John Paul Clinics and Workshops are back!! 4th - 8th graders are invited to join us at JP this fall to have fun, make friends, and develop skills in volleyball, soccer, basketball, and/or STEM! We look forward to seeing you soon!

You are invited to join Sister Malia Grace, O.P. for six, 90-minute sessions discussing the first bioethics course offered at Saint John Paul the Great High School: The Human Person: A Philosophical Perspective. The course is designed to present St. Thomas Aquinas’ philosophical understanding of the human person, which gives the basis for understanding human dignity. Topics covered include the relationship of the human body and soul, the distinguishing powers of the human soul and its nature as both a spiritual and immortal entity, and finally, the nature of human love, marriage and human sexuality.

Thank you to Cathy Kovac, Francesca Rusk-Wallace, and the families that contributed to the Teacher and Staff Appreciation breakfast!
