St. John Bosco was featured three different times last week on two different broadcast channels! In case you missed them, here are the clips:
St. Benedict parishioner and SJB 6th grader Emma M. and few friends organized and held a concession stand at her brother's baseball tournament, where they decided to raise money for the St. Vincent de Paul organization at St Benedict. Over the weekend, they ended up raising $250! Pictured are Emma M., Brynlee B., Ryan E., Bryce B., and Kirsten E.. What a generous display of service!

A permanent plaque will be on display on campus and another one will be given to Mrs. Klee to take with her. Since the last of the Klee children has now graduated from SJB, please join us in wishing them well in their future careers. Thank you, Mrs. Klee. We are forever grateful and will miss you! |

Catholicism Series
Have you wondered if your children's knowledge of the Catholic faith is progressing beyond your own? Come to the Catholicism video series held Tuesday evenings this summer at St. Benedict and grow in your own faith so you can help your children grow in theirs.
During this video series, Fr. Robert Barron guides us through what Catholics believe and why, so all adults may come to a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith. This series will be presented for 10 weeks over the summer on Tuesdays, beginning June 9, from 6- 7:30 pm in the St. Benedict Meeting Room. Each session is self-contained, so come to one or all of them. For more information, click here. |
