SJJ VIKINGS IN ACTION
Second Grade is preparing for First Communion. Fr. Andy visited the students, teaching them a beautiful song and how to receive the Eucharist. This Saturday, our second graders will participate in Jesus Day at both St. Joseph Church and St. John Neumann Church, as they deepen their understanding of the Eucharist and grow in their relationship with Christ.
Students also had a visit from Maggie and Ellie's Pottery, painting a First Communion Keepsake of a Rosary box or a votive. The students loved both experiences and are so excited for their First Holy Communion on May 10!
All of our students have been working hard on decorating their pizza box for our PTU's Marco's Pizza Fundraiser. See below for more information.
