  • Saint Francis Xavier Parish March 1, 2020
    SAINT FRANCIS XAVIER PARISH MARCH 1, 2020 ‘The Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.’ ~Genesis 2:7 OUR MISSION STATEMENT ST. FRANCIS XAVIER IS A CATHOLIc- Jesuit parish Ignited by the Eucharist To PRAY, SERve, DO JUSTIce, and LoVE. "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel" On the first day of Lent we bless ashes and we wear them. We wear them as a sign of penance during this season of penance. We wear them also as a badge of who we are as Christians, followers of Christ, committed to him and to what he stands for. Everyone who sees us will witness this badge of our Christian commitment. Our public proclamation of who we are demands that we follow up with action. The Lenten readings summon us to return to a God who is slow to anger and rich in mercy, who gives back the joy of salvation and sustains a willing spirit and who knows how our hearts can turn quietly to him. Paul summons Christians to be ambassadors to reconciliation, because God made him who did not know sin to be sin, so that in him we might become the very holiness of God. Turn away from accusation turn toward embrace Turn away from judgment turn toward acceptance Turn away from exclusion turn toward belonging…. Ash Wednesday is a peculiar liturgical celebration that fascinates us. Its distinguish- ing mark is the tracing of a black cross, made out of ashes, across the forehead.

  • Download Praying with Saint Francis Xavier
    Praying with Saint Francis Xavier The Novena of Grace Praying with St Francis Xavier The Novena of Grace The Church has always rejoiced in the “great cloud of witnesses”1 who are the saints. These men and women, over the generations and in so many places, have shown what it is to live the Christian life, sometimes to the point of surrendering their own lives in martyrdom. Their earthly lives may have ended but their prayers continue in heaven. The Church has long believed that the saints intercede on our behalf, asking God for the graces and blessings which we forget to ask for or for which we find no time to pray: “Their intercession is their most exalted service to God’s plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world.”2 Devotion to Francisco Xavier has always been immensely popular as he fires the imagination with his heroic travels to distant peoples and lands across the globe. This novena is nine days of prayer, in the company of St Francis Xavier, through the letters he wrote. As a Jesuit, Francisco underwent and then, in turn, led others through the Spiritual Exercises of his great friend St Ignatius Loyola. His writings reflect the spiritual insights and preoccupations of the Spiritual Exercises. We pray to know ourselves better, to discern the will of God for each of us in the daily unfolding of our lives, to hear and generously answer Christ’s call to follow him, whatever the cost, and to understand that everything is unmerited gift from God, poured out lavishly upon us “as rays from the sun or waters from the spring.”3 The present form of the Novena was begun in the seventeenth century by Fr Marcello Mastrilli SJ (1603-37).

  • The Life and Voice of St. Francis Xavier Day #1
    Novena of Grace March 12-20, 2019 THE LIFE AND VOICE OF ST. FRANCIS XAVIER DAY #1 | Tuesday, March 12 It is fitting that we begin this Novena on March 12th, the anniversary of the canonizations of Saints Francis Xavier and Ignatius of Loyola. Tradition says that the Novena began when Francis Xavier appeared to a priest in a healing vision and promised that all who would ask his intercession with God for nine days would experience profound grace. Today we carry on that tradition, continuing to pray for nine days, asking for God’s grace through the intercession of Francis. The theme of this year’s Novena is “God Walking with Us,” as we remember that in this journey of life, God draws near to us in love, and binds us together with one another in friendship on the way. Each day of this Novena we will learn more about the story of Francis Xavier, an ancestor in faith and a friend in our journey over these nine days of prayer, and throughout our lives. Through the intercession of Francis Xavier, may God’s blessing pour out abundantly into our lives and our world. 475 years ago, Francis Xavier walked the paths and roads of Asia ringing a bell. Francis rang the bell to call people together for learning, prayer, healing, and conversion. So too during this Novena of Grace, we will be called together with a bell, because we also gather for prayer, for healing and for conversion. As we begin our journey through these nine days of our Novena, let us befriend our companion, Francis Xavier.
