S. Francis Xavier Cathedral

 We wish to thank the 45 donors who have contributed $40,115.00 to the 2011 anual Appeal. St. Francis Xavier Cathedral has set a target of $300000.00 from at least 450 persons. We look forward to receiving a balance of $259885.00 from an additional 405 donors.

Please be prepared to give your pledge to one of your appeal members as we move "Onward Together in Faith: Sharing His Gifts."

Members of the Women's Auxiliary of our Parish would like to thank all those who supported their recent Festival of Tables. Proceeds will aid our Cathedral Building Fund.

Altar Server Meeting will no longer be held on Tuesdays.

Parishioners are reminded that it is an offense to park your vehicles outside the eastern wall of the Church's property.  When parked in this area, your vehicles cause the obstruction of traffic which can lead to a serious accident occurring at this junction.  Vehicles found parked in this no-parking area will be towed at the owners expense.  

The construction taking place just outside the tower is a Kiosk. It is intended to be used as an extension to the Catholic Bookstore after each weekend Mass. On sale will be religious souvenirs, periodicals, books, etc. Please be sure to support our bookstore by purchasing your Catholic materials.
