2. Principal’s Corner
As I compose this month’s Principal’s
Corner, we are planning for our annual
Ash Wednesday Liturgy. This of course
marks the beginning of the Season of Lent.
Each morning we will forego our usual
faculty sharing/prayers in order to have
our students spend a “moment in silence”
following a brief thought-
provoking reflection. The
goal of these “moments”
is to encourage students
to reflect on just what Our
Lord is asking of them.
We want them to
understand the
opportunity that
Lent presents.
Too often, we
view Lent as a
time of fast and
abstinence. We
focus on what
we will “give
up” for Lent.
We attempt to
find some sort
of “sacrifice”
that will label us a
good Catholic. We
“deny” ourselves
chocolate, soda, ice
cream, Facebook, etc.
We don’t eat meat on
Friday. But really, how
much of a sacrifice
is it? We invent rules such as, “Sundays
don’t count and traveling doesn’t count”
as ways to get around the sacrifice. What
kind of discipline is that? And what if we
make it all the way through Lent without
straying from our “sacrifice? Do we see
that as a personal achievement or do we
see it as self-denial – the kind of self-denial
that reminds us that life is not all about us?
When we compare our 40 days of “giving
up,” to the 40 days Jesus spent in the des-
ert and to his being nailed to a cross, it re-
ally doesn’t seem like such a big deal at all.
This year I want to challenge all of us to get
beyond the usual “giving things up” for
Lent because quite frankly that approach is
short-lived.
I’m not against the “give up for Lent” prac-
tice, but we should see Lent as an oppor-
tunity for so much more. While we should
realize that abstinence and penance have
a place in Lent, this season is much more
than going without. It is a time for conver-
sion – a long term change of heart, mind
and soul. In Lent we can take stock of the
way we live our lives and how that com-
pares to the perfect model we have been
given - our Lord, Jesus Christ. In Lent our
God has given us another chance to “get
it right.”
But where do we start? As a sinner, some
days it seems to me that there is just so
much to “get right.” We can become par-
alyzed trying to figure out how to begin.
Here’s what I would suggest: Let’s start
with relationships. And more specifically,
let’s start with broken ones or wounded
ones – those relationships with family,
friends, children, neighbors, co-workers
and others which fall apart because of
something done, something said, or simply
a misunderstanding. Just maybe, Lent can
be a time to repair and heal those relation-
ships into the kind that Christ modeled for
us. Have we hurt someone with our words
or actions? Have we justified that they
“deserved it?” Maybe it’s time to say, “I’m
sorry.” Maybe it’s too hard to say that face
to face. Start with a note – a sincere note
that expresses the sorrow we feel for the
hurt we’ve caused.
And just as important in healing relation-
ships is the willingness to say, “I forgive
you.” Even Jesus, who died on a Cross,
forgave those who put him there. And
remember, it wasn’t just the Romans who
put him there. Our sins are every bit as
responsible. Surely we can forgive those
who have done less. Too hard to say those
exact words? Then let’s start by letting
go of that grudge we’ve held for so long.
Let’s talk again. Let’s be respectful again.
Imagine a family where building the rela-
tionships was more important that being
right. Imagine a community where people
followed the same philosophy. Imagine a
world like that.

Principal’s Corner (Continued)
The true measure of our conversion is
the long-term effect it has. If we apolo-
gize and forgive now but tomorrow hurt
again or create a new grudge to hold,
what have we accomplished? Lent, is as
much about persistence as it is sacrifice.
It’s about continually striving to live a
life committed to Christ. It’s about try-
ing, failing and trying again. The mes-
sage is simple. We don’t let up when
things are tough.
Lent is not something to get through.
It’s not something to tolerate. It’s not
something to manipulate. It is a time for
soul-searching. It is a time to determine
what’s really important. It’s a time to
commit ourselves to change – a change
in our hearts that makes a difference in
the lives of others.
We all look forward to Easter and the
joy the day brings. We should also look
forward to the impact of Easter and the
everlasting life that the Resurrection
brings. And just as there can be no Eas-
ter without Lent, there can be no Resur-
rection without the Cross. What load
are we willing to bear?
May all of us find on Easter Sunday that
the conversion that brings us closer to
the lives our Lord Jesus Christ has in
mind for all of us.
Sincerely,
Tom Keating

