Every year, Catholic Schools around the country dedicate a week to celebrating what makes them unique- their Catholic faith. At Xavier, Catholic Schools Week activities include fun dress-up days, an all-school Mass with the feeder schools, and a scavenger hunt. The national theme was “Catholic Schools Raise the Standards” which encourages faith along with strong academic achievement. An added bonus to the week included a snow day on Wednesday and two-hour delays on both Thursday and Friday.

“I never had the opportunity to go to a Catholic school growing up. Now that I have been working at Xavier, I have noticed that the students’ faith guides their decisions whether they know it or not.” -Fr. Vu
