HOLY CHILDHOOD CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Weekly Newsletter - November 6
We are excited to announce that our middle school students will have the special opportunity to hear from inspirational speaker, author, and Catholic leader John Foppe.
Born without arms and facing significant health challenges at birth, John learned early on to rely on faith, perseverance, and determination to navigate life’s everyday obstacles. He earned a Master's degree in Social Work from Saint Louis University, authored the acclaimed book What’s Your Excuse?, and has served as Executive Director for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in St. Louis.
Drawing on his deep faith and powerful story of overcoming physical limitations, John will speak to our students about recognizing their God-given value, overcoming self-imposed limits, and answering the call to serve others with courage.
