Mro. Francesco Xuereb twieled ir-Rabat, Malta minn Ġużeppi u Ursula nee’ Dimech sena 1853. Il-familja Xuereb kienet familjari sewwa Parroċċa Proto ta’ San Pawl u l-Arċikonfraternità. Sagrament, biex ħuh, il-Kolleġġjata Kanonku Pietru Pawl Xuereb kien Prokuratur ta’ dawk l-Arċikonfraternità bejn l-1870-1872 u l-1876-1878.
Franġisku beda jitgħallem il-mużika taħt is-Surmast Mro. Epifanio Agius u sab is-sittax-il sena tiegħu bħala mużiċist tal-banda u wkoll wieħed mill-fundaturi tal-każin tal-banda. Ix-xogħol kien tiegħu bħala pittur.
Ta’ ħamsa u għoxrin sena laħaq direttur mużikali tal-każin tal-banda li dam għaddej sal-1902. Mill-ġurnali ta’ dak iż-żmien naqraw li Franġisku kien bniedem simpatiku u kapaċi ħafna u l-Banda għamlet progress kbir taħt idejh. Biżżejjed isem li kien ġie mistieden biex jilgħab programmi meta ġiet inawgurata l-ferrovija u meta kien il-Kardinal Lavigerie Imdina. Fi żminijietu l-banda kienet ukoll iddoqq fil-Ġimgħa l-Kbira u bdiet issir il-Festa Nazzjonali għall-każin ukoll.
Peress li l-ftit kompożizzjonijiet tiegħu jsibu xi ħaġa ħlief xi arranġamenti ta’ xi mużika sagra fosthom O Salutaris Hostia ‘għall-Parroċċa Proto ta’ San Pawl fir-Rabat.
Meta Franġisku kiber fl-età joqgħod fid-dar tal-anzjani Saura fejn miet fit-13 ta’ Lulju 1926. Midfun fil-parroċċa ta’ San Pawl fil-qabar numru 56 fil-karniera.
