WE BELIEVE.
Molding Christian leaders who convert their faith into action. Our Catholic identity is the foundation for everything we do at Xaverian. It is our goal to mold our students into Christian leaders who convert their faith into action. This transformation occurs through daily prayer, school-wide masses, retreats at every grade level, community service initiatives, and a rigorous, academic religion curriculum. Students are welcome to speak with our campus ministers, focus on their service initiatives, or find space for their continued prayer and reflection in our campus ministry center.
Xaverian’s religion curriculum develops each student’s intellectual, moral, and spiritual potential, consistent with each one’s dignity and religious tradition. We strive to enable students to grow in the Catholic faith and to develop an appreciation and respect for other religions. A strong emphasis is placed on the concepts of social justice, service to the community, and the conviction that Catholic education is an expression of the mission entrusted to the Church by Jesus Christ. Xaverian is proud to have Fr. Sean Suckiel as our Chaplain, along with the Very Rev. Eugene Pappas, a renowned ecumenist, educator, missionary, and social activist, as our Christian Orthodox Chaplain. Twice monthly, Xaverian’s Christian Orthodox students gather to grow in their faith and pray together.
WE SERVE.
“Falling in love with the service of God.” Xaverian’s Campus Ministry Program provides students with many opportunities to fall in love with service, from volunteering at a local soup kitchen to hosting local senior citizens for a fun-filled day of cheer near the holidays.
