Today we remember St. Francis Xavier, who followed his friend and mentor
St. Ignatius Loyola and became one of the first Jesuit priests. St.
Francis Xavier spent his life traveling and living among the poor,
ministering and evangelizing many people throughout India, Asia and the
Pacific Islands. Learn more about this saint by listening to a podcast from American Catholic.
Consider purchasing Christmas gifts that support farmers and
artisans and their families in
developing countries and in poor
communities in the United States.
