October's Corporal Work of Mercy: Bury the Dead
 

Mercy

Roughly 31 weeks ago, Pope Francis declared that the Catholic Church will observe a Jubilee Year of Mercy. One of the ways we are encouraged to participate is through the Corporal Works of Mercy. For more information click here: http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/how-we-teach/new-evangelization/jubilee-of-mercy/the-corporal-works-of-mercy.cfm

Each month, beginning in October, we as a school community will concentrate on one Corporal Work. The teachers and I will regularly communicate to you exactly how we are approaching the specific works, but we need your help. Please spend some time each week speaking with your child about how your family participates in their own unique way in the Corporal Works.

Student Masses

The faculty and I have noticed roughly a 50% increase in parent attendance so far this year. Sharing our faith is our number one priority here at St. John School and I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to partner with us in this endeavor. This Thursday, September 29th, is Saint Teresa of Calcutta Day. In her honor, we are collecting canned goods for the food pantry. Please send a food item to school with your child that day.
 

Thank You Fr. Dave

St. John School wishes to thank Fr. David Beckman for his donation of hundreds of books and several bookcases from his personal collection to our library. The students will be so excited when the books are processed and ready to check out. Thank you so much for your generosity; and welcome to the St. John family!
