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.

2nd Sunday Ordinary Time
The Word of God presented in the liturgy for this second Sunday of Ordinary Time uses the metaphor of “marriage” to describe the loving and communal relationship between God and His people. It includes a strong invitation to enter this love story God desires to build with us.
In the first reading, an anonymous prophet addresses Jerusalem, the sad and ruined city that has been destroyed and burned by Babylonian troops. The prophet assures her that God loves her with an everlasting love. This love will regenerate Jerusalem, transforming it into a beautiful and radiant “bride.” Illuminated by love, the city, as the wife of God, will fill her husband’s heart with pride and joy.
In the second reading, Paul reminds the Christians of Corinth that spiritual gifts, or "charismas," are signs of God’s love and are meant for the good of all. They should not be monopolized by a few individuals, nor should they cause division and tension within the community. The sharing of God’s gifts within the community manifests the love that unites the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
In the Gospel, during the wedding celebration of a young couple in Cana of Galilee, Jesus outlines His mission: to bring the “good wine,” symbolizing joy and love, into the relationship between God and humanity. Through His actions—His words, gestures, and ultimate expressions of love—the community of the new “covenant” is born, a community that lives in love for God and is eager to bear witness to that love in the world.

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."
