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

5th Easter Sunday
The liturgy of the Fifth Sunday of Easter invites us to look at the community born from the cross and the resurrection, the community of the New Covenant. It is a community that lives with its eyes fixed on the risen Jesus, that follows the path He has shown, and that, as it walks, bears witness before the world to the life and salvation of God.
The first reading presents some traits that define the Church of Jesus: it is a holy community, although made up of sinful people; it is a hierarchically structured community, but where authority is exercised in service, through dialogue and sharing; it is a community of servants who receive gifts from God and place them at the service of their brothers and sisters; and it is a community animated by the Spirit, which lives by the Spirit and receives from the Spirit the strength to be a witness of Jesus in history.
The second reading presents the new community born from Jesus as a “spiritual temple,” of which Christ is the “cornerstone” and Christians are the “living stones.” Those who belong to this community form a “priestly people,” whose mission is to offer God true worship: a life lived in obedience to the Father’s plans and in unconditional love for others.
In the Gospel, Jesus assures His disciples that He will never abandon them and defines the “way” they must follow to reach the “Father’s house”: it is the same “way” that He followed, the way of obedience to God and total self-giving in service to others. Those who accept this proposal find life in its fullness and are welcomed into the family of God—the family of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

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."
