What an exciting day it was here at Xavier as we hosted our second ever Xavier Catholic Extraordinary Encounter Day (XCEED) Conference on Monday, Sept. 28th! We would like to thank all of our guest speakers who inspired and challenged our Saints in their various Impact Sessions. These sessions were all aimed at helping our students further enrich their relationship with God and deepen their Catholic faith. Topics included mental health, race, social responsibility, respect for life, music, fitness, current events/politics, science, and more. We would like to especially thank our keynote speaker, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, who lived up to this nickname of the "Dynamic Deacon," and delivered a fiery and inspiring message about who we are as Catholics and what our role is in the world. We also thank featured speaker, Kimberly Fitten, who addressed how to discuss issues like race, racism and racial injustice. Adoration and Reconciliation was also available throughout the day for students.
This year our XCEED Conference will be held on Monday, September 28, 2020. This conference is a day free from academics to allow students, parents, and teachers to delve deeper into their faith.
