Who we are

StFX Chaplaincy is an active element of the personal and spiritual dimension of St. Francis Xavier University. Our Chaplaincy Team, together with many other areas of StFX, strive to enhance the many dynamics of Campus Ministry and community!

The University Chapel serves to provide a place for spiritual worship for students, alumni, faculty, staff, administration, and the local community.

The Chapel is open to people of all faiths and for all those searching for meaning in their lives.

The Chapel is open every day for students to use for quiet reflection, prayer and even for studying during exam preparations. In keeping with our Roman Catholic faith tradition, Mass is offered every Sunday with most students attending the 5:00 PM "Student" Mass. Daily Mass is also celebrated. For a complete list of times see Liturgical Celebrations on Campus.

St. Francis Xavier University Chapel History

History of the StFX University Chapel

Located on University Avenue, in the heart of Lower Campus, the University Chapel is the center of worship for the Christian community at St. FX.

The University Chapel, erected in 1948, was dedicated to St. Francis Xavier in memory of Dr. John E. Somers, an alumnus from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The old chapel had little provisions for the future as it could only hold a small percentage of the student population. The present chapel accommodates 650 and the University Auditorium which is located in the basement of the new structure seats 700.

An interesting aspect of the chapel's interior are the structures created by former St. FX artist-in-residence, the late Angus MacGillivary. A magnificent Celtic cross was one of his masterpieces along with the 'ark of the covenant' tabernacle as well as the guardian angels of the tabernacle. Angus MacGillivary, once a hardrock miner, was one of the faculty members in the St. FX Fine Art Department until the time of his death in 1978.

The power of Christian prayer Abide with us
O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.
