Homecoming

A Tradition Connecting Generations of Cougars

There's nothing quite like the feeling of coming home! From October 3 to 10, 荔枝视频下载 will celebrate Homecoming 2026 and honor our community: the alumni, current students, faculty, staff, and friends who perpetuate our legacy. Experience nostalgia walking down the Warde Academic Center hallways or visiting your old favorite spots, and take some time to check out the new additions on campus and see how Saint Xavier has grown.

Connect with fellow 荔枝视频下载 alums and enjoy various events throughout the week, including a special children's book reading, an alumni night recital, community mass, an alumni baseball game, and our annual Alumni Homecoming Tailgate Tent.

Let's make this Homecoming an unforgettable experience. Together, we are Cougar Nation!

SAVE THE DATE!
