24-Hour Day of Giving

January 31, 12 p.m. – February 1, 12 p.m.

Thank you for considering supporting Saint John the Evangelist School. We rely heavily on the generosity of our community to sustain our school.

Over twenty years ago, Saint Pope John Paul II said to an audience of Catholic educators in New Orleans, “Yours is a great gift to the Church, a great gift to your nation.”

The many gifts of Catholic schools have blessed countless people in our country. They have carried what they have learned and witnessed; however, many have lost touch with our local Catholic school communities. It is time for these people to reconnect with Catholic schools and give back. With this recognition in mind, Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Elementary and Preschool are pleased to announce our Annual Day of Giving Event scheduled for January 31, 2023, 12 PM EST to February 1, 2023, 12 PM EST. This time is set aside for friends, family, and alumni to show support and give back to their local Catholic school.  We hope you will support St. John’s by donating during this 24-hour period.

This year our goal is to raise $20,000 toward the tuition assistance fund. Please consider donating to support our mission.

This tax-deductible donation can be made online or directly to the school at 111 John E. Mann Street, Warrenton, VA  20186.
