    Dear Parents, Guardians, and Friends,
     
    One of the many blessings we enjoy at SJ23 is our association with our namesake and patron saint, Pope St. John XXIII. Each year on October 11, we mark his feast with a day of devotion and celebration. Two years ago, we began the tradition of conducting a Eucharistic Procession following the Mass. Pope St. John XXIII had a great devotion to Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist and called the whole Church to share in that devotion. “In the Blessed Sacrament, a heavenly school is open to you,” he wrote, “with the best teacher one can possibly imagine, Jesus Christ himself.”

  • Semifinalist in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program

    This week, National Merit Scholarship Corporation officials announced the names of over 16,000 Semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors can continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring.

    To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.

    SJ23 is pleased to announce Matthew Parmenter as a Semifinalist for the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. Congratulations!
