Gators have officially turned into Santa's Christmas helpers again!🎅🏼❤️🐊🎄🌟🎁

This past week, our amazing Key Club members embraced the spirit of giving by packing gifts for Operation Christmas Child, making sure all children are able to open a present of toys and fun activities!❤️ ⛄

Our gators truly are the best Santa's helpers out there!🥰

In honor of November being National Native American Heritage Month, WAX hosted students to create their own God's Eye craft!🧶🧡 🍂

God's eye, a yarn craft, is a traditional Indigenous American art form where colorful yarn is woven around a frame to create a symbolic eye. In Native American culture, it often represents spiritual protection and the interconnectedness of life.

Gators also learned about Oak Flat or Chi'chil Bildagoteel in Apache, which is located in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona. Oak flat is considered sacred by several Native American tribes, particularly the Apache people and is continuously advocated for in protection of the sacred land being destroyed.

Our students also were able to practice a new way to pray by silently coloring for a few minutes and having alone time with God! Such a special way to give thanks this fall season!💗

I ❤️ Barcelona!!!🇪🇸💃

Don't forget to speak with Ms. Jiménez about XCP's upcoming summer trip to Spain in 2024!

It's never too early to start planning the perfect summer trip around the world!🛫💙

This is such a great event that will be so helpful for planning your educational and athletic future!
We're excited to see you there, Gators!

Honoring the memory of our loved ones on All Souls' Day and Dia de los Mu***os, when we celebrate the lives of those who have passed.
🤍🕯️🪅🌼💐🌙

All Souls' Day is a day of remembrance in the Catholic tradition, where people pray for the souls of the departed. Dia de los Mu***os is a Mexican holiday that celebrates and honors deceased loved ones through colorful festivities, ofrendas (altars), and cultural traditions. It's a beautiful way to embrace and remember those who are no longer with us. ❤️‍🔥

Thank you We Are Xavier for creating this beautiful alter to remember our loved ones!

Our annual canned food drive is in full swing!🥫💙💚🥰⚾️

Each year, XCP gives back to Saint Vincent De Paul by hosting the annual canned food drive by having some friendly competition on campus! Frosh, Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors compete to see who can bring in the most cans each week.

Gators were able to "can their skirt" yesterday to wear Dbacks shirts all while giving back to such an amazing cause. ❤️⚾️

In only two weeks, our gators have raised over 297,720 cans!!!!😍 Our XCP community is hoping to beat our final number raised last year by bringing in more than 600,00 cans!

WE CAN DO THIS GATORS!💙💙💚💚
