Welcome!

"The Lord sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor
and to proclaim liberty to captives." -Lk. 4:18

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.

Ordinary Time - Walking With Christ

Ordinary time begins on the Monday after the Baptism of the Lord, Jannuary 11, 2021, and concludes on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, February 16, 2021.

If you think of the liturgical calendar as the “circle of life,” the mystery of Christ unfolds. The significance and beauty of how Christ calls us to live our lives through him comes to light. We are now in the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. The emphasis in the Mass and the Church’s daily prayer is on Christ’s teaching and His life among his disciples. For Catholics, Ordinary Time is the part of the year in which Christ, the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives. There’s nothing “ordinary” about that!

Like all liturgical seasons, Ordinary Time is meant to be lived! We are called to be active participants! Participating in Ordinary Time means participating in the everyday life of Jesus.

Christmas Time and Easter Time highlight the central mysteries of the Paschal Mystery, namely, the incarnation, death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time, on the other hand, take us through the life of Christ. This is the time of conversion. This is living the life of Christ. (USCCB)
