‘OUR CHURCHES MAY BE CLOSED, BUT CHRIST IS NOT QUARANTINED’

During this Pandemic, while St Francis Xavier Chapel is closed, has been trying to find new ways for the Word of the Lord to reach our parishioners and community. Who would have thought SFXC would be:

streaming both English and Japanese Masses on on the web or online Rosary and Prayer Groups

Due to the Safer at Home order, St Francis Xavier Chapel has lost almost all of our revenue, We normally survive on Sunday Donationsm the rents paid by the different groups and the parking lot and our fundraisers. All classes and practices have been suspended until further notice and Fundraisers have been canceled for the foreseeable future. We have tried to cut our expenses to the bare bone, but we still have bills to pay, We know that everyone is going through a tough time with layoffs or reduced work hours, but St Francis cannot exist without your help. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help by making your Sunday Donation or a Special Donation during this time to St Francis Xavier Chapel. Checks can be mailed to the office at: SFXC, 222 S. Hewitt St. Los Angeles, CA 90012

or online (click the button below to make a donation online).

Prayer in the Time of the Coronavirus

Most Reverend José H. Gomez Archbishop of Los Angeles March 13, 2020

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe,
Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas.
We fly to you today as your beloved children.
We ask you to intercede for us with your Son,
as you did at the wedding in Cana.

Pray for us, loving Mother,
and gain for our nation and world,
and for all our families and loved ones,
the protection of your holy angels,
that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
For those already afflicted,
we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.
Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,
wipe away their tears and help them to trust.

In this time of trial and testing,
teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind.
Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.

We come to you with confidence,
knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother,
health of the sick and cause of our joy.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
keep us in the embrace of your arms,
help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Our Lady of Japan, stained glass window.
