St. Francis Xavier's College, Tai Kok Tsui

St. Francis Xavier's College (SFXC; Chinese: 聖芳濟書院 or 聖芳濟 in short) is a Catholic secondary school for boys run by the Marist Brothers, located in Tai Kok Tsui, Yau Tsim Mong District,[1] Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The school was founded by Jesuit Fathers in Shanghai in 1874, later in 1893 Marist Brothers were invited to teach in the college and took over full responsibility of it in 1895.

Due to the religion policies of the Communist China, the Brothers were forced to leave Shanghai and moved to Hong Kong in 1949.

Yet not alone for worldly fame, Success or honour, wealth or name; For God and our Faith, first place we claim: The boys of St. Francis Xavier's.

Then, vivat, crescat, floreat, As the years go rolling on, And we leave our books and our benches, And schooltime-joys are gone; Whatever our future days may bring, Our Alma Mater's praise we'll sing, And at her feet new laurels fling: The boys of St. Francis Xavier's.
