PLEASE NOTE: that any agreements and or disagreements about the parking lot on Plaunt Street concern the Diocese and the Knights of Columbus. The Parish Finance and Property Committee here at St. Francis Xavier Parish is apprised of the ongoing discussions about the long standing lease agreement that has been held between these two parties. We are not part of the current negotiations. Any concerns should be directed to the Diocese of Pembroke and/or the Knights of Columbus. HOME COMMUNION: A number of our senior parishioners are not able to attend Mass on a regular basis. They appreciate the generosity of someone who would bring them communion regularly. The timing of this is usually negotiable. Most often people are commissioned at the weekend Mass to bring communion. If you could devote some time to this ministry it would be greatly appreciated. Please call the office. FUNERAL MASS SERVERS: A word of appreciation to the positive response to the invitation to assist with the ministry of funeral Mass serving.
