September 2026 / Issue #3

Dear Xavier Moms,

The first-day jitters have faded, routines are taking shape, and it has been a joy to watch each class settle into the rhythm of Xavier life.


Our seniors are embracing the opportunities that come with their final year, proudly leading our campus with confidence and school spirit. Our juniors are beginning to focus on the exciting college application journey ahead. Sophomores are building on last year's successes and are already looking forward to another spirited rally season. Meanwhile, our freshwomen are finding their footing, forming new friendships, and discovering what it means to be a Xavier Gator.


As we look ahead, we're excited to gather as a community for many of Xavier’s most cherished traditions. Following a wonderful X Breakfast, we now turn our attention to Mothers’ Guild annual Dinner & Auction, Senior Treats, and Senior Fashion Show. Each event offers a meaningful opportunity to connect, serve, and support our students, faculty, and families while celebrating our shared commitment to Xavier’s mission.


The Mothers' Guild remains committed to building a welcoming community where every family feels connected and engaged. We look forward to seeing you for our first meeting on September 14 at 6:00 PM in Founders Hall. RSVP >


Go Gators!

Help Alumnae Give Back


We need your help to reach our goal of 30 filled diaper bags for the Sisters of Life and 120 hygiene kits for St. Vincent de Paul Outreach. During Reunion Weekend, our alumnae will come together for a hands-on service project to prepare these much-needed items for those in our community. All items are available through the Amazon link below and your purchase will be delivered to Xavier. Thanks for helping our alumnae give back!
