About this church
St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church is a Parkersburg parish joining Mass, Christian education, youth formation, music, social assistance, care for homebound people, and service to the wider community. Its mission emphasizes the teachings of Jesus, the dignity of every person, support for families and vulnerable neighbors, and active Christian witness. The parish choir and Children’s Liturgy of the Word are especially connected with the principal morning Mass.
Sunday Mass is offered at 10:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The choir ordinarily sings at 10:30, and the parish history identifies Children’s Liturgy of the Word as part of that Mass. Teen Faith Formation and Youth Group meets on the first and third Saturdays from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Saint Margaret Mary office, 2500 Dudley Avenue—not at the Market Street church—so youth families should note the separate site. The Social Concerns Committee provides help with utilities and emergency prescriptions Monday and Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the St. Francis Xavier Parish Center. People seeking assistance should contact the parish first, while Mass visitors can use the current homepage for any holy-day changes.
