| Home / Who We Are |
We believe we are:
Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Catholic School on the Web. As you go through these pages that talk about our school, I hope you will sense the spirit of our school and the many great people that make up this great place! Our Principal, teachers, staff, parents and parishioners work together to give our children the best well rounded education and formation that we can. We know it takes all of us to guide our children to live out our Christian values. The center of it all is our faith in Jesus Christ who is the primary teacher of us all. I know that this is an important and big responsibility but I believe as we share our faith and more importantly live it out, we keep Christ central in our lives and teach our Children the same. So as you explore our Website, may you see a school that cares for our children and shares our Catholic traditions and beliefs to help form loving and faith filled people. Fr.
