We build community through active involvement in events organized by Campus Ministry Staff in conjunction with student leaders and Xavier's campus community throughout the year. All are welcome to participate in the socials, fellowship, prayer, meditation, networking, social justice and study support events organized by Campus Ministry.
As the only Historically Black and Catholic University in America, we invite our community to affirm the cultural gifts of African Americans for whom the University was founded. While we embrace all cultures, it is important for all students to know their history and why our University is an important component in the success of students.
It is our Christian and civic duty to help humankind, and so we advocate for those who are unable to do so for themselves. Service is the action that compliments advocacy in giving back to the broader community.
Social Justice Organizations designed to fulfill our responsibilities in helping others:
- Catholic Relief Services
- St. Peter Claver Fraternal Organization
- Society of St. Vincent DePaul
