By late 1870, the marble walls had been built to a height of 54 feet and the transept was finished. The entrance on Fifth Avenue, measuring 70 feet tall, had also been finished. Over a hundred workers were busy quarrying marble from Pleasantville, north of New York City.
In addition to a small monastic community, they looked after orphans. With the downfall of Napoleon, the Trappists returned to France in 1815, but the neighboring orphanage was maintained by the diocese into the late nineteenth century. St. Patrick's Cathedral is clad in marble and has several dozen stained glass windows. It measures 332 feet long, with a maximum width of 174 feet at the transepts. The bronze doors that form the cathedral's main entrance on Fifth Avenue are flanked by towers with spires rising 329.5 feet . The northern tower contains nineteen bells, and the interior has two pipe organs.

The new bells were blessed by Archbishop Michael Corrigan on August 15, 1897, though they had not been installed yet. The framework for the bells was installed in the north tower the next month. At the time of their completion, St. Patrick's bells were the largest of any church in the city; by comparison, Trinity Church had ten bells and Grace Church had nine. Also in 1897, the Spiritual Sons of De La Salle funded a new altar for the cathedral. A lack of funding precluded spires from being installed when the cathedral was completed. By late 1885, spires were planned to be installed at a cost of $190,000.
Campus
The X-Women teams include basketball, cross country, track and field, hockey, rugby and soccer. In 2015, the new residences were ranked best university residences in Canada by UniversityHub. Each room is equipped with its own bathroom, fridge, microwave, flat-screen TV, and is similar to a hotel room. The residence also includes a gym, movie room, laundry room, fully equipped kitchens on each floor, and a lounge on the fourth floor featuring a 22' coffered vaulted ceiling and large bay windows. Each building is heated and cooled by using 26 geothermal wells, and is designed to be LEED Gold Certified for energy efficiency.
In the late 1920s, St. Xavier High School began competing against Elder, Purcell, and Roger Bacon high schools in baseball, basketball, and football. On October 6, 1931, the four schools founded the Greater Cincinnati League, known today as the Greater Catholic League. In the 1850s, falling enrollment, threat of bankruptcy, and cholera brought about proposals to close the high school division. Jesuit schools had opened in the South, contributing to declining enrollment. The situation was worsened by the local anti-Catholic and Know Nothing sentiment that culminated in the Cincinnati riot of 1853. Beginning the fall of 1854, St. Xavier stopped admitting boarders altogether, becoming a primarily local institute, to reduce the financial burden on its students' families.

As a result, several additional dioceses were created in New York state. The Diocese of New York was made an archdiocese by Pope Pius IX on July 19, 1850. Bishop John Joseph Hughes was raised to the level of archbishop soon afterward. As early as 1850, Hughes determined that the growing Archdiocese of New York needed a large cathedral to replace the older cathedral in Lower Manhattan. The site faced the gardens of Columbia University to the west, but the surrounding area was otherwise characterized by rocks and unopened streets. Even so, Hughes believed the site would grow into a populous business area.
The position will interact with various constituency groups both internal and external to the University. The percentage of students who are a part of the American middle class at the bare minimum. The percentage of students who received an income-based federal Pell grant intended for low-income students.
Until 2007, the Blueprint was a member of the National Scholastic Press Association. It replaced the Xavier Prep, which was published until at least the 1940s. Additionally, St. Xavier is undergoing an initiative to organize and archive old editions of the Blueprint dating back into the 20th century. As of 2016, the Bombers are one of 15 football teams in the U.S. that wear GPS-based activity trackers developed by Catapult Sports to prevent injuries. As of February 10, 2017, 1,178 St. Xavier students were eligible to participate in OHSAA-sanctioned competitions, placing the school in the AAA boys class for the 2017–18 and 2018–19 school years.

It provides an education in the Jesuit tradition, which emphasizes learning through community service, interdisciplinary courses and the engagement of faith, theology, philosophy and ethics studies. The chapel is separated from the apse by a 48-foot-tall glass wall that rests on a 23-foot-wide (7.0 m) glass beam.
