St. Francis Xavier Families,

Today our 8th graders walked through the halls for the very last time! Yesterday they had a retreat with the campus minister from Bishop Stang High School, and they had an awesome time together at Six Flags!

Big graduation weekend this weekend! We are so proud of our 8th graders, and are so grateful for the many years they have been here. A BIG thank you to the 8th grade families as well for all the ways you have supported St. Francis over the past 11 years!

Congratulations, class of 2025!

Looking ahead to next week, we are excited to celebrate with our PreK and K families!

In His Merciful Love,

Mrs. Rogers

Just a reminder that these ceremonies are your child's last day!

Hails and Fairewells!

Ms. Katz has decided not to return for next year. She is going to be continuing in Catholic education in the Diocese of Providence, much closer to her home. We wish her all the best.

We have filled the 3rd grade position for the 2025-2026 school year. We are excited to welcome Miss. Bridget Eddlem. Miss. Eddlem graduated from Framingham State University. She has a deep passion for Catholic education. For the past three years, she has taught fourth and second grade at Our Lady of Lourdes School in Taunton. She is thrilled to be continuing her teaching journey here at St. Francis Xavier. Bridget cannot wait to get to know our third grade students and families and be involved in our wonderful community.
