Mission Statement: St. Francis Xavier Church is a welcoming,
caring community, alive in faith and full of hope in Christ
The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family. The first two and a half weeks of February fall within the liturgical season
of Ordinary Time which is represented by the liturgical color green. Green, the symbol of hope, is the color of the sprouting seed
and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. The
remaining days of February are the beginning of Lent. The liturgical color changes to purple — a symbol of penance, mortification
and the sorrow of a contrite heart.
The month of February is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Family. Between the events which marked Christmas and the beginning of Christ's public life the Church has seen fit to recall the example of the Holy Family for the emulation of the Christian family.
The Feast of the Presentation (February 2) or Candlemas forms a fitting transition from Christmas to Easter. The small ChristChild is still in His Mother's arms, but already she is offering Him in sacrifice.
The saints that we will focus on this month and try to imitate are St. Blaise (February 3), St. Agatha (February 5), St. Paul Miki
& Companions (February 6), St. Scholastica (February 10), Our Lady of Lourdes (February 11), Sts. Cyril and Methodius (February 14), Seven Founders of the Orders of Servites(February 17), Peter Damian (February 21), and St. Polycarp (February 23).
The feasts of St. Jerome Emiliani and St. Josephine Bakhita (February 8) and the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) will not be
celebrated this year because they are superseded by the Sunday liturgy.
