Xavier S.P.I.R.I.T.

XHS Campus Ministry is part of Xavier S.P.I.R.I.T, our energized, all-encompassing approach to campus life that encourages and empowers all Hawks to realize and share their authentic selves, to cultivate a culture of care for self and others, and to grow in faith, hope, and love.  Our core values reflect our mission: to serve, pray, include, reach, inspire, and teach.  

Campus Ministry is located in the SPIRIT Center in Room 131, just a few steps beyond the main entrance of school.  Stop in for some hospitality, sign up for an event, organize a small service or prayer group, utilize our resources, ask questions, or just let us know how your day is going.  All are welcome!
