OUR PATRON
St. Francis Xavier, who was born in Spain in 1506 to a noble family, was influenced by Ignatious of Loyola. Ignatious Loyola, who started the Society of Jesus, now well known as the Jesuits, recruited Francis Xavier into this order. St. Francis Xavier was educated at home until at the age of 19. Later he went to Paris for higher education. He achieved his Master’s Degree and taught philosophy at the University of Paris, before he set out to reform the world.
St. Francis Xavier landed in Goa during 1542 specifically to stem the rot amongst the faithful and soon caused a major awakening within the masses. He was instrumental in building many churches and institutions in Goa and elsewhere. He travelled across Malacca, China and Japan.
St. Francis Xavier, the patron saint of Goa, affectionately called as Goencho Saiba or Lord of Goa died in 1552 on his way to China. His body, brought in 1554 to Goa, is kept in the Basilica of Bom Jesus. The sacred relic of St. Francis Xavier, housed in a silver casket in the Bom Jesus Church, is brought in a ceremonious procession by several priests to the SE Cathedral every 10 years for an exposition. He was beatified by Pope Paul V in 1619 and canonized together with St. Ignatius by Pope Gregory XV, on March 12th, 1622.
