Faith and Service
Welcome to the Office of Campus Ministry!
As the heart of Xavier Prep, the Office of Campus Ministry is the center of religious and spiritual life. Rooted in the Gospel, teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and the tradition of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), Campus Ministry aims to holistically develop men and women for and with others, caring for the whole person- mind, body, heart, and soul. Christ-centered programming and religious education lead to authentic encounters with God and others. Through daily, school-wide prayer and Examen, regular Masses and prayer services, Advent and Lenten Reconciliation Services, a four-year retreat program, Christian Life Communities, Summit Week, immersion trips, Christian Service Program, and Adult Ignatian Formation, Xavier promotes active involvement in a faith that does justice and leads to greater communion with God and neighbor.
We participate together in Christ’s mission in the world and we do so in various faith traditions, but in a shared understanding of the redeeming mission of Jesus and each student’s developing conscience. Programming respects and welcomes people of all faith traditions.
In addition to the Campus Ministry Staff and the Department of Theology, all Xavier teachers and staff are seen as campus ministers and contribute to the religious formation of students. We are blessed to walk alongside students and their families throughout their faith journeys.
