Web Version   Please remember to read this whole email for all upcoming events and important information. God has always taken great care of St. Francis Xavier Parish. His care and love for us continues in the form of some much needed relief for our Fr. Benny. As most of you know, for the past two years Fr. Benny has been nearly superhuman as our sole priest and administrator. We are happy to announce that God has led Fr. Sebastian Vettickal to St. Francis Xavier. Fr. Sebastian, both knows us and wants us. Since the first time he presided at Mass here in 2002, he’s been back on numerous occasions. He’s presided at Masses, assisted with Confessions, and he has even led a retreat here. Through his charismatic personality, we have thoroughly enjoyed his stories during his homilies. Fr. Sebastian, a Carmelite priest was born on December 22, 1962. After graduating from high school, he joined the religious order of Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI). He was ordained on December 31, 1991. Fr. Sebastian arrived in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 2000. He served two years at Sacred Heart Church in Ventura, 11 years at St. Denis Church in Diamond Bar and currently serves as the Administrator at Holy Trinity Church in San Pedro. The best part is that as Fr. Sebastian begins his new assignment at St. Francis Xavier Parish on July 1, as our Administrator, our Fr. Benny will still be our Fr. Benny. He is staying with us! We welcome Fr. Sebastian and ask that you keep him and Fr. Benny in your prayers. PE BBQ PRIZE RAFFLE We need your help and support. PLEASE DONATE A PRIZE TO OUR PRIZE RAFFLE.

This annual weekly event is the time of year we express our gratitude to the faculty and staff of our school. The PTO Board has reminded me to be sure to include the parent community to participate in the week’s festivities. If you would like to honor or thank your child’s teachers and assistants, please feel free to do so the week of May 7. The faculty and staff would be most appreciative. Parents and students can send small gifts of appreciation as they would like. In the past the faculty and staff have received gift cards, notes of appreciation and other goodies to show love and support for the personnel of the school. We thank you in advance for your support. Please mark your calendars for Tuesday May 15 for a one-hour meeting in Holy Cross Hall to introduce the Rosetta Stone foreign language program. The meeting is set for 6:00 PM and will culminate by 7:00 PM.
