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.

Solemnity of Pentecost
The theme of this Sunday is, evidently, the Holy Spirit. A gift of God to all believers, the Spirit gives life, renews, transforms, builds community, and brings forth the New Man.
The Gospel presents to us the Christian community gathered around the risen Jesus. For John, this community becomes a living, recreated, new community through the gift of the Spirit. It is the Spirit who enables believers to overcome fear and limitations and to bear witness in the world to the love that Jesus lived to its fullest extent.
In the first reading, Luke suggests that the Spirit is the new law that guides the journey of believers. It is the Spirit who creates the new community of the People of God, who makes human beings capable of overcoming their differences and communicating, who unites in one community of love people of every race and culture.
In the second reading, Paul reminds us that the Spirit is the source from which the life of the Christian community flows. It is He who grants the gifts that enrich the community and fosters the unity of all its members; therefore, these gifts cannot be used for personal benefit, but must be placed at the service of all.

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."
