Xavier University and the Carmelite Missionaries have signed a memorandum of agreement for the operation, management and administration of a formation and training facility located inside the Manresa Complex.

The Manresa Tagbuan Center, which is under the Research and Social Outreach Office, is composed of two multi-purpose buildings and four dormitories used for formation, training and similar activities primarily of Xavier University, but available to external clients as well.

The facility hopes to provide a venue for skill- and capacity-building, and a place for enhancing and deepening the social orientation and engagement of faculty and students as well as XU's partners in promoting the Greater Societal Engagement development goal of the university.
