The administration and operation of Saint Francis Xavier School is an element of the mission of Saint Francis Xavier Parish. In 1990, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua entrusted the pastoral care of the parish to the Philadelphia Congregation of the Oratory of St. Phillip Neri. The Very Reverend Georges G. Thiers, C.O. is currently the Oratory Provost, while Reverend Paul C. Convery, C.O. serves as Parish Priest.

Principal, Mr. Joseph Mock is a dedicated Catholic school educator and leader with more than two decades of experience serving students, families, and school communities. A proud product of PK–12 Catholic education, he understands firsthand the lasting impact of a faith-filled education and the importance of a strong partnership among students, families, teachers, and parish communities.

Mr. Mock earned his Bachelor of Science in Education from Bloomsburg University and his master’s degree in Educational Leadership from The University of Scranton. His leadership is rooted in Catholic identity, academic excellence, meaningful relationships, and a commitment to helping every student discover their God-given gifts.

Inspired by the life and mission of Saint Francis Xavier, Mr. Mock believes in forming young people who are grounded in faith, open to learning, committed to serving others, and prepared to make a positive difference in the world. He is honored to lead Saint Francis Xavier School as the community continues to grow together: Rooted in Faith. United in Purpose. Inspired to Grow.
