We will be starting our OCIA 2025-2026 Class soon and would like to invite you to join us. OCIA provides a deeper look into the Catholic faith and teaches what Catholics believe (and why) in an open and welcoming environment. These sessions are also opportunities for you to ask those perplexing and difficult questions you may have about the Church.
OCIA is a program for those searching for information about the Catholic way of life. It is typically offered to those who are not Catholic and wish to join the Church or those who are Catholic but have not received the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation. Still, it’s also an excellent “refresher” for those who may have forgotten things or would like a deeper understanding of our faith. All are welcome to attend.
The OCIA Session will be on Tuesday evenings. We start by June and wrapping up in April. We will have an introductory meeting on Tuesday June 9 at 6:00 p.m. in the hospitality room, where we will cover administrative details, basic introductions, our calendar, necessary paperwork, questions and answers, etc.
Please get in touch with the Education Team for more information or to let us know that you are planning to join us on this journey.

Pronto comenzaremos nuestra clase de OICA 2025 y nos gustaría invitarlos a unirse a nosotros. El OICA ofrece una mirada más profunda a la fe católica y enseña lo que los católicos creen (y por qué) en un ambiente abierto y acogedor. Estas sesiones también son una oportunidad para que hagan esas preguntas difíciles y desconcertantes que puedan tener sobre la Iglesia.
El OICA es un programa para quienes buscan información sobre la vida católica. Normalmente está dirigido a quienes no son católicos y desean unirse a la Iglesia, o a quienes son católicos pero no han recibido los sacramentos de la Primera Comunión y la Confirmación. Sin embargo, también es un excelente “repaso” para quienes puedan haber olvidado algunos aspectos o quieran profundizar en nuestra fe. Todos son bienvenidos a participar.
Las sesiones de OICA serán los martes por la noche. Comenzamos en junio y finalizamos en abril. Tendremos una reunión introductoria el martes 9 de junio a las 6:00 p.m. en la sala de hospitalidad, donde abordaremos detalles administrativos, presentaciones básicas, nuestro calendario, papeleo necesario, preguntas y respuestas, etc.
Por favor, pónganse en contacto con el Equipo de Educación para obtener más información o para avisarnos que planean acompañarnos en este camino.

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
As members of St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, we are a multicultural community guided by the Holy Spirit and the Catholic Church. Our family of faith leads a Christ-centered life to enrich our world through sacrament, worship, service, and hospitality.

Sunday of Pentecost
On the Solemnity of Pentecost, the liturgy invites us to look to the Holy Spirit and to become aware of His action in the Church and in the world. An inexhaustible source of Life, the Spirit transforms, renews, guides, animates, strengthens, builds community, fosters unity, and gives the disciples the strength to take on their role as heralds of the Gospel of Jesus.
In the first reading, the author of the Acts of the Apostles presents the Holy Spirit as the New Law that guides and animates the People of the New Covenant. The Spirit enables men and women of all races and cultures to welcome the Good News of Jesus and to form a united and fraternal community, speaking the same language—the language of love.
In the second reading, Paul presents the Spirit as the source of Life for the Christian community. It is the Spirit who grants the gifts that enrich the community and fosters the unity of all its members. Therefore, the gifts of the Spirit cannot be used for personal benefit, but must be put at the service of all.
The
Gospel
presents us with the community of the New Covenant gathered around the risen Jesus. For John, this community becomes a living, recreated, renewed community, thanks to the gift of the Spirit. Strengthened by the Spirit that the risen Jesus gives them, the disciples can go out to meet the world, to transform and renew it.

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."
