São Francisco Xavier (English: Saint Francis Xavier) is a former civil parish (freguesia) in the city and municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. It was created on February 7, 1959. At the administrative reorganization of Lisbon on 8 December 2012 it merged with the former parish of Santa Maria de Belém, thus creating the new Belém parish.[1]
