St. Francis Xavier St. Francis Xavier was a Navarrese-Basque Roman Catholic missionary born in the Kingdom of Navarre on April 7, 1506.

He was the youngest in his family and resided in a castle which still partially stands today and is in the possession of the Jesuit order. As the young Francis grew, he was surrounded by war.

When the war stopped and Francis came of age, he was sent to study at the University of Paris. While there he roomed with his friend, Peter Favre.

In 1530, Francis Xavier earned his master's degree, and went on to teach philosophy at the University of Paris. Xavier was beatified by Pope Paul V on Oct.

Reflection Hidden, eternal, immeasurable God, rich in mercy, There is no other God than you. You are great and worthy of all praise. Your power and grace sustain the universe.

Hallowed and praised be your name in all the world, and let your will be done wherever people live. Living and gracious God, hear our prayer: our guilt has become great.

Guide of our destiny, bless the leaders and rulers of the states, that they do not lust after power and glory but act responsibly for the well-being of their subjects and peace among all.

3 St. Francis Xavier St. Francis Xavier was a Navarrese-Basque Roman Catholic missionary born in the Kingdom of Navarre on April 7, His father was a privy counselor and finance minister to King John III of Navarre. He was the youngest in his family and resided in a castle which still partially stands today and is in the possession of the Jesuit order. As the young Francis grew, he was surrounded by war. Navarre was the target of a campaign by King Ferdinand of Aragon and Castile, and the kingdom was eventually conquered. When the war stopped and Francis came of age, he was sent to study at the University of Paris. While there he roomed with his friend, Peter Favre. The pair met and were heavily influenced by Ignatius of Loyola, who encouraged Francis to become a priest. In 1530, Francis Xavier earned his master's degree, and went on to teach philosophy at the University of Paris. Xavier was beatified by Pope Paul V on Oct. 25, 1619, and canonized by Gregory XV on March 12, 1622 at the same ceremony as Ignatius of Loyola. He is the patron of Catholic missions and his feast day is on December 3 rd. Reflection Hidden, eternal, immeasurable God, rich in mercy, There is no other God than you. You are great and worthy of all praise. Your power and grace sustain the universe. God of truth without falsity, righteous and true, You chose Abraham your submissive servant to be the father of many peoples and spoke through the prophets. Hallowed and praised be your name in all the world, and let your will be done wherever people live. Living and gracious God, hear our prayer: our guilt has become great. Forgive us children of Abraham our wars, our enemies, our misdeeds against one another. Redeem us from all distress and give us peace. Guide of our destiny, bless the leaders and rulers of the states, that they do not lust after power and glory but act responsibly for the well-being of their subjects and peace among all. Guide our religious communities and their leaders, so that they not only proclaim the message of peace but live it out themselves. And to all of us, and those who are not of us, give your grace, mercy and all good things, and lead us, God of the living, on the right way to your eternal glory. -Fr. Hans Kűng St. Michael the Archangel Please guide and protect our Police Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Personnel and First Responders St. John s Contemporary Music Group We re looking for school age children to participate as angels, shepherds and the Holy Family in our Children s Procession at the 6:00PM Christmas Eve Mass.

The priest may say a blessing over the casket similar to this: In the waters of baptism N. died with Christ and rose with him to new life. May he/she now share with him eternal glory." Upon completion of the blessing, the pall is placed upon the casket, symbolizing the white garments the individual would have worn at the time of his or her baptism.
