Votive Light Offering at Fatima Shrine
We light the Votive lights at Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Holliston, MA, and
let them burn as silent testimony to the prayers of praise and petition that you offer.
This represents the offering of yourself completely to God with all your cares, concerns, petitions and intentions.
A Votive Light is your Silent Presence in the Mission of the Church.
Your intentions will be remembered by the Xaverians the world over, and your offering will help the people the Xaverians help.
Other Means of Support
Support the Student Aid Fund
Student Aid Fund
In the 60 years of their presence in the USA, the Xaverian Missionaries have seen the need to establish a Xaverian Student Fund that assists Xaverian Theology Students
and Seminaries in developing countries where the Xaverians work.
Graduate education is quite an endeavor, and this Fund offers some needed financial assistance.
There are four Xaverian Theologies in four Continents, with about 80 Theology Students, and 10 pre-novitiate houses.
