Mission Statement
St. Francis Xavier is a preschool through eighth grade elementary school, dedicated to educating our diverse ethnic and socio-economic student population in partnership with family, Church, and community in a Catholic environment.
Holistic development of the individual is guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church and promoted in a spiritual, academic, physical, emotional, and social environment that emphasizes service to others.
School Philosophy
At St. Francis Xavier we believe that love is the central Gospel message of Jesus Christ. We define love as any activity that makes us grow. We view love in three different dimensions: Love of God, Love of Others, Love of Self.
- Love of God - refers to an awareness of God working in our lives as Father and Creator.
- Love of Others - relates to the example of Jesus Christ in the commitment we make to others.
- Love of Self - is cultivated in a sense of security, identity, belonging, purpose and confidence in the Holy Spirit working in our lives.
