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.

6th Sunday of Easter
The liturgy of the Sixth Sunday of Easter exposes, before our eyes, the “network” of love that runs through the entire history of salvation: God is the first source of love; He loves her Son Jesus, communicates His love to him and sends him to meet men; Jesus showed men, with gestures and words, the love of God; Jesus' disciples accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem and witnessed his love “until the end”; Transformed into New Men by the love of Jesus, the disciples are now heralds of God's love in the world.
The first reading affirms that the salvation offered by God through Jesus Christ, and brought to the world by the disciples, is intended for all men, without exception. For God, what is decisive is not belonging to a race or a specific social group, but rather the willingness to welcome God's love and bear witness to that love.
The second reading confirms that God is the origin of love (“God is love”) and that from Him emerged this chain of love that came to us, in Jesus and through Jesus. We, transformed by this love, can now draw closer to God, know God, and become children of God.
In the Gospel, Jesus, in the context of farewell, leaves his disciples “his” fundamental commandment: “love one another as I have loved you.” They are the “friends” whom Jesus loved to the end and revealed the love of the Father. The mission of the disciples is to bear witness, in the world and in history, to this way of living that they learned from Jesus.
