Faith Life at Xavier

Xavier High School is a part of the tradition and mission of the Roman Catholic Church and the Archdiocese of Dubuque. As a part of that tradition Xavier is committed to:

• Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus in a Catholic faith filled environment that motivates each student, staff member, parent/guardian and supporter to share in that mission.
• Developing each person’s spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical gifts
• Respecting each individual person’s unique value and talents
• Building God’s kingdom through service to our community, nurturing family relationships, and modeling Christ in our everyday actions
• Creating an atmosphere of justice and trust through embracing the Gospel in our decisions and actions
• Fostering stewardship through personal commitment, responsibility, and accountability to one another and to our world
• Providing a learning atmosphere where creativity and innovation are honored and celebrated
