November 2026 / Issue #5

Hello, Xavier Moms! The Mothers’ Guild is known for community events, mother-daughter celebrations, and wonderful opportunities to connect. Here’s something you may not know: we’re the largest donor to Xavier College Preparatory! Yes, you read that right!

Every year, the Mothers’ Guild hosts our Dinner & Auction, and this year’s event, Sweet Home Arizona, promises to be a spectacular evening. What makes this night special goes beyond a wonderful party: it’s an investment in the future of every Xavier Gator through the Xavier Impact Fund.

For generations, the Mothers’ Guild has built a legacy of women supporting women, mothers supporting daughters, and a community investing in its future. Now it’s our turn to carry that legacy forward.

We invite you to join us on November 14 for the Sweet Home Arizona Dinner & Auction. When Xavier moms come together, extraordinary things happen.

With gratitude,

Kelli Grove (Henley '30, Harper '29) | Mothers’ Guild President
