The Little Sisters of the Poor arrived in Kuala Lumpur on 3rd December 1965,. It was the Feast of St Francis Xavier. On the 27th December 1965, we received a letter from our Mother House in France giving us St Francis Xavier as the Patron of our Future Foundation
Born in Spain in the year 1506, Francis Xavier studied at Paris. There he joined Ignatius of Loyola and was ordained priest at Rome in 1537. In 1541 he came to the East and spent 10 years preaching in Gospel in India, Ceylon, the Moluccas Island, Japan, Malacca, and The Malay Peninsula. He died in the year 1552 on the island of Shangchwan. His body was placed in quicklime and brought eventually to Goa, where it was enshrined and for long has been, in its incorrupt state, an object of popular pilgrimage. His Feast Day falls on 3rd December, the day after his death. Several religious missionary congregations bear his name, and we Little Sisters have him as Patron of our Home in Kuala Lumpur |
