Paschal Blessings!

The Xaverian Missionaries extend our heartfelt wishes for a blessed Triduum and a Joyous Easter. May the Light of our risen Lord shine as a beacon in your lives.

An Easter Reflection

The first major section of the annual Easter Vigil celebration may be the most memorable and engaging to the senses. It certainly includes some vivid symbols and actions which we do not encounter in the liturgy every day. Formerly called simply the "Service of Light", learn more.

Light of Easter Morning

In this holy season
we rejoice that we have moved
from the wounds of suffering and loss
to the healing of a merciful love;
from the darkness of Good Friday
to the Light of Easter Morning;
from the emptiness of the tomb
to the fullness of the Resurrection.
See more.

We invite you to join the Xaverian Fathers in celebrating the Pascal Mystery.
