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.

11 Sunday Ordinary Time
This Sunday, the Word we will reflect on reminds us of God’s constant presence in the world and His desire to offer humanity, at every step, His life and salvation. However, God’s intervention in human history is carried out through those whom He calls and sends to be living signs of His love and witnesses to His goodness.
The first reading presents to us the God of the “covenant,” who chooses a people with whom to establish bonds of communion and familiarity; to this people, Yahweh entrusts a priestly mission: Israel is to be a people set apart for the service of Yahweh, that is, to be a sign of God among the other nations.
The Gospel brings us the “mission discourse.” In it, Matthew presents a catechesis on the choosing, calling, and sending of the “twelve” disciples (who represent the entirety of the People of God) to proclaim the “Kingdom.” These “twelve” will continue the mission of Jesus and must bring the offer of salvation and liberation that God made to humanity in Jesus to the whole world.
The second reading suggests that the community of disciples is fundamentally a community of people loved by God. Their mission in the world is to bear witness to God’s love for humanity—a love that is eternal, unbreakable, freely given, and absolutely unique.

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."
