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.

6th Easter Sunday
The liturgy of the 6th Sunday of Easter invites us to discover the presence—discreet, yet effective and reassuring—of God in the historical journey of the Church. Jesus' promise—"I will not leave you orphans"—can be a good synthesis of the theme.
The Gospel presents us with part of Jesus' "testament," at the farewell supper on Holy Thursday. To the disciples, anxious and frightened, Jesus promises the "Paraclete": He will guide the Christian community toward truth; and will lead it to an ever more intimate communion with Jesus and with the Father. In this way, the community will be the "dwelling place of God" in the world and will bear witness to the salvation that God wants to offer to humanity.
The first reading shows precisely the Christian community bearing witness to the Good News of Jesus and being a liberating and saving presence in the lives of people. It warns, however, that the Spirit will only manifest and only act when the community accepts to live its faith integrated in a universal family of brothers and sisters, gathered around the Father and Jesus.
The second reading exhorts believers—confronted with the hostility of the world—to have confidence, to give a serene witness of their faith, to show their love to all people, even to persecutors. Christ, who made his life a gift of love to all, must be the model that Christians always keep before their eyes.

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."
