Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church We're a historical Catholic Parish serving the community in Toulminville, AL. Under the direction of Bishop John Quinlan, Father Edward Kirwan, founder of St.

The Catholic people of Toulminville, before the original church was built, were attended by Jesuit Fathers from Spring Hill College and priests from the Cathedral. Bridget Church in 1867 at Whistler, ministered to the mission. On May 6, 1868, Rosalie and Louis Wagner sold property on St. Stephen’s Road to Bishop Quinlan for $100.00. The Mobile Daily Register dated May 27, 1868, noted “the cornerstone of a Catholic Church on the St. Stephens Road near Wagner’s was laid several days since.” A later article stated, “… St. Francis Xavier Church in Toulminville, now a part of the city of Mobile [was] founded in 1868 when the congregation consisted of about sixty members…”

In 1869, a parish school was established and during most of its short span of five years had an average of twenty-five scholars. On July 13, 1875, additional land was purchased from the Wagners. The present rectory rests upon this property.

Dear All,

I would love you to come and join me and the people of St. Catherine's for this special celebration of "ALL SAINTS." This is a great chance for us to celebrate our UNITY as the BODY OF CHRIST.

The Mass will be bilingual in English and Spanish. Prince of Peace Combined Choir will sing a Communion Meditation. Parishioners from St. Theresa will be sharing their Choctaw Heritage through food, song, costume and dance at the festival. Soul Food from Prince of Peace's Cooks for Christ will be sold at the festival along with food from over 30 other countries.

Please make plans to come and join for this special celebration. May we all gather as ONE as we look forward to that day when we will all gather around the ONE SAME table in Heaven with ALL the SAINTS!

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Vic

I invite y'all to come out for a night of Praise, Worship & Prayer. Let us rest in the presence of the Lord and give him a chance to refresh, heal and inspire us. We started this ministry last year and are expanding it to be bilingual so more of us can worship together with one heart and one voice.

Hope to pray with y'all this Tuesday!

Peace
