Xaveri Congo was founded in 1952/53 in Congo. The foundation of Xaveri Congo was also the beginning of the African Xaveri Movement that spread also to different other African countries like Burundi (Xaveri Burundi), Rwanda (Xaveri Rwanda) and South Africa (Xaveri South Africa).[5] Unlike the scouts Xaveri regarded itself as apostolic movement.[6]
