Blessed Carlo Acutis

O God, our Father, thank you for giving us Carlo, model of life for young people, and a message of love for all. You made him fall in love with your Son, Jesus, making the Eucharist, his “highway to heaven.” You gave him Mary, as beloved Mother, and with the rosary you made him sing the praises of her tenderness. Accept his prayer for us. Attend especially to the poor, whom he loved and helped. Through his intercession, may I receive the grace I need. Amen.

Calling All Heroes!

To celebrate Veterans Day, we are looking for veterans from our Xavier and Appleton communities to come and share their experiences with Xavier's 7th grade class. In Social Studies class, the 7th graders will be working in groups compiling interview questions to ask the veterans. Then on Wednesday, November 9th, veterans can arrive at 8 am for our assembly honoring their service and stay for the student interview and a light breakfast until 9:30 am. If you know of a veteran that would be interested in sharing their story please email 7th-grade social studies teacher Blake Hensley at bhensley@xaviercatholicschools.org.
