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!



The lunchroom is a good place to be! Happy people and great food.




Thankful Thursday!! Every morning staff gathers for prayer - I am so thankful for the example of living their faith that they give. Thursdays we say prayers of thanksgiving-many mentions of community, families and students. Count your blessings today!


We love our volunteers. These ladies share their expertise in scholars bowl and as a retired librarian. Do you have talents or passions to share? We would love to have you. 1Peter4:10 As each had received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.



We Welcomed first grade families to our all school Mass this week. After joining in our celebration we shared coffee, treats and good conversation!





Quarter 2 electives. Lots of great learning going on.





Recertification in CPR. Being prepared
