Ability Xavier

ALL ARE WELCOME at the Church of St. Francis Xavier!

The spirit of inclusion expressed in this commitment extends far beyond disability, gender, sexual orientation, age, family status or any other label that may tempt division.

Our Goals…

  • To increase awareness and active inclusion of persons with disabilities at Xavier
  • To bring the needs and concerns of persons with disabilities to parish leadership
  • To celebrate the presence of persons with disabilities in our parish community

Ability Xavier advocates for persons with disabilities and sponsors events about disability.

If you have parish disability-related needs, contact abilityxaviernewyork@gmail.com or call the parish office at 212-627-2100.
