Angel of Hope Prayer Service

The Angel of Hope statue at Xavier High School is a beautiful symbol of hope for all who are grieving the loss of a child. This Advent season, we are called to pray for everyone who is seeking hope and light throughout their days. All are invited and welcome on Friday, December 6th to attend the annual prayer service at the Angel of Hope statue (located on the east side of Xavier near the Activities Entrance) and lift those up who are in need this Advent season. The service begins at 7:00 PM and concludes at approximately 7:30 PM.

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception will be celebrated on December 9. This year, for the Archdiocese of Dubuque, it is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation, but we encourage you to still celebrate Mary’s Immaculate Conception by going to Daily Mass at one of the parishes in the Cedar Rapids area!
