It is a tradition to celebrate the patron saint of a Catholic School and Parish. For St. Xavier, December 3 is the feast day of their patron saint St. Francis Xavier , the patron saint of missionary work.

To participate in the 2-mile Fun Run, the cost is $25 per person or $75 per family. You can contact the parish office at 238-2998 for the necessary form, and there will be an online link up in the near future.

If you own a small business and would like to sponsor this event, there are three levels of sponsorship starting at $100. You will receive advertising the day of the event and on the back of the t-shirts that will be distributed to runners. Officials said you can contact the St. Xavier Parish office for more information.
