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.

Easter Sunday
The liturgy of this Sunday celebrates the Resurrection and assures us that a life in fullness results from an existence made gift and service in favor of our brothers and sisters. The Resurrection of Christ is the concrete example that confirms all of this.
The first reading presents the example of Christ who “went about doing good” and who, out of love, gave himself up to death; for this reason, God raised him up. The disciples, witnesses of this dynamic, must announce this “way” to all people.
The Gospel places us before two attitudes regarding the Resurrection: that of the obstinate disciple, who refuses to accept it because, in his logic, total love and the giving of one’s life can never generate new life; and that of the ideal disciple, who loves Jesus and thus understands his path and his proposal (for such a one, it is neither scandalous nor surprising that from the cross was born full life, true life).
The second reading invites Christians, clothed with Christ through baptism, to continue their journey of new life toward full transformation (which will occur when, through death, we have crossed the final barrier of our finitude).

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
