Welcome!

I am Father Edwin Carreño Carreño, Parish Administrator of the Sanctuary of Saint Francis Xavier and Our Lady of Guadalupe. I am thankful to God for having sent me to this Community as its priest and pastor. From the Shrine we invite you to join us and continue to be an active part within our parish family.

As Saint Francis Xavier teaches us: "Give us, Lord, a generous and missionary heart to be salt and light on earth and fill everything with your love."

We belong to the great Family of God, The Church, serving together, we will find great joy in God's work here on earth. We invite and encourage you to join us as we pray, work, and celebrate the joy of living our faith.

If there is anything we can do to help you on your path of conversion and relationship with God, do not hesitate to contact us. Our parish has excelled in offering many opportunities for its parishioners to come together in faith. However, if there is a personal or family need that requires special and individual attention, rest assured that our parish staff is always here to help you.

Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality. (Rm 12,11-13)

We are in a continuous spiritual and human growth so that you find warmth and happiness in our parish and we hope to meet you personally so that together we continue to build the People of God, the Church that the Lord Jesus has entrusted to us.

God bless you and your beautiful family, Our Migrant Lady protect you from all evil and danger.

Cordially,
Fr. Edwin

“Do everything with love.”

St. Francis Xavier is a Roman Catholic community, consecrated to Jesus Christ, through Mary, with loving concern for one another. We commit ourselves to living the Sacraments, celebrating the Liturgy together, and a life of prayer in communion with the Saints. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will preach the Gospel, serve the community, and witness to the world.
