At St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School, we don’t just wear random uniform colors – we wear Purple and Black – colors of strength, sacrifice, and unity.
We carry tradition.
We stand for courage.
We fight with honor.
We are the St FX Knights.
But even Knights need something to rally behind-
A spirit that reminds us of who we are when the game is close,
when the pressure rises,
when the odds seem against us, when victory seems impossible.
Today… that spirit has a name.
Not just any name-
A name rooted in faith.
A name that echoes through history.
A name that reminds us that true strength…
Is not just power-
But humility.
Not just victory-
But integrity.
Not just triumph-
But being gracious in winning and losing
Inspired by Saint Francis Xavier-
A man who showed the world that greatness comes not from taking…
But from giving.
Not from pride…
But from purpose.
So today, we introduce and welcome more than a mascot. We introduce and welcome who shows us how
To lead with courage.
To compete with integrity.
On the field and on the court.
Knights-are you ready?
Are you ready to rise?
Are you ready to show them who we are?
Then let’s stand up… Make some noise… And welcome…
The spirit of the Knights… OUR NEW MASCOT…
FRANCIS…
