St. Francis Xavier School

St. Francis Xavier School, under the leadership of Jesus Christ, guarantees our students quality Catholic Education.
Our loving and caring community, involving teachers, parents and children, committed to spiritual and academic excellence, provides essential skills and values, resulting in knowledgeable active Christians, contributing to an everchanging world for the glory of God.
And St. Francis Xavier is doing something about the rising costs too and they prudently invest it with a Catholic perspective, and this returns interest annually that goes to support the school, narrowing the gap between costs and an affordable Catholic education.
St. Francis Xavier is a special place. If it weren't for the Foundation's help the Parish would need to support the School to make up all of the difference.
And every extra dollar of income coming from the Foundation will free up a dollar of support from the Parish, which then can then be put to the Lord's work in other ways.
Your tax deductible gift is multiplied year after year. Each gift keeps on giving.
