Saint John the Evangelist: United in Faith and Community.
Celebrate Catholic Schools Week with Us!
We are excited to invite you to our annual celebration of National Catholic Schools Week, beginning Sunday, January 26. This year’s theme, “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community,” emphasizes our commitment to faith development, academic excellence, and dedication to community service.
Our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do at Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School. Here, students grow in holiness and virtue while striving for academic success. Their relationship with God is nurtured daily, forming the foundation of their education and personal development.
We have planned a variety of events throughout the week to showcase how we live out our faith, foster learning, and serve our community together. We invite you to join us in celebrating the transformative power of Catholic education and the blessings it brings to our students, families, and the greater community.
Let’s come together to celebrate faith, learning, and service during this special week!
