St. Francis Xavier Parish

About this church

St. Francis Xavier Parish is a Catholic community affiliated with the Archdiocese of Hartford and organized across three New Milford-area worship sites. At St. Francis Xavier Church on Chestnut Land Road, Saturday vigil Mass begins at 5 p.m.; Sunday Mass is at 10 a.m., with a Spanish-language Mass at 11:30. Rosary precedes the 8:30 a.m. Mass on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Friday Eucharistic Adoration begins at 9 a.m. Confessions are heard Saturday from 4 to 4:45 p.m. or by appointment. The directory address on Elm Street is the parish center, not the St. Francis Xavier church building.

The parish also celebrates Sunday Mass at 8:30 a.m. at Our Lady of the Lakes in New Milford and at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Washington. Its mission emphasizes worship, fellowship, compassionate service, spiritual growth, and becoming a source of hope locally. Faith formation encompasses youth instruction, adult Catholic initiation, returning Catholics, small groups, fellowship, service, and preparation for First Communion and Confirmation. Public ministry listings include adult education, the Knights of Columbus, prayer ministry, and Women’s Guild. The sacramental page provides direct office contacts for Baptism, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, and after-hours emergencies. Public pages do not specify service length, dress, parking, accessibility, nursery care, child check-in, volunteer screening, music style, or livestream availability.
