We Share with Each Other and with Our Community
As
instruments of the holiness of Christ, the
clergy, administration, faculty, and staff of St. John the Apostle
Catholic School
lead the students to know their faith in its
fullness. A sense of responsibility and an openness to give back to the
world
are instilled within each student.
Our
students participate in liturgical/paraliturgical celebrations, youth
groups,
whole school masses, class masses, retreats, and
prayer services. Additionally, a yearly Candlelight Procession, Passion
Play,
Living Rosary, and May Procession are fully
participated in by all students. A Respect Life Project for single
mothers and
their unborn babies is held annually as well as
food, clothing, and toy drives for the needy and the less fortunate.
Students
in the Service Club visit the elderly at local
nursing homes, and our Student Council and National Junior Honor Society
members
go out into the community with a missionary
spirit to assist local organizations with special projects. Students
begin a
journey of lived faith and spiritual development
as they are prepared to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy
Communion
and Confirmation in second and seventh grades,
respectively.
