FOUNDATION UPDATE: Final Week of Xavier Impact Fund Volunteer Phone Calls!
Thank you for helping us make a difference and change lives through Catholic education at Xavier! Your prayers and contributions to the Xavier Impact Fund will support families with increased financial assistance, grow the new teacher endowment, and advance the faith/academic initiatives at Xavier.

Also, thanks to all of our amazing volunteers who are passionate about how Xavier has made an impact on their lives and families, we have phone calls reaching out throughout the community to seek financial support and meet our goals - but we still need your help! Gifts of every size make a big difference – please consider making a cash, stock or in-kind gift today. Please call us at 319-378-4571 with any questions; online gifts are made easy by visiting www.XavierSaints.org/Impact.

If you cannot give at this time, we ask you to pray for our students, faculty, and staff – and all the families who come together to make Catholic education possible. With our deepest appreciation, thank you for your prayerful and financial support!

“To change the world, we must be good to those who cannot repay us.” – Pope Francis
