Principal's CornerGreetings,
I would like to thank everyone who braved the chilly Saturday morning air to clean up our parish grounds. Over 20 people took roughly three hours to rake up leaves, trim bushes, spread mulch, plant flowers, and get the grounds looking great for Easter. Most of the volunteers were members of the Knights of Columbus who truly fulfill their mission of service and charity.
As we enter the holiest week of our Church, please give thanks for all the blessings we receive at St. John School and keep the school in your prayers. If you have a chance, please come to the school's Passion Play at 9:00 am on Friday. It is a great way to share Good Friday with your children
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
