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.
Prayer for Our Troops
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. And give us peace. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Questions Relating to the Gospel
|
|
Good stewards in a parish are like the yeast in today's Gospel. Their selfless gift to time and talent help the parish grow and thrive, and their example inspires others to become good stewards, too.
|
When has a first impression of someone changed from "weed" to "wheat" for you? What would you have missed if you had not taken the time to understand the person more thoroughly?
