St. Francis Xavier Parish will conclude its 155th anniversary year with a very special evening on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015.

Following the 5 p.m. Mass, Father Tony Sejba will dedicate our new vestibule space and doors to the church, then invite everyone downstairs to the church basement for an hors d’ouerve reception and open house. At 7:30 p.m., the church will celebrate the season with the “Festival of Carols” by Joseph Martin, which will be a resounding, hour-long service combining music and Scripture readings.

All are invited to share in the celebration in thanksgiving to God for the blessings bestowed on our parish, ask his continued blessing on the work of the Kingdom that lies ahead, and prepare our hearts for the coming of the Savior at Christmas.
