What is Xavier Kids?

Xavier Kids is our Sunday morning faith formation program for children in PreK-5th grades.

Our Mission

Xavier Kids is our catechesis for children Pre-K to 5th grade. The mission of Xavier Kids is to help families lead their children to an encounter with Jesus Christ, grow in their relationship with Him, and to go make disciples.

Xavier Kids is held on Sunday mornings from 9:30am - 11:00am in the Parish Hall.

At Xavier Kids, we choose a yearly theme and then teach on that theme in multiple different teaching series. This year's theme is "Be holy as your Father in Heaven is Holy." from the Gospel of Matthew 5:48.

This semester's final teaching series is called "Abba, Father!". As adopted sons and daughters of God through Jesus in the sacrament of Baptism, our identity is found in Jesus, the perfect reflection of God the Father. 

In this series, we will journey into salvation history to learn about the famous fathers and sons in the bible. With each lesson, we will grow in understanding how loving and perfect God the Father is and that we are called to be Holy just as He is!

Jesus touches our lives through the Sacraments. Our celebrations of the sacraments are signs of Jesus’ presence in our lives and a means for receiving his grace.
