The President’s Gala has been a cherished tradition, bringing together some of StFX’s most dedicated supporters in celebration of the Xaverian spirit. This year, we’re excited to introduce a fresh take on that tradition: The President’s Night of Xaverian Legacy, an evening dedicated to honouring the generosity and loyalty of our President’s Club donors.

Hosted by Dr. Hakin and his wife Linda in the stunning Mulroney Hall, this reimagined experience will be more than an event. It will be a journey through the history, impact, and future of StFX.

A President’s Night of Xaverian Legacy is a celebration of community, gratitude, and the lasting legacy of giving. We invite you to visit our webpage for more information and to purchase tickets.
