Parish Life at St. Francis Xavier
A place to worship, grow, serve, and belong
What is parish life like at St. Francis Xavier?
It’s vibrant. It’s prayerful. It’s real.
You’ll find a faithful and welcoming Catholic community rooted in the Eucharist and devoted to living the Gospel with joy. Whether you’re returning to church after some time away, just moved to the area, or are a lifelong parishioner, we want you to know: there is a place for you here.
Worship & the Sacraments
Everything flows from the Eucharist. Our parish life is centered around the celebration of the Mass, where we encounter Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.
We Offer
Daily and weekend Masses
Confession every Saturday afternoon
Opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration
Faithful celebration of all the sacraments—including Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, and Anointing of the Sick
We also walk with families preparing their children for the sacraments and accompany adults seeking to enter the Church through OCIA.
Children ages 3–18: Parish School of Religion
Our Parish School of Religion (PSR) provides dynamic catechesis for children age 3 through grade 8, with flexible options for busy families. We also offer:
Sunday School for preschool-aged children
Edge for middle school
Life Teen for high school students
Vacation Bible School, retreats, and service opportunities
Adults can grow through small faith-sharing groups, Bible studies, men’s and women’s formation, and seasonal programs rooted in Scripture and Church teaching.
Ministries & Volunteer Opportunities
The Holy Spirit is alive in our parish ministries. Whether you want to serve at the altar, pray with others, support those in need, or help behind the scenes, there are many ways to share your gifts:
