Xavier Day was held on May 3, 2024, and is a day of giving for St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System. The week is packed with Xavier spirit, laughter, and cherished memories, featuring various activities and treats on different campuses each day.  The festivities culminate in a grand celebration at Xavier High School with food trucks and more for the entire community to take part in. Mark your calendars for Xavier Day 2025 on May 2, if you want to join in on the fun!

Join us on Friday, November 29, 2024, for the fourth annual Mike Pfefferle 3-on-3 Memorial Tournament.  Here is a link to the registration website.  This event held in memory of Mike Pfefferle ’89 features both a men’s and women’s bracket. Participation continues to grow and is a can’t miss event. Both Xavier alumni teams and teams from throughout the community are involved. If you can’t make it for the event, please check the website to purchase swag and/or make a donation. All proceeds benefit the Mike Pfefferle Memorial Fund which benefits scholarships and athletics.

Mike Pfefferle ‘89 passed away on July 4, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer.  Mike was the President of Pfefferle Companies and known for the respect and dignity he gave to employees and all whom he worked with throughout the years.  His charitable and volunteer works were many and his generosity was known throughout the Fox Cities Community and especially at Xavier.  Sports, fishing, and Marquette basketball were among his many passions and whether it was coaching hoops, fishing with family and friends, or enjoying an evening with his Golden Eagles, his bright smile and love for life made for many special moments. Mike was a loving husband to Lydie, and father to sons Charlie and Sam, and daughter Chloe.
