Xavier Scholars
Our Class of 2022 Xavier Scholars had a chance to get acclimated to Walsh Jesuit this summer! They participated in a camp created to build community, offer academic enrichment and introduce them to Warrior traditions.
This unique program will promote academic excellence, foster unity and provide leadership and service opportunities. For their good works and involvement in the school’s mission of Forming Women and Men for and with Others, students will earn credits, up to $3,000, toward tuition as determined on an individual basis as they serve and commit to growth in their spiritual and intellectual development. At the end of the camp, the students will have completed six hours of community service, worked on several academic projects and engaged in team building activities.
St. Francis Xavier (Zay-vure) was a companion of the founder of the Jesuits, St. Ignatius Loyola, and is known as one of the great missionaries of all time. They met and studied together at the University of Paris in the 1520s and later, when Ignatius missioned his friend to the East, he did so with the words, “Go light the world on fire.” Xavier did just that as he traveled by ship across the globe to embrace other cultures and share the love of Christ.
As a Christ-centered community, we strive to be Men and Women for and with Others.
