Administratively it is part of the canton of Los Chiles and province of Alajuela.

The Diocese of Ciudad Quesada was erected on 25 July 1995 from the Diocese of Alajuela and the Diocese of Tilarán. Records kept at the parish level likely stayed within the parish, but records made before 1995 may be housed in another archive depending on how they decided to keep the records.
