We are happy to announce the resumption of our concert series. Renowned harpsichordist, Jacob Stott, will perform a concert of Portuguese classical music on the harpsichord, Sunday, October 24, at 3 PM in our church. Mr. Stott, who has a passion for the early music of Portugal, is well known for his lectures, master classes and as a harpsichordist. A free will offering will be gratefully excepted. Please join us!

Out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of all, please be advised of the following:

(1) Bishop Tobin has prudently decided to cancel all public Masses in the Diocese of Providence until further notice. The priests of St. Francis Xavier will still say private Mass for your intentions and the intentions listed in our bulletin. While we cannot be together physically, we are united in prayer.

Please join us on FacebookLive or on our website afterwards to watch live-streamed Masses, Rosaries, and Stations of the Cross. You can view videos of Mass by clicking here.

For a complete list of Masses on television, or live-streamed online, please click here.

(2) All Faith Formation classes have been cancelled until further notice.

(3) First Penance, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation ceremonies have been postponed until further notice. Once we receive more information from the Diocese of Providence and/or the Department of Health, we will be able to set dates for these important sacraments in the life of our community.
