Seminarians Aune and Smith to be ordained to the priesthood June 11

Through Matthew, Huizenga presents Jesus’ founding of the Catholic Church as a robust, rigorous religion with vibrant rituals, and the sacrificial Eucharist as sustenance on the narrow way to heaven.

Too often, we do not realize that we have strayed from the principles of Catholic social doctrine until a disaster strikes.

Our two newest priests and all our priests are living proof of His love.  

JPII Catholic Schools is looking to hire the following positions for the 2020-2021 school year. Click on the title above to see the full listing.

If we want to be faithful Christians, we must love and pray for our enemies.

Our faith and hope remain intact and hopefully we have strengthened them by our prayer, good works and sacrifices
