Hello 5th and 6th grade students! It is the time of year for Band to start!! If you have ever listened to music, heard music before, enjoyed a song, like to hang out with friends, and enjoy being part of a fun group, then band at Xavier is for you! 5th grade is the first year that students at Xavier can start participating in Band. If you are a 6th grader and you didn't start last year, it is not too late to join! We would love to have you. As most anyone who has played in a band before can say, the more people in the band, the more fun it is--so if you're interested, try bringing a friend along!

Xavier Parish friends, we are looking for more people to teach Children’s Liturgy on Sunday mornings! It takes place during mass and is about 20 minutes long. It involves reading the gospel and teaching the message at the kids’ level! Then some coloring to wrap it up! It’s easy and a great way to volunteer in your parish! If we can get enough volunteers, it will be a once-a-month commitment! Contact Emily Domeyer if interested at 563-599-5069.

Xavier will continue with our health and safety protocols that have been recommended by Dubuque County Public Health and the CDC. Please remember that if your child has one of the High Risk Symptoms (new cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell), please keep your child home. If your child has two or more of the Low Risk Symptoms (fever, headache, muscle & body aches, sore throat, runny nose, congestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) please keep your child home. Also, please remember to take your child's temperature each morning prior to sending them to school. We as adults need to do our best to be vigilant with ourselves & our children when it comes to handwashing, social distancing, wearing our masks when we can’t be 6 feet apart from people, & avoiding large crowds of people, as well as following the other guidelines provided by the CDC on keeping ourselves healthy and protected from COVID 19. With your help we can make this a safe and healthy school year!
