Yesterday, we concluded our Catholic Schools Week celebrations with a beautiful Mass.  Thank you to all the students who helped lead us in the liturgy, and to the choir who did such a wonderful job!  At the end of Mass, students presented Fr. Peter with a special gift in appreciation for everything he does to help and support St. John’s Academy. 

During Mass, Mrs. Mitchell presented the 2025 Outstanding Catholic School Graduate Award for St. John’s Academy to Stephen Tomeo.  The Outstanding Catholic School Graduate Award is given to a student who exemplifies Catholic values in word and deed, and who displays superior academic commitment.  Congratulations Stephen!

Today, as we continue to celebrate Catholic Schools Week and express our gratitude to so many wonderful friends who assist us in our Academy’s mission, our SJA students delivered delicious pizzas to the Hillsdale Police Department.

Accompanied by our SJA counselor, Mrs. Rejent, and principal, Mrs. Mitchell, they brought many “thank yous” on behalf of all our students, families, teachers and staff for countless acts of kindness, support, and assistance of our Hillsdale Police Department.

We pray for God’s blessings and safety of all dedicated men and women who daily serve our community with love and dedication! 🙏🙏🙏
