UPDATE- We rejoice at the inauguration of Pope Francis, our first Jesuit Pope!

We continue with spotty phone service, so please continue to leave a message when you get the answering machine and we will get back to you as quickly as we can.

Please plan on attending THE XAVIER AWARD DINNER on June 21st.

Welcome to the Web site of the Xavier Society for the Blind. Our redesigned site has been made possible in part by a generous grant from the Order of Malta, and we are most grateful for their care and their support. Please feel free to explore, and share with us your comments and suggestions.

We were founded in 1900, and today we continue to provide spiritual and religious materials to individuals throughout the United States at no charge. We are the National Catholic Lending Library for the Blind, and we have a variety of events and programs with which we offer help our clients. We welcome your comments and suggestions.

If you are using a screen reader, there is a link farther along in this text titled “Register for Services”. For sighted readers, the link is at the upper-right side of this page. You will be asked for information to verify your identity, and we will contact you with a password that will let you enter the services section. You will be able to change your password when you make your first visit.

If you are not a regular user of our services, you do not need to register to explore our Web site. You will have to register to make a donation or adopt an owl or buy one of our CDs. (And we hope you will do that!)  Just click on the appropriate link below:
