It's not too late to take another look at St. John’s Catholic School

for 2007–2008!

 

We have limited openings in grades K-6. Our school offers a superior education and a tradition of excellence in a faith-based, disciplined environment. Please call the School Office at

952-935-7787 for more information or to arrange a tour. We look forward to showing you all of the wonderful things our school has to offer.

Jesus mandated by the Word of Scripture and by his example that we care for each other.  The care of most of us for those most dear to us is the norm and is admirable.  However, there are many who have no one to care for them or about them.  One of the many ways most of us can reach out, beyond ourselves and our close circles, is through KINSHIP of greater Minneapolis. 

Kinship needs individuals, couples or families to befriend children, ages 5–15, in the metro area.  Kinship can be reached at 612-588-4655/www.kinship.org.  Most of us have much more than we need.  Here is one effective way to share our blessings. R. G.
