As we approach the season of Lent, we are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming Novena of Grace in honor of our Parish patron, St. Francis Xavier, which will take place from March 6 to March 14, 2025. All events will be bilingual English and Spanish.
This Novena is an almost 400 years old cherished tradition within Jesuit Parishes, bringing together our entire congregation in a spirit of unity and devotion. This year, our theme is “Belonging Ignites Hope,” inspired by Bishop Dolan’s TILMA initiative and Pope Francis’ 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope. Over the course of nine days, we will gather in prayer, seeking the intercession of our Patron Saint and reflecting on the profound message of hope.
We are honored to have a series of distinguished guest speakers who will guide us through this spiritual journey. Their insights and reflections will help us deepen our faith and prepare our hearts for the Lenten season.
Weekday Novena events start at 7pm. Weekend events start at 5pm. Our Tuesday March 10th 7pm event is an Anointing of the Sick service and Thursday March 13th 7pm we will have a Reconciliation service.
Please join us this year!
