Our Patron Saint - St. Francis Xavier

St. Francis was born in the castle of Xavier in the North of Spain on April 7, 1506. He died on December 3, 1552 on the rocky island of Sancian. Before he died, Francis had spread the Ignatian spirit, which sprang from a deep Christ experience, far and wide.

He brought into the life of man the heart of God, who loves every person, sinner or saint, totally and unconditionally – a love that frees us from fear and invites us to live in generous service of our neighbours.

The titular feast of the School is celebrated on December 3rd every year.
