Xavier Catholic Schools to Remodel Existing Toyota Financial Services Building to Serve as Consolidated Middle School

Formerly the Xavier High School Foundation, the Xavier Catholic Schools Foundation will now lead fundraising efforts for all Catholic early learning centers (ELCs) and PK-12 Catholic schools in the Cedar Rapids/Marion metro area.

St. Joseph School will be dismissing at 12:40 PM on Tuesday, Aug. 27 due to the extreme heat and AC system unable to keep the school portion of the building sufficiently cool (ELC/Childcare will operate as normal as AC in that area is separate and sufficient to keep the space cool). Lunch will be served. No after-school activities at St. Joseph's.

We are aware of recent changes to schedules from other area metro schools due to the heatwave. Xavier Catholic Schools facilities (schools and early learning centers) will be open as normal on Monday, Aug. 26, 2024. Please know that we do not take this decision lightly and have plans in place to ensure the safety of all students and staff.

Mr. Kettmann's books will feature 10 different saints whose feast days are within a given month. Readers can learn about the saints, see an illustration of them, and even scan a QR code to learn more about them.

It has been determined that it is in the long-term best interest of parishes and Catholic education in the metro area to become a formalized school system.
