Today, the Xaverian Brothers fulfill their mission of serving the Church in its work of evangelization, particularly through the ministry of education, in eight nations of the world: Belgium, Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, England, Haiti, Kenya, Lithuania, and the United States.

Xaverian ministries in the United States are numerous and varied, depending on the age, capability and passion of the individual Brothers involved. In an effort to match their individual gifts with an expressed need of the Church to which they feel called and attracted, Brothers discern their ministry in dialogue with Congregational leaders. Xaverians are inspired by the words of their founder Theodore James Ryken that "nothing special is achieved without much labor, effort and zeal." They attempt to model their ministry after the way he saw his original vocation: as a conversion through which he "fell in love with the service of God."

Some Brothers reach out to the elderly, infirm and hospitalized, ministering God's healing touch of love in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Brothers also attend to the needs of on-going human and spiritual growth and development through retreat ministry, spiritual direction, conducting of workshops and seminars, directing religious education programs in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, South Carolina and Virginia.

Several retired Brothers reach out to the forgotten of our cities by visiting shut-in's, assisting in soup kitchens, teaching in GED programs and advocating for safe and affordable housing in Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York.

In Connecticut and New York programs organized and overseen by our Brothers assist the developmentally challenged citizens of their communities.

The original work of the Brothers continues in Brugge, Belgium at St. Francis Xavier Institute, a comprehensive school in the heart of medieval Brugge. In addition to the sponsoring of schools in Belgium, Xaverians minister in a variety of ways to the elderly, the infirm, the undocumented and those seeking spiritual renewal.

In England the Brothers maintain a house of hospitality outside of London for Brothers traveling to and from the missions in Africa, as well as to those on respite in the UK.

In Bolivia Brothers administer to the needs of street children and the rural forgotten by providing shelter, educational opportunities, guidance and friendship in the Department of Cochabamba in the cities of Chinguri and Cochabamba.

In Haiti the Xaverian ministry is one of being present with the rural poor of Hinche, assisting in educational and agricultural initiatives, collaborating with a developing orphanage and sponsoring a house in Port au Prince that provides living and educational opportunities for future leaders of this impoverished, war-torn country.

In Bungoma and Nairobi, Kenya the Brothers are forming young men who are aspiring to the Xaverian Way of Life, and who want to continue the Xaverian presence of educational service to the poor and marginalized that pioneer Brothers started in 1948 in this developing country. Service to the orphaned and run-away street children is a major focus of the young Xaverians. In the northern desert region of Lodwar, Xaverians minister at St. Kevin's Secondary School that prepares children of the Turkana tribe for further education.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo Xaverian ministries center upon education of youth at the "Institut Tutazamie" in Likasi, at St. Francis Xavier Primary School in Kikula, and at the "Institut Odari" in Lubumbashi. Young Brothers in formation are developing programs for the street children centering on education and social skills. Xaverians in Congo minister also in a variety of ways through parish work, agricultural work, work among the street children and education on all levels. Website for the ministries in Congo can be found at http://www.cfx.be/tutazamie and http://www.cfx.be/benbunda (French).

In Lithuania a Xaverian pioneers the newly developing youth ministry program in the Diocese of Panevezys, attempting to incorporate rural and small town parishes into the diocesan-wide programs.
