About St. Francis Xavier
Catholic Community
St. Francis Xavier parish is a growing community of disciples of Jesus Christ committed to loving God, loving others and making disciples.
As Roman Catholics, we seek to honor our faith tradition by authentically and creatively presenting it in our community especially to Catholics who have become disconnected to the Church.
Fr. Tom Knoblach

Ministry Perspectives – Reflections from our Pastoral Team
"Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words." Saint Francis Consider: Does anyone use this to explain their silence regarding what they believe? Do I have a responsibility to share my faith with my family, my friend? If not me, who? Colossians 3:16-17 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
The One In Christ ACC Planning Council is looking for more parish members to become involved in the work of the Stewardship, Evangelization and Young Adult engagement committees of our ACC to share their creative ideas and to foster communication with parishioners. This is an opportunity to participate more deeply in your faith and help drive the direction of our Catholic community.
Contact any one of your parish representatives or your parish office
if you are interested or want to learn more.
