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

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.
THANK YOU to Ron and Mike on the EXCEPTIONAL job they did in replacing the old ramp leading up to the Parish Hall; check it out if you have not already!

Eucharistic Adoration & Benediction
In Observance of the Dignity and
Sacredness of All Human Life
Thank you to all who came to the parish picnic. Even though it rained, hopefully everyone had a good time and plenty of good food to eat (especially the LARGE cookies). It is always good when our parish family can come together for fellowship and socializing. A special thank you to the Grabowski’s for the great food and drinks!!
Participants will share their gifts from God, relying on their strengths to help others and valuing their friends’ gifts as they accomplish goals through dividing responsibilities, taking turns brainstorming, listening, and providing compassion and care while we realize we are all God’s children!
