St Francis Xavier Church

I love this parish which is located by the Burbank Hills at the north end of Buena Vista St intersecting Scott Road. There are lots of parking spaces available in the inside lot or you can park along Scott Road and nearby residences.
This is the only parish I’ve ever been which has nicely cushioned seats. It makes sitting very comfortable as you listen to the Holy Mass. Cooling and heating, depending on the season, are perfect. The sound system is great. You can hear the entire mass and the choir very clearly.
I usually attend the Saturday night mass but if I come on Sundays, I usually go to the 10:30 am service. After the celebration of the mass, there is coffee, juice, cookies and other pastries served to the attendees. This is offered free but optional donation is welcome.
I love both Fr. Dick and Fr. Benny. Before and after each mass, both priests stand by the door to meet the parishioners. Unfortunately, due to health condition, Fr. Dick can’t do this anymore. However, I admire him a lot. In spite of his medical condition and instead of looking after himself, he unselfishly chooses to serve the public by continually saying mass week after week. Finally, after 16 years of serving St Francis parish, he will saying his farewell mass on June 26, 2016. We will truly miss you, Fr. Dick!

i went here for a fair im not religious but the fair was nice

I came here for a party for one of the parishioners in the hall that is located up the hill behind the church. It was a beautiful place (sprawling nighttime views of Burbank airport! Whaaaa?!) Everyone was awesome and friendly. What else is there to ask for?

As far as churches go… this is by far one of the most beautiful. I may be a bit biased because I also went to elementary school here!

I love this parish. Located up in the Burbank Hills, the church can be a bit of a challenge to find if you aren’t used to the area, however it isn’t hard to get to. It’s a smaller parish, but the church is beautiful inside and the grounds are very well maintained. The priests are very nice, I had one make time for me on his day off because I was coming from out of town and wanted to meet with a priest and the other priest was busy that day. I enjoy stopping here when I’m in town.
