Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church and School are located in beautiful Cross Plains, WI - about 15 miles west of Madison.
We were founded back in 1853, and for the past 165+ years we have served as the spiritual and educational home of countless children, adults, and families both here in Cross Plains and the surrounding area.
"Inspired by the example of our patron, St. Francis Xavier, we are a community of Christian missionary disciples who seek to faithfully and lovingly share the life-changing good news of Jesus Christ with all those we encounter."
