There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Eccl 3:1-8

Plans Unveiled—Celebrate 2021 will be a fun, interactive, virtual event!!
-
While many things have changed in 2020, the commitment and dedication of our staff and students hasn’t. We are unbelievably proud and grateful that our students can be learning in person. It is essential that we raise funds in order to continue the excellence of Xavier Catholic Schools. That need has prompted the decision to hold Celebrate on its original date of January 30, 2021, but in an interactive, virtual format. This won’t be a typical virtual event; we have an interactive evening planned and encourage small groups to safely gather for watch parties.
-
Click here for a quick read explaining Celebrate overall and basic details for this year’s event and click here to go to the Celebrate Event Website.
Sponsors are always a pillar of our fundraising success. We have exciting plans to acknowledge our sponsors this year. Please consider supporting Celebrate in this way.
We still plan to have our traditional online silent auction and will also have a premium auction that will be online this year. Donations are needed and we hope you’ll consider donating!
