Xavier Veteran’s Day Celebration

Xavier Veteran’s Day Celebration

Calling All Heroes! To celebrate Veterans Day, we are looking for veterans from our Xavier and Appleton communities to come and share their experiences with Xavier’s 7th grade class.

In Social Studies class, the 7th graders will be working in groups compiling interview questions to ask the veterans.

Then on Wednesday, November 8th, veterans can arrive at 8 am for our assembly honoring their service and stay for the student interview and a light breakfast until 9:40 am.

If you know of a veteran that would be interested in sharing their story please email social studies teacher Blake Hensley at bhensley@xaviercatholicschools.org.

FORMED Video of the Month for September – St. John Nepomucene

FORMED Video of the Month for September – St. John Nepomucene

The FORMED Video of the Month is “Can the Homeless Keep You From Hell?”.

Have you ever came upon a homeless person on a street corner and you felt that nudge to do something but your scared and you don’t know what is helpful? So you avoid eye contact. Jesus makes it crystal clear that we need to serve the poor. Yet every time we see an opportunity, we feel intimidated. How do we get over that?

Take the advice of Blake Brouillette, a young man who’s the director of Christ in the City, a ministry to the poor. For eight years now, he’s been working with people on the streets. Learn how to treat and feel about the homeless as Chris Stefanick interviews Blake Brouillette. Let’s do as Jesus taught us and help serve the poor.
