The aim of our advocacy trips is to learn about injustice in its' various forms, explore their root causes and then take action.  Students who participate in one of our advocacy trips will be challenged to not only learn about the injustice but to become an advocate for justice. Trips offered include: the Birmingham/SOA Protest/Ignatian Family Teach-in, the March for Life Trip, Washington, D.C., the Ignatian Family Spring Teach-In on Environmental Justice and Sustainability, and a visit to  the Ignatius Jesuit Centre of Guelph, Canada.

The Office of Faith and Justice works to encourage and empower the Brophy community to achieve this "relationship with Christ" both through the transforming power of prayer as well as by becoming involved in service to those in need on school-wide, local, and global levels.

Immersion trips allow students the experience of being completely immersed in a culture and a reality that is very different from one we know.  They will be confronted with injustice and come to know the individuals, families and communities that are directly affected.  The aim of our immersion experiences is not to build houses or to serve, but rather enter into a relationship of solidarity that leads to a deeper awareness and understanding of injustice and the true meaning of discipleship. Immersion sites include: Puebla, Nogales and Juarez, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador, Africa, Argentina Exchange.

The trip gives students the opportunity to experience the life of “los pequeños,” through examining the social, political, economic, and religious justice issues specific to Guatemala.

These Programs are an important part of the Brophy curriculum and the student experience. Their purpose is to teach students about social justice through an experience of service to people who know what it is to be pushed to the sides of society (marginalization).his mission reaches beyond a college-prep education, which is available in many other private and public secondary schools. What distinguishes a Jesuit education is the emphasis on a call to view the world from the perspective of marginalized people; a perspective which develops what Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J., the former General of the Society of Jesus, called "men and women for others."

St. Francis Xavier School fosters a learning environment whose community members appreciate God's presence in the world and respond generously in action to His love. In the Ignatian tradition, St. Francis Xavier School sees spiritual formation as integrally connected to the academic, social, emotional, and physical development of the whole child. The excellent educational traditions of St. Francis Xavier School are strongly supported by the families in the community, many of whose roots at the school go back three generations. A stable, dedicated faculty and staff work closely together to develop a cross-curricular and interactive curriculum that meets the needs of students. In collaboration with parents who are the primary educators of their children, St. Francis Xavier School challenges students to embark on a life-long journey of discovery of their God-given gifts and to share these gifts in service of God.
