ABOUT SCHOOL

St. Francis Xavier, SJ (1506-1552) Patron Saint of the School

When Francis met Ignatius in Paris he was a proud, autocratic, ambitious man wanting to accomplish great deeds in the world. For three years Ignatius patiently encouraged Francis to look at his life differently. "What profits a man," Ignatius asked Francis, "if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?"
