Parish Mission St Francis Xavier Petoskey

Join us for a special week of renewal as St. Francis Xavier Parish hosts our 2026 Parish Mission: “Together We Grow, A Parish Mission of Renewal." Led by Fr. Jewel Aytona, CPM, a priest and missionary preacher from the Congregation of the Fathers of Mercy in Kentucky. Fr. Jewel has led parish missions and retreats across the country, with a focus on God’s divine mercy, trust in God, devotion to St. Joseph, and humility. Each evening, Fr. Jewel, will offer dynamic preaching in the church, followed by fellowship and refreshments in the parish hall. All parishioners—past and present—as well as visitors and students ages 10 and up are warmly invited. Transportation and childcare will be available upon request. This Mission will encourage us to reflect, reconnect, and grow spiritually as we prepare for a new chapter of parish renewal. We hope you’ll join us for this grace-filled week.
