From Fr. Dan: I was on retreat, and while praying for the parish it came to me that many are suffering from cancer. Did you know that we have a Saint to whom we can pray specifically for intercession for cancer patients? He is St. Peregrine, and here is his story.
The Rebel Who Became a Saint
I found a statue of St. Peregrine which I purchased and blessed along with a book of Catholic Novenas with the novena in honor of St. Peregrine in it. If any one or any family would like to take the statue and Novena to their home and pray that novena for themselves, a loved one or a friend; please contact the rectory. All that I ask is that you bring the statue and novena back to the rectory after your nine days so that others might have the opportunity to take part in this prayer.
God Bless, Fr. Dan

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
