Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Seeking Christ Together.

SFX is a vibrant Catholic Church in Birmingham, Alabama

But God is rich in his mercy, and because he had such great love for us, he brought us to life with Christ when we were already dead through sin—it is by grace that you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:4-5
