St. John Full-Day Pre-K Program

At St. John Catholic Elementary School we believe that Pre-Kindergarten is the time to turn your curious child into an active, interested student who looks forward to going to school. A love of learning that begins in Pre-K starts your child down the road that leads to success in high school and beyond.

Our full-day, center-based, Pre-K program for 4 year olds, offers the young learner a safe, caring environment, where the fundamentals of literacy, math, religion, science and social studies are introduced. As students play, learn, make their own choices and socialize, our teachers work to help children develop creative and critical thinking, as well as large and fine motor skills, through active, hands-on exploration.

you may do so online at www.cardinalsappeal.org, or by
using one of the envelopes available at the back of the
church. Our parish number is 433.  

FORTY YEARS: OPENING DOORS TO OUR FAITH 

In 1979, Terence Cardinal Cooke started the Cardinal's Archdiocesan Appeal to facilitate the pastoral, educational and charitable works of the Archdiocese of New York. In the 40 years since, the Appeal has raised many millions of dollars - every penny of which has benefited parishes and the 2.7 million Catholics of the Archdiocese of New York. 

In his first address as pope, Saint John Paul II called on all of us to " open wide the doors to Christ"- a call for personal holiness and conversion of heart but also a call to invite others into the universal Church. We pray we may continue opening our doors to those who need to hear the message of our Lord. 

The doors that matter most are at the entrances to our nearly 300 parishes. That's why, on its 40th anniversary, we are focusing the Cardinal's Annual Stewardship Appeal entirely on keeping our parishes healthy and vibrant.- .ny-archdiocese.org

THANK YOU for returning the red hymnals to the ends of the pews and the missalettes to the racks after Mass.

We hope everyone likes the new maroon covers for the Breaking Bread hymnals.  Thanks to all those who helped with last week’s “hymnal swap”!  One note: the front covers of the BB books are not inserted into the vinyl maroon covers by design!  If you try to put the front cover into the plastic sleeve, it’s only going to ruin the cover.  Please help us, too, in keeping the church clean: BB books to the hymnal racks after Mass, red hymnals to the ends of the pews.  Thank you!
