This year’s annual Father-Daughter Dance was held on Friday, February 6 in a beautifully decorated St. Paul Parish Hall with a packed-house of dads, daughters, and special friends. The DJ kept the party going with great music and fun games and prizes, and great time was had by all!
This annual event is organized and run by dads – a big thank you to Russ Morton and friends for making the event a huge success!

Last Sunday night, the Saint John School Confirmation Cohort (a group of SJS graduates preparing together to receive the sacrament of Confirmation this spring) was joined by Brother Anthony Zuba OFM and Amanda Grant Rose of the Capuchin Mobile Ministries. Brother Anthony shared his own call to vocation in the Franciscan order and its solidarity with those who are most vulnerable in our communities.
As our SJS Grads continue to learn about the fullness of their reception as Catholic Christians into the Church, the group is discovering ways to integrate The Corporal Works of Mercy into their Christian service. Assisted by the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, the students imagined ways in which they might live out Catholic Social Teaching…
As part of this year’s Catholic Schools Week celebrations, Sr. Colleen and Fr. Gabriel visited with the 5th and 6th grade students at Saint John School to share about their own vocation stories and the call to priesthood and religious life. The group had a great discussion about how each of us is called by God and how Sister and Father live out their vocations each day.
The girls and boys at SJS had wonderful questions for their guests, including how old you have to be to be a priest/sister, what languages they speak, and what kind of jobs sisters and priests do. What a joy to share this time together celebrating vocations!

During the month of May, we celebrated Mary with May Crownings at both churches!
O Mary!
We crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels,
Queen of the May
Catholic schools have an irreplaceable role in the Church’s evangelizing mission. Building on the central goal of Catholic schools to form saints, Catholic schools teach and embrace the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. The fact that all members of a Catholic school community share the Christian vision of faith that Christ is the foundation of Catholic education is what unites the school as a faith-filled community.
This week, we celebrate Saint John School in a special way…
