On behalf of the Xavier Dads’ Club, I wanted to welcome you to the new school year! The Dads’ Club mission is to create events for Dads and Daughters that create lifetime memories. As one of the previous Dads’ Club members told me – GET INVOLVED and you will get closer with your daughter – and he was so right. What he didn’t mention is by being involved I also got to know the other dads who shared their advice on having a daughter and helping navigate these four years, I now knew the families of the girls my daughter was hanging out with, and we do the events as a group which makes it fun for all.

Throughout the year Dads’ Club has a lot of opportunities for you to be involved including FREE monthly meetings (dinner & drinks always served!), and the following signature events which are also listed on the Events tab on the Dads’ Club website.

We have many exciting events planned this school year. 

  • Father-Daughter Bowling – September 10, 2023 
  • Father-Daughter Mass – October 21, 2023 
  • Father-Daughter Pickleball – November 18, 2023 
  • Father-Daughter Ski Trip – January 13 – 16, 2024 (at Purgatory Mountain Resort in Durango, CO)
  • Father-Daughter Dance – February 24, 2024 
  • Heather Farr Memorial Golf Tournament – March 08, 2024  

The Dads’ Club and your overall experience with Xavier – and this is true for your daughter as well – will be directly tied to how much you put in. Your family and your daughter chose to come to Xavier – often driving a significant distance and was not the school closest to your house. There are so many opportunities and such a strong community, and you just have to take advantage of them and be a part of it.

As a Xavier Dad, you are already a member of the Dads’ Club and are welcome at all meetings and events. However, if you choose, you can also become a Dads’ Club Lifetime Member which gives you $100 off for you and your daughter on the ski trip every year you go, FREE admission for you and a guest to all regular season Xavier and Brophy sporting events for life, a Dads’ Club polo shirt and hat to show your pride, and a name badge for meetings.

In closing, I look forward to seeing you at meetings and events, and to creating the best events for you and your daughter! If you have any questions or I can help in any way, please feel free to reach out to me directly at 602-538-5557 or esilvernail@outlook.com.

Sincerely,

Eric Silvernail

Xavier Dads’ Club President, 2023-2024
