Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Parish! Founded in 1892, we are located in downtown Sikeston and are a part of the Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese. Our parish is approximately 580 families strong. We have our own grade school (pre-K to 8th) located next to the parish. We have many service organizations and religious formation programs in the Catholic Faith. We are proud of our history and welcome you to join us whenever you are in the area.
The Saint Francis Xavier Parish welcomes Father Glenn Eftink to his new Parish. We look forward to hearing the word of God from you.

Questions Relating to the Gospel |
|
Today's reading from St. Paul explains the "divine economy" of stewardship - "The relief of others ought not to impoverish you; there should be a certain equality. Your plenty at the present time should supply their need so that their surplus may in turn one day supply your need. |
What are the daily routines that drain you in your faith life? How does the experience of a miracle change lives? How much of our own faith rests on the "need" for miracles? |
