Weekly Updates
February 2018
Greetings,
As I was sitting and listening to Father Linh's homily today, I again realized how lucky we are to be at St. John School. With the turmoil going on in the world and school shootings, we are fortunate to gather in prayer and listen to God's word every Tuesday. We do provide a great educational foundation, but more important we are able to do it in a setting that allows us to teach religion, attend Mass, and go to adoration. I know that many times it is quite a sacrifice paying tuition. The children are our future in our church and the world - sending them here is a priceless gift! I sure appreciate the effort my parents made sending me to Catholic School K-8.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
P.S. There are many events going on in the school and parish. Please make sure you are asking your student if they have any papers for you from the school. This email and those flyers contain important information that we don't want you to miss out on!
