2027 SJA Gala - Save the Date - March 6, 2027

Help Us Make Connections for Our Annual Gala!


To maximize the success and impact of our gala, we are assembling a team of people to help us reach out to local business to help support the gala initiatives. Proud SJA parents, dedicated parishioners and friends of the community are all invited to participate! 


As a member of our Gala Community Connections Team, you’ll be given a list of approximately 10–15 businesses, along with basic contact information and resources to help you make an initial connection. Your role is simply to reach out, introduce them to our Gala, and invite them to consider supporting our school community.


We’ll provide the information and talking points—you provide the personal connection. You may contact business that decline to participate, and that is understandable and perfectly fine; because you will also find businesses who are excited to participate and show support for our amazing school, students and teachers! It is a blessing to receive any donation from area businesses! 


Interested in helping us build relationships with local businesses and make this year’s Gala the most successful yet? We’d love to have you on the team!

SJA Athletics Updates

Good luck to our runners who are headed to state this weekend!

The Chargers brought the heat to the Sectionals meet this past Saturday. The girls' team placed 2nd and earned a bid to the State XC meet! The girls' sectionals team consists of Allison, Celeste, Greta, Izzy, Eowyn, Clare, Caroline, Zuzu, Anna and Ella. The boys team fell just short of qualifying, placing 4th. However, Matthew and Cooper qualified as individual runners for the State meet! Anna got 4th place in the girls' race and earned a medal. 
This is the 2nd year in a row the girls' team has qualified for the 
State XC meet!


The girls run at 9:15am this Saturday at Maxwell Park in Normal, IL. Matthew and Cooper run at 10:00. Great job, Chargers!







Good luck to all our volleyball teams in the playoffs this week. Can't wait to share all the news!
