We were fortunate to host Father Tom Uzhunnalil on the SJND campus last week. Fr. Tom told our theology classes his story of being held captive in Yemen for 557 days, and discussed the power of prayer and his life's mission following his release.

Dear Parents and Students:
I hope that the SJND community can attend one of the performances of our
Fall Play,
Room Service
, under the direction of Ms. Lauren Rosi this weekend and performed by our talented group of student actors and actresses.
Room Service
is a farce that tells the story of a broke Broadway producer living on hotel credit who needs to stay in her room, so she can impress a backer for her next hit play. Madness ensues while the producer, director, stage manager, playwright and actors all attempt to dodge hotel management that is determined to evict them.
Room Service
was originally produced on Broadway in 1937 and later turned into a film starring the Marx Brothers and Lucille Ball. I can’t wait to enjoy this comedy with performances on Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Reserve your tickets now!
The
Fall Sports
season is also well underway, and SJND has made a commitment to make the College of Alameda’s athletic facilities our home for Men and Women’s Soccer, Women and Men’s Tennis, Baseball, and Track and Field...