5. March for Life
Xavier Campus Ministry has been working on
a number of activities since the start of the
new semester. The following are highlights of
our semester so far:
Kairos
Kairos #20 was held January 8-11 and Kai-
ros #21 will be April 29-May 2, at American
Martyrs Retreat House in Cedar Falls. Each
retreat is for 40 juniors, 8 senior student lead-
ers and 6 adult leaders. The weekend is an
incredible faith experience for everyone who
attends. Please keep praying for the success
of this retreat weekend.
Catholic Schools Week Liturgy
The Catholic Schools Week Liturgy was cel-
ebrated Tuesday, January 27th. We had a
joyous celebration with Regis, St. Joseph and
LaSalle Communities joining us and Arch-
bishop Jackels presiding. Mass was concel-
ebrated by Father Vu, Father Reasoner, Father
Flaherty, Father Juhl, Father Thompson, and
Father Nienhaus. We are grateful for all the
assistance in planning and the wonderful
participation at mass. We are also grateful to
the many parents who attended. It truly was
an expression of how wonderful it is to be
part of a Catholic School. This year’s theme
was “Catholic Schools, communities of Faith,
Knowledge and Service.
Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be held
on March 12 for seniors and freshmen (juniors
and sophomores had their reconciliation dur-
ing 1st Semester) from 12:25 to 2:45pm.
There are many communal opportunities to
receive the sacrament of reconciliation in our
local parishes during Lent. They are sched-
uled for March 10, St. Joseph 7pm, March
14, St. Ludmila 10:30am, and March 26, St.
Elizabeth Ann Seton 7pm. Check your own
parish for time of individual reconciliation op-
portunities.
Ash Wednesday Liturgy
Mass for Ash Wednesday was held on Febru-
ary 18. Thank you to Father Klein and Father
Vu for celebrating with us.

Xavier High School will welcome national
speaker, Sarah Swafford, founder of
Emotional Virtue Ministries, for two pre-
sentations on March 17 & 18, 2015. Both
presentations are free and open to the
public — the March 17 presentation is for
adults only.
“Looking From the Outside In”
March 17, 2015 | 6:30 p.m. | Regis-LaSalle
Theatre | Xavier High School
Adult-Only Presentation – Open & Free
to Public
As a parent, teacher, coach, priest, re-
ligious, or just anyone close to a young
woman or man transitioning through
stages of life, it can be hard to watch your
loved ones go through this challenging
time. Is there a game plan for these years?
How can someone help and not just stand
by? In this talk, I bring together an under-
standing of Emotional Virtue, a map for
navigating relationships, and a closer look
at how to build up Interior Confidence
in the midst of the contemporary attacks
from media, bullies, and self-torment.
Being that person your loved one turns to
– and does not run from – starts now.
“Emotional Virtue for a
Drama-Free Life”
March 18, 2015 | 9:50 a.m. | Ron Thillen
Gymnasium | Xavier High School
Open & Free to Public
What is emotional virtue? This talk targets
what can wreak havoc on our emotions,
what can spin you onto the “Emoto-
coaster” and how we can fight it – setting
forth a vision for virtue in the 21st century,
especially in dating relationships. A look
at “beginning with the end in mind,” and
building what will last.

