Philosophy
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 we are 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
Weekly Mass
During the school year, Mass will be held in the Chapel every Friday morning at 7am.
