God is good…it was a wonderful start to the school year! Click here to enjoy some photos from the first days of school.
We are celebrating some new faculty additions, updates to our school building (including our new STEM lab), and looking forward to a great year together.
Our 2017-2018 school year theme is all about walking side-by-side with Pope Saint John Paul II to soak in his wisdom and virtue. Each month we will focus on a different quote and let him guide us closer to Christ. Looking forward to the adventure!

Father Riley J. Williams started in his role as Administrator of St. Francis Xavier Parish and School on June 28, 2017. Fr. Williams is a native of Osterville, Massachusetts. Graduating from Bishop Stang High School in 2003, he went on to Franciscan University of Steubenville, from which he graduated in 2007 with a B.A. in philosophy with minors in theology and Latin.

Msgr. Gerard O’Connor – Appointment to the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon
Each year, there are various transfers of priests announced throughout the diocese, and Monsignor O’Connor shared with his parishioners recently that he will be leaving St. Francis Xavier Parish at the end of June this year.
We have been blessed by Monsignor O’Connor’s leadership. The greatest gift that he leaves us with is a cultivated faith. It is a legacy of nine years of prayerful service, which at it’s center always intended to lead us to prioritize a deep love of Our Lord in our daily lives. Please join us in praying in gratitude for the past nine years, for Monsignor’s future work in the vineyard, for our future pastor Fr. Williams, and for an increase in priestly vocations which inspire us to holiness.
