Congratulations to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton!

Last fall the Xavier Foundation partnered with St. Elizabeth Ann Seton to raise funds for the Xavier Impact Fund. Together with the 11 parishes that make up the metro Catholic community, we raised an amazing $511,421 to support Catholic education at Xavier High School.

Thanks to your hard work and generosity, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton surpassed the parish goal of $90,500. As promised, all monies received over this goal are given directly back to the parish. We are happy to announce that a $3,435 check was presented to the parish on September 1st, 2021 from the Xavier Foundation.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton went above and beyond! Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, our faith-based and academic programs have grown; our teacher salaries and endowment increased; and more families received financial assistance to attend Xavier.
We appreciate your support and continued commitment to Catholic education in the Cedar Rapids-metro area!

The 2021-22 Xavier Impact Parish Kick-Off will be the weekends of September 25-26 and October 2-3. We hope we can count on you to make this campaign the best yet!

Several parishioners from St. Pius X and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parishes launched a scholarship endowment fund to honor Sister Rita Heires and the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (FSPA). Sister Rita, now retired in La Crosse, WI, was principal at St. Pius X School and later active at St. Pius X Parish. FSPA sisters were the backbone of the school staff for many years.

Education has always been important to the La Crosse Franciscans, and a scholarship is one way we can honor their dedicated services. The hope is to raise a sufficient endowment to provide several annual scholarships for children of families in need to attend St. Pius X School.

Scholarship administration will be handled by the school board and the fund managed through the Catholic Foundation in the Archdiocese of Dubuque (CFAD). Questions may be directed to school Principal Brian O’Donnell at 319-393-4507 or CFAD Executive Director Michele Brock at 563-552-0176.

So far, $25,000 toward the goal of $40,000 has been raised. Please consider a gift of $100 or more, but all support is welcome. Join us to honor these teachers. Donate at www.OurCFAD.org/donate, or make a check to CFAD, indicating the Sr. Rita/FSPA Fund, and mail to 120 5th St. NW, Cedar Rapids, IA, 52405.
