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.

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 
 

 

 

We've been holding off on starting religious education registration for 2020-2021 because, frankly, there are still way too many things up in the air. We are definitely going to offer the home-study option, with any accommodations we need to make for our in-person gatherings every three months. But beyond that, we need to wait for whatever protocols the state is going to set out for schools. We have a few plans in mind for our in-class program, and we'll roll out the one that best conforms to those requirements - once we know what they are. So please hang tight!

The participating businesses who advertise in our parish bulletin make it possible for John Patrick Publishing to bring you the Sunday bulletin free of charge.  We are asking for your help in reaching additional advertisers in order to keep the bulletin strong.  Here’s how you can help:
If you own a business or can suggest any places you frequent, please consider becoming an advertiser by reaching out to John Patrick Publishing via email at  sales@JPPC.net, fax your information to 609-883-8821 or call 1-800-333-3166, ext 161.
We ask all parishioners to please help support our parish by patronizing the businesses who advertise in our bulletin. 
Lastly, thank you to all of the businesses who currently  advertise in our bulletin, your support is important to continue to keep our bulletin healthy and vibrant.







Bingo help is needed on Thursday evenings, starting at 5:45pm.  Different jobs available.  Bingo is a major fundraiser for our parish.  If interested, please call the church office at 294-5328.  A Bingo volunteer will then contact you.  Thank you.








We would like to assemble a group of musicians – singers, instrumentalists, etc. – to lead the music at the 5:00pm Sunday Masses.  The most pressing need is someone with keyboard skills, preferably on the piano, but we envision this ensemble including a variety of  other instruments – guitars, woodwinds, brass, percussion.  We already have one willing soul – but we welcome more!  If interested, please speak with  Fr. George.

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!
