Bienvenidos! Para Español

Our faith community and I, Fr. Francis are delighted that you and your family have chosen Saint Francis Xavier Parish as your place for worship. Saint Francis Xavier, S.J. (Society of Jesus) showed a great zeal for missionary work, and just as him we strive to follow on the footsteps of such a great preacher and evangelizer for the Malaysians.

We welcome you as Christ! Whether you are a member or a visitor, we pray that you find Christ among our brothers and sisters in the faith and trust that the word of God would stir your heart to actively listen and be prompted to action for the greater glory of God.  

OUR MISSION

As members of St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, we are a multicultural community guided by the Holy Spirit and the Catholic Church. Our family of faith leads a Christ-centered life to enrich our world through sacrament, worship, service, and hospitality.

 ASH WEDNESDAY 

On Wednesday February 22, we begin Lent with Ash Wednesday and it ends with Palm Sunday, the beginning of Easter. Ash Wednesday begins our Lenten journey towards the celebration of Easter. Although it is not a day of obligation, it is a day of fasting and abstinence. We are marked with ashes, in the shape of a cross, on our forehead on Ash Wednesday. Why? The prayer offered when the ashes are laid answers this question. The words remind us of our origins: 'Remember that you are dust, and to dust you will return'. The ashes and the entire season of Lent is a time to refocus on our relationship with God, and that relationship begins with a dependence on God for our very existence.
