Town Hall Meeting to Discuss New Church

April 25, 2026

As we’ve announced, discussions are under way for the building of a new church for St. Francis Xavier Parish. Father Tony has engaged an architectural team, and preliminary plans are being explored — including what kind of church it will be, where it will be situated on our property, and which direction it will face.

This is an exciting and important moment in the life of our 165-year-old parish. It’s essential that everyone has the opportunity to be informed and involved as we journey together.

For that reason, we invite you to a Town Hall Meeting on Monday, May 4, at 7 p.m. in the church.

At this gathering, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Hear Father Tony’s vision for our new church — and the future of the existing one
  • Meet the architects and learn why they were selected from six firms
  • Discover what decisions have already been made, and what comes next
  • Understand the general timeline for approvals, the capital campaign, and — God willing — construction
  • Ask questions and share your hopes for this important project

Your voice matters, and your presence will help shape the future of our parish home. We hope you’ll join us for this important step forward.

If you wish, you may talk with Father Tony about your questions and concerns, or email him at tsejba@sfxmedina.org.