Save Time.
Save Money.
Do an Internship.
How can I make it through college with
the least amount of debt and in the fastest
amount of time?
Money and time – we are all trying to save in
these areas. It seems like everyone is trying
to get an extra hour in the day or some extra
change in their pockets. While I don’t have an
answer for adding more money to your bank
account or bartering to get an extra hour in
the day, I do have an answer to how to save
money and time in college – do an internship
and job shadow in high school.
Our young people have limited experience
in the workforce and have a narrow view on
what a profession is really like. A lot of times
their career goals are based on their family
experience – Mom is an engineer and Dad’s
a teacher. They both seem to like what they
do and seem to be able to support a family.
Maybe I should look into those careers?
That’s a great start, but does that student
know that mom’s engineering job required
her to have an advanced degree (more
schooling, ahhh!) and that she actually spends
a lot of her day in meetings instead of de-
signing things. And while the idea of having
summers off is really cool, lesson plans can
be tedious and working with students is chal-
lenging. Spending time in the day-to-day of a
career can be a real eye-opening experience
for our students. They may like it. They may
hate it, either experience is valuable and can
get them closer to identifying a clear path.
The closer a student can get to identifying
their true career passion in high school the
more likely they are to choose a college that
will prepare them for that career and the less
years they will spend trying to decide a major.
Bottom line, they will save valuable time and
your valuable money.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the
valuable professional connections that a
job shadow or internship can provide your
student. Companies spend a lot of money
recruiting and cultivating young professionals
and many times it starts with the internship. If
a student does well during a high school in-
ternship, many companies will welcome them
back for summer work which may even lead to
a job offer upon graduation.
Where do you sign your student up, right?
On Wednesday, March 4th during Xcel Hour,
Laurie Warden with Workplace Learning Con-
nection will be here to talk with our sopho-
mores and juniors about opportunities to do
internships this summer and fall. At Xavier,
a student can earn 5 credits (the equivalent
to 1 semester long class) for completing an
internship during the summer or school year.
Internships typically require a 90 hour commit-
ment (10hr/wk) and an application and inter-
view process is required for placement.
So what kind of internships are available?
Anything from Accounting to Webmaster, Vet
Assistant to Police officer. These are unique
and valuable opportunities for our students.
Job shadows are less of a time commitment
and range from half a day to a full day com-
mitment from your student. While course
credit isn’t offered for this experience, a stu-
dent is able to do one shadow experience
per term. What’s available? Performing Arts
Day at Theatre Cedar Rapids learning about
careers in the arts, Mini-medical school day
spent at the University of Iowa Hospitals and
a look at professions in the world of athletics
are just a couple of opportunities students
have through the job shadow program.
There are countless opportunities for your
student to learn more about careers while in
high school before they even step foot on a
college campus. I encourage you and your
student to sit down and talk about what sorts
of hands-on experiences they can do to help
provide clarity on their college search. And,
who knows, you may save some time and
money along the way!

Keeping Your
Kids Safe
Spring break, graduation parties, going off
to college, and summer vacations are right
around the corner and for many teens that
means it’s time to party. These activities can
carry more risks than sunburns. This was also
discussed in the Vision Process under Section
F of “Key Findings”, subsection “Areas to Ex-
plore” where it states “issues surrounding stu-
dents’ and adults’ choices regarding….drug
and alcohol consumption” so we wanted to
take a few moments to address it at this time.
Here are some tips to help keep your
kids safe:
* Know that minors who consume alcohol are
at higher risk of damage to the brain, liver,
and stomach than those over 21.
* If hosting a graduation or any kind of party
offer a variety of fun, non-alcoholic beverages.
Remember that providing alcohol to minors is
illegal, and could result in large fines or even
imprisonment. Also, consider that adults who
provide alcohol to minors are held legally re-
sponsible for any actions of youth while under
the influence. Protect yourself by not provid-
ing to minors.
* Investigate safe entertainment options.
Ideas could include dances, live music, DJ’s,
games, sports, video game tournaments, or
other activities your kids enjoy.
* Discuss with your child why you do not want
them to drink alcohol or use other drugs. Be
candid. Give them tangible reasons such as
their increased risk of alcoholism, increased
chance of using other illicit drugs, and alco-
hol’s relation to the three leading causes of
death in teenagers (accidents, homicides, and
suicides). Let them know about the legal and
financial consequences.
* As hard as it may be, talk with your child
about your expectations. Do not worry about
what your child might think. Rest assured that
keeping your child and his/her friends’ safe is
worth any resistance that may arise.
* Be clear and specific about your expecta-
tions and establish consequences for breaking
the rules. Then stick to them.
* Talk with other parents to understand their
values on underage drinking and substance use.
Make clear your expectations when your child is
at another’s house. Also, don’t be afraid to call
and check up on your kids, even though your
child may object. Many cell phones now have
GPS trackers to check on kids.
* Come up with a code phrase or word that
your child could call/text you to let you know
there is drugs and/or alcohol where they are
at and need an excuse to get out of the situa-
tion. Create a plan so they feel safe and com-
fortable making that type of call.
* Also remember that you are role models for
your kids and if they see parents drinking at
every social activity, that’s what is assumed to
be socially acceptable. It’s just as important
for them to see you not consume alcohol
amongst peers to know that is just as ac-
cepted when in the company of friends.
