Mission Statement

Our mission is to support St. Francis Xavier by producing and promoting quality performance, visual Arts for spiritual growth, service to church and community, socialization and preparation for our future as active, practicing Catholics.

Vision Statement

Our mission and goals are focused on making the Arts vital, visible, accessible, innovative, and an integral part of the St. Francis Xavier "Gathering Place." We seek members who are highly motivated, dedicated, enthusiastic, disciplined, creative, and resourceful.

We believe in the value of the Arts as the voice of the human soul. The Arts educate, communicate, and inspire us to know more about ourselves, each other and our place in creation. We believe in the unity of the Arts, and in the role of the Arts in a Catholic faith-based community.

Offer traditional church liturgy programs.

Sponsor events to enrich spiritual life in our Catholic community.

Be a spiritual force in the Arts to connect people and enrich our lives.
