Francis Xavier
Saint Francis Xavier, S.J. (born Francisco de Jasso y Azpilicueta, 7 April 15063 December 1552), was a Navarrese Basque Roman Catholic missionary, born in Javier (Xavier in Navarro-Aragonese or Xabier in Basque), Kingdom of Navarre (present day Spain), and a co-founder of the Society of Jesus.
 He was a companion of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and one of the first seven Jesuits who took vows of poverty and chastity at Montmartre, Paris in 1534.
 He led an extensive mission into Asia, mainly in the Portuguese Empire of the time and was influential in evangelization work, most notably in India.
 The Goa Inquisition was proposed by St. Francis Xavier.
 He also was the first Christian missionary to venture into Japan, Borneo, the Maluku Islands, and other areas.
 In those areas, struggling to learn the local languages and in the face of opposition, he had less success than he had enjoyed in India.
 Xavier was about to extend his missionary preaching to China but died in Shangchuan Island shortly before he could do so.

The St. Francis Xavier Cathedral (also known as the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier, or simply "The Old Cathedral") is a Roman Catholic church in Vincennes, Indiana.
 The basilica is named for Francis Xavier, a 16th-century Jesuit apostle, and is located opposite George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, at 205 Church Street.
 Jesuit missionaries established St. Francis Xavier parish around 1734, making it the oldest Catholic parish in Indiana.
 Its earliest parish records date from 1749.
 The present Greek Revival-style basilica, built on or near the site of two earlier Catholic churches, dates from 1826.
 St. Francis Xavier has ties to six Roman Catholic dioceses in North America: the Diocese of Quebec, Canada, the Diocese of Baltimore, Maryland, the Diocese of Bardstown, Kentucky, the Diocese of Vincennes, Indiana, the Diocese of Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Diocese of Evansville, Indiana.
 In 1834, when Pope Gregory XVI erected the Diocese of Vincennes, St. Francis Xavier was elevated to a cathedral and served as the seat of the episcopal see from 1834 to 1898.
 The seat of the diocese was moved to Indianapolis in 1878, and in 1898 the episcopal see was renamed the Diocese of Indianapolis.
 On 14 March 1970 Pope Paul VI elevated St. Francis Xavier Cathedral to the status of Basilica (minor basilica), "an honor reserved for only the most historic churches." Castle of Xavier
The Castle of Xavier (Basque: "Xabierko gaztelua" ; Spanish: "Castillo de Javier" ) is located on a hill in the town of Javier (Navarre, Spain), 52 km east of Pamplona and 7 km east of Sangüesa.
 Built in the 10th century, this castle was the birthplace and childhood home of Saint Francis Xavier, son of the Lords of Xavier, hence his surname.
