History

The Jesuits first came to Patna in 1919, and in early 1930 were approached to set up a school in the city of Patna. Fr. Loesch, assisted by Fr. Marshall D. Moran, opened a Cambridge school to serve Patna and Bihar. Later, in 1940, St. Xavier's High School, Patna was built at Gandhi Maidan Marg. Then in 2009 the Jesuits founded St. Xavier’s College, Patna. Classes began at a temporary location opposite St. Michael's High School, Digha. In June 2011 the college moved to its permanent location on a sprawling, 36- acre campus at XTTI on Digha Ashiana Road.

The College is situated beside the river Ganga and like the flowing river would ensure that the streams of Gyan keep on flowing and liberating people, building bridges of understanding. The Sun with the letters IHS (first three letters for Jesus in Greek) is a symbol for the Society of Jesus. The emblem within the emblem, containing crown and crescent moon, is the coat of arms of the noble family of its patron, St. Francis Xavier.
