A Blessed Holy Triduum from XJA

As we enter into the season of Easter, we humbly ask Christ to guide our actions, that they may always be done through self-giving love in imitation of Christ's example of service, bringing hope and joy to all. Let us pray for the continued work towards XJA's opening.

"So when he had washed their feet [and] put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, 'Do you realize what I have done for you?'" (John 13:12)

We're excited to share some incredible news! On Tuesday, March 5th, the Cincinnati Reds, P&G, and the Cincinnati Zoo, announced that Bond Hill is the proud recipient of the 2024 Community Makeover Day, slated for August 1st. This marks the 15th year of this remarkable event, and we're thrilled to announce that the Xavier Jesuit Academy will serve as the anchor project site.
