40 years and counting!
What a wonderful way to kick-off our 40th anniversary by spending time together on a beautiful evening at FirstEnergy Stadium. Our students, adults, staff and their families spent the evening running around on the field and playing kickball after enjoying a true ballpark meal. Thank you to our friends the R-Phils for a great evening!
We have more anniversary events planned throughout the year. Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Schlert on Oct. 24, to coincide with the Feast Day of St. John Paul II. We are excited to celebrate our mission, the staff, families and students and adults who helped to shape the vibrant thriving center it is today.
“We enjoy being a family again.” That’s how Justin’s mother Tisa describes the true impact of his being at JPII. This is what we hope for all our families, that the skills their children learn here extend beyond the classroom. Building friendships can be difficult for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but here at JPII we can see them growing each day. It’s reassuring to know that the social interaction skills they are learning in class are translating into meaningful friendships.
Calling all coffee lovers! John Paul II Center’s Pendants w/ Purpose business is now selling our own coffee blend through the Reading Coffee Company. Why not support JPII while enjoying your morning Joe (or any time of the day)!
