Build up the body of Christ.
Every family needs a place to belong.
The Church is not just where we go. It’s who we are. And every family needs a place to belong.
At St. Francis Xavier, we believe parish life is not just about worship on Sundays. It’s about building up the Body of Christ in everyday moments: coaching a team, leading a Scout troop, pouring coffee after Mass, or hosting a parish celebration. Every one of these moments is a chance to offer your gifts in love.
Explore the opportunities below and discover where your gifts meet the needs of our Church family.
