Viatorian Mission and Ministry
Catholic Faith + Viatorian Values
Throughout the world, Viatorians raise up communities where faith is lived, deepened, and celebrated. The name Viator means traveler, implying a lifelong journey of discovery and learning. Through service, retreats, liturgical experiences, and theology classes, our students embark on their personal spiritual journeys. Our community embraces and welcomes students of all backgrounds, faiths, and viewpoints.
Catholic Identity
Fueled by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, Saint Viator is ignited to express our Catholic, Viatorian faith through study, prayer, and action.
-
Intellectually, we learn about our faith
-
Communally, we gather around the altar
-
Individually, we are inspired to help others through servant leadership
-
Collectively we include and embrace people of all backgrounds.
Viatorian Community
A number of Viatorian priests, brothers, associates, and pre-associates are currently active in daily life at Saint Viator High School. Together, they work to animate the school's mission of providing religious formation and an academic program of excellence to young men and women.

Diversity and Solidarity
Viatorian spirituality is based on acknowledging and teaching all members of society. We approach our mission with an open mind, seeing the world the way others see it, and sharing the gospel to promote positive change.
Our Diversity and Solidarity Initiative is grounded in the Gospel of Jesus, our Catholic Social Teaching, and our Viatorian tradition. The principle of solidarity in Catholic teaching includes justice and the inclusion and participation of all people in all aspects of our life together.
Our efforts will broaden our students' perspectives so they are inclusive in thought and action as they seek to transform the communities they encounter. By being more inclusive of all people and ideas, we more fully commit to educating the whole person. We have an important role to play in growing leaders who will be beacons of inclusivity for the next generation and beyond.
