Announcements

The Advent Parish Outreach Ministry will be collecting the following items to support Daybreak Shelter:

• Gloves
• Mittens
• Hats
• Scarfs
• Underwear

Items can be brought into the church and placed in the collection box.

There will be no masses at St. Francis Xavier on Thanksgiving, November 25 or Friday, November 26. 

Bishop Hicks will preside over a Thanksgiving Mass at the Cathedral of St. Raymond at 9am.  All are welcome.

Thank you to everyone who responded to our parishioner survey.  Based on that feedback, the fall time change and approaching cold weather we’ve decided to move the Saturday, 4:30pm Mass back inside the church effective November 13.

We will reserve a section of the church to be designated for social distanced seating.

Additionally, if you aren’t ready to come back inside the church yet we will still be broadcasting the service to your radio on 88.5 FM.  Communion will still be provided to your vehicle.

Fr. Karl and the SFX Knights of Columbus are inviting all Military Veterans and their Families to a Mass honoring their service on Veterans Day – Thursday, November 11th at 6:00pm.

Thank you to everyone who took a baby bottle or envelope this past weekend and for your support for St. Francis Xavier’s Baby Bottles for Life campaign in support of the Waterleaf Women’s Center in Aurora.

Waterleaf is dedicated to preserving life by providing comprehensive information and compassionate assistance to those facing an unplanned pregnancy. All services are provided for free.

Your participation is key to their success.  Reaching our goal means they will continue to serve more women and men facing unplanned pregnancies.   With each dollar raised, you are ensuring Waterleaf can continue to equip their patients with the tools needed to make healthy, life-affirming decisions.

Remember that all filled bottles (and envelopes) can be returned through November 13th and 14th.
