Bienvenidos! Para Español

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.

    La Ascensión del Señor es un evento importante en la tradición cristiana, que marca el momento en que Jesucristo fue llevado al cielo, cuarenta días después de su resurrección. Simboliza la culminación de su misión en la tierra y su regreso al Padre, ofreciendo esperanza de vida eterna a todos los creyentes.

  • June 8 2025 - Pentecost

    Pentecost is a major Christian solemnity celebrated fifty days after Easter, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and Mary as they prayed together. This event, marked by the sound of a strong wind and tongues of fire, signaled the birth of the Church and the start of its mission to spread the Gospel to all nations. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Apostles spoke in different languages, making the message of God understood by people from many regions. Pentecost reveals the Holy Spirit as a divine Person and fully manifests the Holy Trinity. The grace of this day continues in the Church, especially through the Sacrament of Confirmation, and Christians pray for the Spirit to renew the world.

  • 8 Junio 2025 - Pentacosta

    Pentecostés es una solemnidad cristiana importante que se celebra cincuenta días después de la Pascua, recordando la venida del Espíritu Santo sobre los Apóstoles y María mientras oraban juntos. Este acontecimiento, acompañado por el ruido de un viento fuerte y lenguas de fuego, marcó el nacimiento de la Iglesia y el inicio de su misión de anunciar el Evangelio a todas las naciones. Llenos del Espíritu Santo, los Apóstoles comenzaron a hablar en diferentes lenguas, permitiendo que personas de diversas regiones comprendieran el mensaje de Dios. Pentecostés revela al Espíritu Santo como Persona divina y manifiesta plenamente la Santísima Trinidad. La gracia de este día perdura en la Iglesia, especialmente a través del Sacramento de la Confirmación, y los cristianos oran para que el Espíritu renueve el mundo.

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."

Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
