PASTOR'S WELCOME

A Letter From Our Pastor, Fr. Ryan Healy

Dear Prospective Parent,

Greetings! I am Fr. Ryan Healy, and I am honored to introduce myself as the pastor and proud shepherd of our beloved St. Francis Xavier School community.

As you explore educational options for your child, I invite you to prayerfully consider St. Francis Xavier School. Elementary school is truly the building blocks of a strong foundation. While the Southcoast area offers great public and private schools, our parish elementary school stands out for its unique blend of academic excellence and faith-based values.

At our school, we actively cultivate faith, knowledge, and compassion. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, our educational mission extends beyond textbooks, nurturing the whole child in a supportive and values-driven environment. The children have opportunities to receive the Sacraments with school Masses and confession.

Our commitment to academic excellence is complemented by a focus on moral and spiritual development. In partnership with parents, we strive to instill virtues that will guide our students throughout their lives, fostering a sense of purpose and integrity.

Choosing a Catholic school education means embracing a community that values love, respect, and service. We warmly invite you to explore the enriching experience awaiting your family at our school, and join generations of families who have chosen St. Francis Xavier School for its tradition of faith and quality education. I look forward to welcoming your family!

As you explore options for an elementary school, I warmly invite you to attend Sunday Mass at our parish where many of our school families attend. Our Masses are as follows: 4pm on Saturday and 8 & 10:30am on Sunday.

May God’s blessings guide you in this decision-making process. Please know of my prayers for you as you make this important decision.

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Ryan Healy
Pastor, St. Francis Xavier School
