Middle schoolers heard about the vocation to marriage from Mrs Jones and Mr Gaustad. Both shared how God is an important part of their lives and that even though things didn’t go as they planned, God’s plan was best.
Sr Philippa visited with third grade about how her vocation was like a seed growing, to help her know her vocation.
Deacon Nicholas visited the third graders about his vocation. Permanent deacons are ordained in persona ecclesia to the church rather than in persona Christi like priests. He shared that vocations stories aren’t always a straight line as he discerned the priesthood in seminary two different times. To aid in discerning he said discern one vocation at a time. We are blessed that he serves SHOJ.

3N is helping the moms of seminarians with care packages by adding letters. Reading the great questions and positive notes reminded me that Vocations Week is next week. Have you asked your child if they think about being called to religious life or marriage or devout single life?
Thank you SHOJ for making a difference for families to get a catholic Education. Great night for our Archdiocese!

Shawnee FD came to SHOJ on Thursday to talk about fire safety with our Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders. Their homework was to develop a fire safety and evacuation plan at home, to set up a meeting place in the yard, and to have their parents check the batteries in all the smoke detectors in the house. Students were also encouraged to sleep with bedroom doors completely closed as that's the best way to start protected in case of a house fire.
Pets are a blessing.
