See all the ways we Journey Together at our Celebration of Ministries on Nov. 2-3

What makes St. Francis Xavier special? Come to the Church Basement on Sunday, Nov. 3, after the 8, 10 and 12 noon Masses, and take a look around at some of the many ministries working here to Journey Together with you and others in our community!
As we begin our 165th year as a parish, let’s take a moment to appreciate all the ways that we serve, celebrate and lead each other to Jesus.
