FATHER FRANK (FRANCIS) LOESCH S.J.
Fr. Frank (Francis) Loesch S.J. was born on 3 Sept. 1897 in an agrarian family that migrated to Minnesota, US, from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg about 150 years ago. His father was a school teacher but poor health forced him to quit the same and become a farmer. More than what he learned at school, Frank learned a lot at home and on the farm.
THE SCHOOL EMBLEM
The Coat-of-Arms of St. Xavier's School, originally designed by Fr. Thomas M. Mackessack, S.J., is majestic and meaningful. The beautiful symbolism contained in it provides a wealth of meaning and inspiration. At the top of the shield is emblazoned the lotus, the flower par excellence of India, signifying our country.
St. FRANCIS XAVIER (1506-1552)
St. Francis Xavier, the patron saint of our school, was born in Spain at the Xavier castle on 8 April 1506. His association with Ignatius of Loyola changed his life. He was ordained a priest along with Ignatius on 24 June 1537 and they with four others founded the Society of Jesus. On 7 April, 1541, Francis embarked in a sailing vessel for India, and after a tedious and dangerous voyage landed at Goa, on 6 May, 1542
