The Friday before Thanksgiving will be especially hard for us this year, as it is traditionally the day we host the Thanksgiving Meal for all school families. As one of our favorite school community traditions, we are saddened by this. But if 2020 has taught us anything, it is that we need to rely on our faith and be grateful for the many gifts we have. We hope you reflect on your blessings this Thanksgiving and know how grateful we are for each of you.

Just in time for Christmas shopping! Order your St. Francis Xavier Spirit Wear now through November 22! Orders will be delivered to school and sent home with students in December.
