Season 9 of Dancing with the Saints is raising funds to support ALL PK-12 Xavier Catholic Schools and early learning centers via the Xavier Impact Fund. When combined with other efforts from the Xavier Catholic Schools Foundation this year (Parish Appeal, Business Appeal, Alumni Appeal/Forever Saints Day), our goal is to "build faith" in our schools.
The Xavier Catholic Schools Impact Fund will support the FAITH and BUILDING needs of our eight schools (early learning centers, elementary, middle, and high school) so we can ensure that faith remains a priority in our buildings while providing updated facilities where students can thrive as we work to develop disciples of Jesus Christ.

We had multiple history-making moments during our Dancing with the Saints: Season 8 live event and the most important one was the final number that was shared at the conclusion of the dance competition. Through the 'xceptional effort of our incredible dancing stars & dance pros along with support from DWTS voters & sponsors, we came together to make an IMPACT for our PK-12 Xavier Catholic School teachers. Together, we raised a Dancing with the Saints record of $260,000 in net proceeds to support our teachers! WHAT. A. NIGHT!
Thank you to all who helped make a difference for our teachers! All ten dances by our Season 8 duos were nothing short of 'Xtraordinary -- offering a host of breathtaking moments, tons of energy, and a whole lot of fun! THANK YOU to our Season 8 cast of stars and their dance pros for saying "YES" to dancing to support our teachers:
