Participate in Xavier's Lenten Giving Drive!
Project Loaves & Fishes
Each year during Lent, Xavier invites the parent community to join the faculty, staff and administration in a school-wide giving event—Project Loaves & Fishes—which benefits families in need at Xavier.

Xavier is collecting donations of food staples, gift cards, Easter treats, Xavier gear and goodies for abundant Easter baskets. These baskets show our love, support and care for families making tremendous sacrifices for their daughters to be part of our school community. 

Donate now!
Xavier needs your help to meet this need in our community, which is even greater due to the pandemic.

Click here to learn more about Project Loaves & Fishes and to make a donation before March 12. Every dollar counts!
Hike Piestewa Peak with XCP Moms on Feb. 26!
Our February hike will be the back trail at Piestewa Peak on Friday, Feb. 26 at 9 a.m.

We will have a moderate hike leading around the back of the mountain and catching the lower half of the Summit trail down. This hike is approximately 1.5 hours and will be an exhilarating but manageable hike for all levels. 

Please try to carpool, as spaces are limited. We’ll meet at the end parking lot on East Squaw Peak Drive

Can’t wait to see you there!! “The Mountains Are Calling, I Must Go” John Muir
