AAXS in Hong Kong and Shanghai

Last 13 August, Saturday, Fr. Johnny Go (`79) met with the Xavier alumni residing in Hong Kong . He was accompanied by the Golden Jubilee Chairman, Hero Yu (`72) and the Chairman of the Alumni Homecoming `06, Dobbin Tan (`81). The meeting was organized by Mr. Ben Tan, Jr. (`80), who had learned about the school’s efforts in organizing our alumni overseas (also called “X-PATS”).

Enkindled X-Pats Ignite
Last 23 April, the X-PATS of San Francisco congregated in the McLaren Hall of the Jesuit-run University of San Francisco. Over 40 alumni showed up for the event, which began with a Holy Eucharist presided by Fr. Johnny Go.

X-Pats Gather in Los Angeles
The Xavier alumni meeting was held last Saturday afternoon, 16 April 2005, on the campus of Loyola High School of Los Angeles. A record number of 43 Xaverians attended the affair, which began with the
main program conducted in LHS's Alumni Room. As per the practice in Vancouver and New York, the program began with the National Anthems of the U.S. and the Philippines, followed by the Invocation led by Fr. Johnny Go, who immediately proceeded to present his report on Xavier School.

XS Alumni Meet in NYC
New York City, New York -- After the successful alumni meeting in Vancouver, Fr. Johnny Go (`79) and Hero Yu (`72) flew to New York City to meet with our alumni who are based in the Big Apple. The meeting was held on April 9, Saturday, at Xavier High School at West 16th Street. Unlike the meeting in Vancouver as well as those scheduled in L.A. and San Francisco, this was to be the very first time that the Xaverians in New York would get together, so Fr. Go and Hero were only expecting about five to six alumni to show up. However, to their surprise, thirteen alumni attended the event, more than double their expectation. The most senior alumni were from Class `72 and the most junior from as young as Class `03.

XS Alumni Meet in Vancouver
Vancouver, Canada -- April 4, 2005. A group of Xavier School alumni led by EDWARD CHUA (`66) gathered at the Canadian Martyrs' Parish in Richmond, Vancouver. There were approximately 30 alumni from the 60's all the way to the 2000's. A number of them brought along their wives and children.
