Wisdom is a wellspring of life to one who finds it. ~ Proverbs 16.22

A Home Away from Home

The Sisters of St. Martha and St. Francis Xavier University provide a unique home away from home for our campus community. Students, staff and faculty are invited to enjoy the blessings of Wellspring.

To enjoy the blessings of Wellspring: On a daily basis two Sisters of St. Martha serve in the Center, which includes the following space:

• A gracious gathering room
• A fully equipped kitchenette
• A quiet reflection space
• A private sitting room
• A large prayer area

Focus: To enhance the quality of life of the St. F. X. community through a welcoming Martha presence conducive to the development of persons.

Wellspring offers an oasis experience to students, staff and faculty, who come for quiet reflection, prayer, study, to share a cup of tea, to make and meet friends. All events and activities held at Wellspring are in light of its focus to serve the Xaverian family in the Martha tradition of Gospel hospitality to all who come.
