As this Season of Creation comes to a close with the Oct. 4th Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, let’s mix in a bit of St. Francis Xavier with the Ignatian Examen to ask ourselves how we are doing. 

For 30 years, Lay Spirits has sponsored a spiritual formation program. Through presentations from guest speakers, personal reflection and spiritual conversation, participants seek a closer connection to God and accompany each other on the journey. 

Join us for an lgnatian Spirituality Information Session to learn more about this prayer and what programs are being offered at Xavier in 2017-18.

Now is the time when the music ministry especially seeks new members for the coming year. There are five ways in which you might want to participate: The Choir, The Family Faith Choir, The Sunday 5PM Schola Choir, The Bell Choir, and The Instrumental Group. We are particularly looking for new singers in the 5PM Sunday Schola and the Family Faith Choir.

Are you enjoying summer produce? Ripe tomatoes? Fresh corn and fruit? Who labors in the fields to provide the food that most of us take for granted?
