Honorary Auction Chairs:

Sheri & Mark Miller

As long-time parishioners and parents of an alumnus, the Millers have shown their love and support for SJCS over the years. Congratulations on being named this year's Honorary Auction Chairs!

We live in a world full of noise, chaos, and busy schedules. Many of us lack a true interior peace. But what if there was a different way? Christ offers us a peace that far surpasses any peace this world can give. Join us for our 2024 Lenten Mission, February 26-28, as the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal lead us to encounter the true and triumphant peace of Christ. We will offer talks in both English & Spanish and free child care will be available. 

Students are challenged to turn in the highest sales for a class surprise! Forward the link from the school’s email, or take the form from your child's Friday Folder to your neighbors, family, and friends.



Turn-in is February 23rd.

Pick up is Thursday, March 28th
