Religious Pluralism at Xavier
"When you touch someone who authentically
represents a tradition, you not only touch his or her tradition,
you also touch your own."
- Thich Nhat Hanh
Xavier attracts students of more than 15 faith traditions, including most Christian denominations as well as those from Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Shinto faiths. Religious pluralism is reality at Xavier. In line with the Ignatian value of cura personalis, care of the whole person, the Dorothy Day Center for Faith and Justice is committed to helping each and every student deepen their spiritual life.
