My late husband took me here in the year 2000. He gave an offering at St. Francis Xavier's shrine while I knelt in prayerful awe. The arm with which the saint had baptized thousands was in the reliquary! Thanks to St. Francis Xavier, Patron of Australia's prayers, and Our Lady's might, he himself was baptised ten years later - three weeks before his death! Deo Gratias!
