St. Francis Xavier Parish is filled with gratitude for the new paving that was recently completed on Pine Street.
We wish to thank Western Excavating for donating the asphalt, Shadow Asphalt for donating the labor and equipment to lay the asphalt, Poteet Construction for the street barricades, and the City of Missoula for working together to complete this project. We especially wish to thank parishioner and St. Francis Xavier Facilities Commission member, Doug Dahlberg for bringing all the parties together to make this project a reality.
We are especially thankful to have this project completed prior to our "Extend the Table" 125th Celebration!

The parish wishes to thank Scariano Construction, owned by parishioners Frank and Kelly Scariano, for the wonderful transformation of the church foyer. The restoration work has brought the foyer back in keeping with its original design and just in time for our 125th celebration. We also wish to express our sincere gratitude to Facilities Steward, Ron Brown for his demolition work along with parishioners Paula Grenfell, Pam Broussard, and Gail Gale for taking on the task of bringing the foyer back to life with their beautiful paint work. We thank Gerry Heivilin for his electrical expertise and finally, we wish to thank Mike Schmaus for his restoration of the front doors of the church. They are simply beautiful. Thank you all for your generous contribution to our historic church!
