SaintsGiving Update
What a day we've had and it's not over yet! We are truly blessed by your generosity! All funds raised today benefit the StJPII Annual Fund.

Here's what we've achieved so far, thanks to your support:

  • Almost 200 gifts or pledges received
  • Over $150,000 donated to StJPII
  • Special thanks to the Kim, Schuckle, and Rodgers families for keeping our momentum going and sponsoring virtual gift boxes

We can't wait to share more good news and details tomorrow! There's still time to join the excitement - every gift, pledge, monthly payment, and matching gift makes a difference! Once we reach 200 donors we will get to open our final virtual box on social media which will be BIG, thanks to an anonymous donor, so help us keep the momentum going!
Thank You to our Donors!

Our benefactors are direct blessings from the Lord. We pray gratefully in Mass and every day that the Lord will provide for all your needs, as you are doing for us.

Thank you in advance for your support and making StJPII your charity of choice!
House Incentive - Homework Pass
Mathew is in the Lead!
During the month of November, our students learned about the virtue of Stewardship, which flows beautifully to the season of Advent. We learned that we practice Stewardship when we take care of others. Our community is so blessed by many people who take care of StJPII. You may have noticed that during Mass, we pray a special intention of thanksgiving for our benefactors. We have encouraged our students to be grateful for those who provide for the needs of our school. To get our students involved in the spirit of SaintsGiving, there will be a one-day House Competition...students in the HOUSE with the most participation (# of gifts or pledges) on SaintsGiving will earn a FREE HOMEWORK PASS! Have children in multiple houses? Don't worry, your family's gift will count toward each house to which your children belong. The official winning House will be announced tomorrow!

SaintsGiving Excitement on Campus
Giving Back through Service
On Friday, November 19, the SJPII 6th Graders in Girl Scout Troop #149104 had their November Field Trip to the Houston Food Bank. They worked to assemble meal bags for HFB’s Backpack Buddy Program. In conjunction with their families and other volunteers they helped in providing 12,000 meals to children who often times go home for the weekend or holiday breaks with little or no meals. What better way to be thankful this holiday season than giving the gift of food to those in need. We are so proud of them and the charity work they are dedicated to doing this year with the Girl Scouts!
