August 2026 / Issue #2

Dear Xavier Moms,

As summer winds down, the Mothers’ Guild is gearing up for another wonderful year of connection, service, and community. August brings many exciting welcome-back events, and we loved seeing our campus come alive again!

We are especially excited to welcome the Class of 2030! We look forward to strengthening our connection as you get involved at Xavier and build your family’s legacy in our community.

Please mark your calendars for our first Mothers’ Guild General Meeting on Monday, September 14 at 6 PM. We hope to see both new and returning Xavier moms there. Please RSVP below.

Throughout the year, be sure to visit the Mothers’ Guild website for quick resources, important dates, and the most up-to-date Guild information.

I look forward to partnering with you as we continue building a vibrant and connected Xavier community. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Warmly,

Kelli Grove (Henley '30, Harper '29)

Mothers’ Guild President
