SaintsGiving on Giving Tuesday
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. So far, we have raised $130,000 with one more box to open!

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 some generous 6th-grade families, so help us keep the momentum going!
Thank You to our Donors!

Giving Back through Service
Every month, each grade level participates in service projects and we also have school-wide service opportunities. Through our service projects, students share with others the gifts they have received. This year we have teamed up with The Star of Hope, St. John Vianney Catholic Church, and St. Mary's Seminary. Shown here are just a few of the service projects we have hosted this semester thus far!
