SJC AT A GLANCE

Letter from the Principal, Mrs. Gorman

We are delighted to present this year’s Annual Fund Annual

Report. Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we have good

news to report. Once again, our annual fund exceeded its goal,

receiving over $140,000. In 2016-17, The Annual Fund provided

many enhancements including Apple TV’s, new desks in classrooms,

and updates to our Chapel.

This additional revenue stream truly helps bridge the gap of

tuition revenue and the true cost to educate a child. Our teachers

believe that The Annual Fund enhances their students’ experiences.

We believe in Catholic education, we believe in our vision, and we

believe in you. Your gifts to SJC make a difference every day. Thank

you for your continued generosity.

Mission Statement

The mission of St. John of the Cross Parish School is to provide a

safe and dynamic Catholic environment where faith is nourished

multigenerational Catholic traditions and achievement, which

empowers our students to live The Good News.
