The Book of Innocents

Through the Book of the Innocents we hold in precious memory the lives of our young children who have died from miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, SIDS, sickness, disease or accident. Although they are no longer with us on earth, we rejoice in the way in which their lives have blessed our lives, and we look forward with hope to being reunited with them in the world to come. The Book of the Innocents acknowledges their continued place both in their natural family and in the parish family.

Our Catholic Community of St. Francis Xavier Book of the Innocents can be found on the north wall of our Chapel in a pine and glass case. Please visit to record the names of your loved ones along with some brief remarks, if desired. Please also pray for the families of those named. The Book of the Innocents was provided by the Respect Life Office of the Archdiocese.
