As Xavier marked its 125th anniversary in 1972, school leaders created the Hall of Fame to recognize those "who have been truly outstanding in the service of God, their fellow men, their country, or civic community."
The Xavier Hall of Fame includes teachers, doctors, attorneys, bishops, a Supreme Court Justice, two Pulitzer Prize winners, and a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Proceeds from the dinner benefiting Xavier’s Ignatian Scholars Program, which supports promising Xavier students in their journey to actualize their best selves.
Xavier will induct six members into the Xavier Hall of Fame on Friday, October 24, 2025, at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers.Registration will go live summer 2025. For questions regarding the event, please email Ryan Kirwan, Director of Special Events, at kirwanr@xavierhs.org
