ROOTED IN XAVERIAN TRADITION
In the Xaverian Brothers tradition, certain values distinguish our way of life. Simplicity, humility, compassion, zeal, and trust are aspects of the charism which animated Theodore James Ryken and which continue to distinguish the life of the Xaverian Brothers. Partners in mission and students of the Xaverian Brother Sponsored School community are called to be animated by these values as they live and work together under the protection and guidance of St. Francis Xavier and all those who have gone before us.
We believe in these Xaverian values:
SIMPLICITY • HUMILITY • COMPASSION • TRUST • ZEAL
