Community Service

Kids for Others
As a school dedicated to creative, loving, respectful, compassionate, and empathetic students who are dedicated to justice and peace, St. Francis Xavier School holds the Ignatian principle of service to others in utmost regards.  All St. Francis Xavier students participate in Christian service projects either at the voluntary or mandatory level.  Jesuits have a strong commitment to serving the poor and the needy and Christian service projects are an excellent opportunity for students to live the principle of AMDG “for the greater glory of God”. 

Guiding Questions
