Happy 18th. Anniversary St. Francis Xavier Parish!

On Sunday, October 6, 2002 a new community of faith gathered for the first time to celebrate the Word of God and share in Eucharist.  The newly formed Catholic Community rented gym space at Ridge Elementary School in Plainfield.  Bishop Joseph Imesch, along with founding pastor, Father Dennis Lewindowski, welcomed the faithful and led the community in prayer.  Neighboring pastor, Father Anthony Nugent of St. Mary Immaculate Parish, concelebrated the Liturgy.

Today, 18 years later, the community of St. Francis Xavier has grown in faith, in spirit, and in number of parishioners.  Father Karl Langsdorf, Pastor, leads the parish which has grown to over 650 families.

May the Spirit of the Lord continue to bless us all!

Materials for new FCFF families

To new Family Centered Faith Formation (FCFF) families:  We are excited that you will be joining us on this journey of faith!

To help you and your family, we have put together a few resources which we hope you will find helpful with learning and prayer.

Please pick up your bag that we have prepared for you along with a Bible and Catechism.

These bags will be available for you to pick up when you come to Mass in the car park.  The person assisting with parking will have these bags ready for you… simply ask for the “New Family FCFF Bag of Goodies”!

All existing families in the program will continue to use their bags from last year.
