St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church

About this church

St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Joliet celebrates weekend Mass at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. Sunday; the Saturday vigil is livestreamed and available through a parish parking-lot broadcast. Weekday Mass is at 9:15 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Confession precedes the weekend vigil and Wednesday evening Mass and follows morning weekday Masses.

Religious education, youth group, adult faith enrichment, Catholic initiation, spiritual direction, liturgical and music ministries, homebound Communion, bereavement support, prayer blankets, and parish social events create a broad community around worship. Wednesday and weekday Adoration periods add quieter devotional options. The parish's history and ongoing hospitality weekends help newcomers connect with an established Joliet Catholic community. Visitors can choose one of three weekend liturgies, use Saturday when remote access is needed, and should note that the official site now lists the campus as 2500 South Arbeiter Road even though some directory data uses 2510.
