What makes St. X so special? Ask the students who lived it.

As members of the Class of 2026 move on to their next chapter, three recent graduates reflected on the brotherhood, relationships, and experiences that shaped their time as Tigers.

St. X proudly welcomed members of our 50-Year Club back to campus for this year’s Golden Tiger Reunion, celebrating a lifetime connection to their alma mater. We were honored to host 240 alumni representing 28 graduating classes from 1945 through 1975 for an afternoon of brotherhood, memories, and St. X tradition.

A special recognition goes to our oldest alumnus in attendance, Leo Jenkins ’45, who joined us at 98 years young. The Golden Tiger Reunion is one of many opportunities to keep our alumni connected, celebrating the lifelong bond that defines St. X.

Lunching with my high school buddies in the @stxtigers gym. The St Xavier Golden Tiger reunion invites anyone who graduated at least 50 years ago. That makes my class of 1975 the babies in the building today! 🎓 #GoTigers

True brotherhood in action

What began as an innocent game of basketball with friends turned into the fight of a lifetime for junior Wyatt Anderson. After suffering a severe cervical spinal cord injury in November 2025 that left him paralyzed from the neck down, Wyatt faced months of rehabilitation and recovery.

Guided by President Colistra's "call and repeat" motto: “Whatever hurts my brother hurts me; whatever helps my brother helps me,” Wyatt’s classmates stepped up in a powerful way, organizing a schedule to ensure he was never alone between physical therapy sessions at the hospital.

Through faith, determination, and the unwavering support of his St. X brothers, family, medical team, and community, Wyatt continued to push forward. This spring, fewer than five months after his injury, he crossed the finish line of the Kentucky Derby Festival's MiniMarathon in under two hours, an incredible milestone in a remarkable recovery journey.

The men who taught me to be a Brother weren’t Jesuits.

They were Xaverian Brothers who shaped me long before I knew I’d follow them.

Today is the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. It’s also Religious Brothers Day.
