Greetings!
 | |
Brenda Brown,
Director of Advancement |
Have you ever had the opportunity to witness history in the making?
When I served the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict as their Director of Communications, I had the very special opportunity to witness history as the Sisters celebrated their 150th anniversary. I know I will have that same feeling as Saint John's Prep celebrates becoming an International Baccalaureate World School on Friday, April 8.
Please join us from 4-7 p.m. in the Great Hall and be a part of this incredible celebration of yet another milestone in the life of the Prep School. Presentations will be made at 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. and we will be serving wonderful hors d'oeuvres and beverages. RSVP to Mary by April 1st by clicking here. If you are not able to attend, but would like some more information about what the I.B. Programme is, check out this great, short video.
This is also the same date as our Career Mentoring Day and Alumni/Staff vs. the Seniors Basketball Game in the old gym. We are excited to have two members of the class of 1990 with us for the keynote addresses, Dr. Chris Wenner and Regent Wendy (Rachey) Hulsebus. Come for the morning and stay for the day.
Looking forward to witnessing history with you on April 8!
Benedictine Peace, Brenda |

Get Your Copy! The Magic Fault by Paul Mohrbacher |
Paul Mohrbacher, Class of 1952, has written a new novel called The Magic Fault. The Shroud of Turin - claimed to be the burial cloth of Christ - is stolen from a chapel in the cathedral of Turin in the fall of 2004. The Shroud is probably the most famous relic in the Catholic Church - even if perhaps a fake. The thieves leave only one obscure clue: The relic will head off a disaster. Beyond the identity and grand design of the thieves lies an opportunistic plan to tilt the Catholic Church eastward - again.
This mystery novel is available at Amazon.com and more information can be found at: www.magicfault.com. |
