Honoring our servicemen and women!
Each Friday, our student flag team will be flying the flags of the branches of our Armed Forces in which alumni of SJPII are currently serving. We would like to ask members of our community to share with us any family members who have served and the branch that they served in, so that we can have a list for our prayers each Friday.
Pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi
Buongiorno!!
We will spend 8 days in Rome exploring the history of our church, Western Civilization and walk in the footsteps of St. John Paul II. Our pilgrimage will focus on the environment that formed early Christians, St. John Paul II and ourselves. As a great extension of the Great Books education received at St. JPII CHS, we will ask ourselves how we can follow St. John Paul II’s call for a new evangelization when we leave the halls of our school. Each day will focus on different aspects of the city such as St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican City, Ancient Rome with the Forum and Colosseum, the Major Basilicas, and the Catacombs. We will also have a day trip to Assisi to explore the medieval city of St. Francis and St. Clare.
Open initially to Juniors and Seniors and their parents. Younger siblings and others welcome as space available.
Dates: May 25-June 3, 2017
Cost $3399 - includes Airfare, all transportation, all breakfasts and evening dinners
