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.

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.

5th Sunday of Easter
On the 5th Sunday of Easter, the liturgy reminds us that the community born of Jesus has as its fundamental task, in the world and in history, to be a living sign of God's love for all his children. This was the task that Jesus, when he said goodbye, left to his disciples.
The first reading tells us about some of the Christian communities in Asia Minor that were born from the missionary work of Paul and Barnabas. They are communities that have welcomed the Good News of Jesus and have accepted the challenge of living and witnessing to the “new commandment”. As fraternal communities, animated by the dynamism of the Kingdom, they are salt that gives flavor and light that illuminates the world.
The second reading presents us with the final goal towards which we are heading: the new heaven and the new earth, “the dwelling place of God with men”, the definitive home of those who have been called to live in love, the new city where the beloved children of God will find life in abundance.
The
Gospel
takes us to the room where Jesus, shortly before being arrested and condemned to death, celebrated a farewell supper with his disciples. He invites us to listen to and take note of Jesus’ “testament”: “I give you a new commandment: that you love one another. As I have loved you, you also must love one another.” This “commandment” sums up the whole life, all the teachings, all the words and gestures, all the proposals of Jesus.

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."
