Forever Saints Day
-
Alumni Make an Impact and Change Lives
-
Gifts by alumni on Forever Saints Day, our annual day of giving by LaSalle, Regis and Xavier alumni, will now support the new Xavier Impact Fund. Xavier Impact Fund provides support to three key areas of need at Xavier High School:
- Family Financial Assistance: Xavier's goal is to keep Catholic education as an affordable and viable option for all families, regardless of their economic situation. This goal is made attainable through Xavier Impact Fund's bolstering of Xavier's existing local family assistance program.
- New Teacher Endowment: Xavier teachers earn, on average, substantially less than their public school counterparts. This newly-established endowment, supported by Xavier Impact Fund, will help to close that gap.
- Faith and Academics: Xavier continues to flourish in its ability to help students deepen their faith and prepare them for success in and all endeavors they wish to pursue beyond high school. Xavier Impact Fund will help Xavier continue to grow existing opportunities and launch new initiatives to help students in their faith and academic pursuits.

Next Forever Saints Day...
The next Forever Saints Day will be held on January 28, 2021.
Traditionally held in the spring, Forever Saints Day 2021 will be moving to January 28th to coincide with Catholic Schools Week. FSD 2021 will also feature the induction of our 2021 Alumni Hall of Fame class. Mark you calendars for this new date to celebrate our past, present and future of Catholic education!
NOTE: Proceeds from Forever Saints Day will support the Xavier Foundation's new "Xavier Impact Fund." Learn more about how this new fund will change lives through Catholic education.

THANK YOU! With support from Lancers, Royals and Saints from all around the world, we raised more than $78,000!

We are indeed blessed. Watch the sections of our livestream below (videos of individual interviews will be posted soon!)

Thank You, United SAINTS of America!
The United SAINTS of America responded in a BIG way on Forever Saints Day. LaSalle/Regis/Xavier Alumni and other supporters poured in their generosity from all over the country (and the world!). Thanks to at least one donation from every state in the country AND three international donations, we were able to unlock all $30,000 in regional matching gifts. The matching gifts were offered by several generous alumni from LaSalle, Regis and Xavier. THANK YOU, UNITED SAINTS OF AMERICA! -
