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 Sunday in Ordinary Time

How should we respond to the offer of salvation that God makes to us? The liturgy of the sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time offers us some answers. Among the various reflections that the readings present, one stands out: God calls us to a transcendent destiny, to a sublime vocation, to complete and eternal happiness. We cannot, through neglect, comfort, or lack of commitment, ignore a proposal that assures us of life in its fullness.

In the second reading, the apostle Paul presents God’s saving plan (what he calls the “wisdom of God” or the “mystery”). It is a project that God prepared from the beginning “for those who love Him,” hidden from human eyes but revealed by Jesus Christ through His person, His words, His actions, and above all, through the gift of His life to the very end. On the cross where Jesus gave His life, we see—vividly and unmistakably—the love that God has for us; in that love, we discover the path that leads to salvation and to our full realization.

The first reading, however, tells us that we are free to choose between God’s proposals (which lead to life and happiness) and our self-sufficiency (which almost always leads to death and misfortune). To those who choose life, God offers His “commandments”: these are the “signs” that indicate the way of salvation.

In the Gospel, Jesus asks His disciples—those who accept the offer of salvation He brings and who set out to walk with Him—not to settle for “minimum service,” that is, the mere observance of the “Law,” but to cling to God wholeheartedly and seek the Father’s will with passion, enthusiasm, and total commitment.

Upcoming Events


  • June 1, 2025 - The ascension of the Lord


  • 1 Junio 2025 - La Ascension de Nuestro Senor

    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. Los cristianos celebran este acontecimiento como un recordatorio de la naturaleza divina de Jesús y su promesa de estar siempre con sus seguidores.

  • 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)
