-
Athletic Hall of Fame induction (January 23)
-
Catholic Schools Week (February 1-5)

The spring musical - "Footloose" (March 11-12)

Baccalaureate (May 19) and graduation (May 23), just to name a few.
Make sure that you continue to follow our events calendar each week in Parent Weekly so you and your family can participate in everything that makes CJ special.
God bless, and Go Eagles!

Founders' Thoughts
"Let us go on from day to day .... there must be no looking back upon the past, no anxieties about the future. I repeat, about the future."
"
What is a faithful man to do in the chaos of events which seem to swallow him up? He must sustain himself calmly by Faith.
