Saint John School values and recognizes the generous support it has received since its beginnings to the present day. From the parish efforts in the 1800s to bring Catholic Education to the families in the area to Father Feicht and Msgr. Murphy working diligently to allow families to continue Catholic education through high school, it has been a community effort.
The stories of individuals collecting funds door to door, of Miss Benedict selling raffle tickets are legendary. In recent years, the Saint John community has raised the necessary funds to provide upgrades to the Depot Road school building and campus. Donations have allowed us to establish an endowment fund and provide additional resources to the ever-growing student population.
Catholic education is a gift from the church to the church and society.
Catholic Education is a gift:
- Catholic schools provide religious and moral formation in a world badly in need of Gospel values.
- Catholic schools excel in offering high quality education, particularly to those most in need.
- Catholic schools are the responsibility of the entire Catholic community.
- Catholic schools are essential to the health of the Church and our democracy - they nurture the soul of our nation.
As Saint John continues to carry out the mission of Developing Scholarship, Deepening Faith and Inspiring Leadership. This will insure the next stage of growth and allow for a strong and vital future for the families that call Saint John home.
