As was Noreen's way, even though she is not physically with us, she continues to encourage service to others. In the spirit of service, a scholarship fund has been established in Noreen's name for those 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School who show Christian leadership as active members of the Youth Group and give of their time in service to others. Proceeds will be shared equally between the scholarship fund and St. Francis Xavier Catholic School.
Exciting News! We are adding a 10K to our event. Students, ages 14 and under, who register by the early deadline of
Dec 2 for the 5K will be $15 and for the 10K $25. After
Dec 2 all registration fees will be the adult late fee price.
