News & Announcements

This spring our Bioethics Department is excited to offer an adult seminar on the "Principles of Ethics" during the evening. This Spring’s course will take place on Tuesday nights from 7:00-8:30 beginning on February 3, 2026. The course is free and open to anyone, including those outside of the JP Community. While the topics do build upon one another, it is not absolutely necessary to commit to all sessions.

High school can be tough, but on rare occasions it can be a place of grace. It was for the McCoppin family, and especially for their eldest daughter Kelly who just graduated from Saint John Paul the Great High School in Potomac Shores.
