While you're here, visit the Booster Club table in the entryway for hot dogs, snacks, and information about how you can support our school. See you soon!

Have you marked your calendars yet?

We are just FIVE days away from our Back to School Sale, and you won't want to miss it! Shop gently used XCS dress code and spirit wear in the commons, then stop by the Saints Shop to check out dress code and all the new arrivals for the upcoming school year. The countdown is on, and we can't wait to see you at our Back to School Bash!

We will miss you, Fr. Seda and Fr. Mayer! Thank you for all you have done for St. Pius. We will miss your smiling faces!

As priests across Iowa begin their new assignments this week, we want to take a moment to thank the following priests from our local parishes who have impacted Xavier Catholic Schools in an 'Xtraordinary way and will be serving in pastorates outside the Cedar Rapids Metro area.

Thank you to Fr. Gary Mayer (XCS Pastoral Coordinator), Fr. Dennis Miller (XCS Foundation Pastoral Coordinator), Fr. Douglas Loecke, Fr. Jon Seda, and Fr. Eric Saah, for your service and commitment to Catholic education. May God bless you in your new roles and guide you as you continue forming disciples.

We will certainly miss seeing your faces around our schools. Thank you for being an 'Xtraordinary part of our Xavier community.

Today is your last chance to shop XCS dress code through our online shop!

Here at St. Pius X, we wish you a happy and safe Independence Day!

As we celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation, we give thanks to God for the blessings of freedom and those who have built our country through faith, sacrifice, and service.

As Catholics, we are reminded that true patriotism is rooted not only in love of our country, but in our commitment to uphold the God-given dignity of every person, pursue the common good, and live the Gospel each and every day.

May God bless the United States of America -- and may we always strive to be faithful disciples so that our nation is marked by hope, charity, justice, and peace.

It's already that time! The XCS Dress Code Online Store is now open ahead of our August Back to School Sale. Shop now and stock up on everything you need for the new school year.
