Saint Francis Xavier, patron of missions, spent his life carrying the Gospel throughout the world. At St. Francis Xavier Academy, we believe that the first and greatest mission begins at home in the daily, faithful work of raising children who know and love God. We look to St. Francis Xavier for his example of heroic virtue, his fearless trust in God's providence, and for his intercession as we accompany families in the mission of forming holy men and women who are set ablaze in their own unique missions through the wonders and love of God.
