Let the Children Come…
Thank you to all you parents who bring your children to celebrate the Eucharist with us; they are a delight and joy and remind us of how wonderful a gift children really are. Please know that ALL children, no matter their age, are welcome here at St. Francis Xavier and by our Lord. To quote one of my favorite Scripture passages: “And the people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.”
Then he embraced them, blessed them, placing his hands on them.” Mark 10: 13-15
God bless, Fr. Dan

It is a tradition at St. Francis Xavier to invite families and friends who have lost a loved one during the past year to a special liturgy that will honor their loved ones.
Join us in remembering and honoring those we love. Please call the parish office and provide us with your loved one’s name and date of death.
IT IS TIME TO COME TOGETHER
Dear Parish Family,
This coming Tuesday the election will be over; no matter what the outcome; it is time to put aside all the rhetoric, vitriol and division and remember that we are “One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” We are all Americans and we ned to come together, work and pray together so that our children can have a future of peace, freedom and justice. Together, we can pray for all those who were elected to serve with honesty, dignity and integrity.
God Bless, Fr. Dan
