The Art & Gardening club enjoyed the fall weather while planting flowers and vegetables that need to be in before the first frost.  They finished their session with Miss Visvader and Mrs. Jakowenko by crafting some spooky ghosts and pumpkin decorations.  Our fun times just keep on blooming!

#wearesjaAlways great when our Green Knights return to their grammar school as Ambassadors for a visit with the 7th and 8th graders. Today Brendan Cannon '25 and Ciaran Henry '27 went back to St. John's Academy in Hillsdale to share their SJR experience.

Such a great group ❤️

Class of 2025! I cannot believe it 🎓

We gathered yesterday for a beautiful school Mass.  Our eighth graders did a wonderful job leading us in the liturgy, and assisting their prayer partners so nicely during the Mass.  It was so special to have our Pre-K 4 students join us for the first time this year, and their seventh grade buddies did such a great job helping them!

As we gather as a community for our first Friday Mass this week, our Pre-K 4 students, together with their buddies will join us in prayer.  They were so excited today to visit our St. John the Baptist Church with their teachers and our principal.  Fr. Peter explained to them more about Mass and showed them various parts of the Church.  And, they shared with such great joy, about their friendship with Jesus! 🙏
