You may purchase a gift card from any location but we are in need of AirBnb and restaurant gift cards. The gift cards can be purchased anywhere, but please consider purchasing through RaiseRight - details are found in your Friday folder.

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. 

The Friars are also visiting the school! On Tuesday the Friars will visit the lower school classes and 5th grade from 9:30-11:45am, popping in and out of the classrooms for a visit. On Wednesday, all 6th, 8th, and then 7th graders will meet with the Friars in the Upper Room for a full class period!

TODAY, Friday, February 23rd, is the last day for Easter Lily Sales!

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
